Can I make an iMovie-style trailer in Waffle?

You can describe one, like "a 30-second trailer from my holiday clips with bold titles", and Waffle edits it with cuts on the beat, titles and transitions. Change anything by typing, then download.

Is Waffle affiliated with iMovie?

No. Waffle is an independent AI video editor and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by iMovie or its owners, Apple.

Which one should I choose?

If you're on a Mac, iPhone or iPad and like editing by hand, iMovie is made for that. If you're on Windows or just want to describe the video, try Waffle.
