iMovie Movie template

I saw iMovie in OS X Mohave has a new feature of making "movie trailers" with your own Hollywood style movies by filling out a template already setup with clips and titles etc.


Does iMovie also have a template for making actual movies in the same style? I'd like to make a movie that has longer shots but still follows a storyboard type layout with an outline and shot list.


That'd be great.

There is no iMovie template per se to make movies. However, you can convert a trailer to an iMovie project and edit it in the time line like any other movie. So, in effect you do have templates for a movie. The templates for the trailer will carry over to the movie project.


From within the trailer do a File, or Edit, and select Convert Trailer to Movie.
