Premiere Pro lets you add text titles, split screens, crop your video, add lower thirds, text pop-ups, change the coloring, and many, many more things that I could not list here. So that’s one way of making your videos more visually appealing without too much work or too much editing experience. There are tons of free templates for Premiere Pro that you can use, plenty of LUTs, presets, and transitions to choose from. Here is a quick iMovie video tutorial to help you jump-start your video editing. IMovie uses a drag and drop timeline and lets you cut, trim, crop add subtitles super easily. IMovie also has a pretty capable mobile version, so you can start editing on your iPhone or iPad as well. So if you are using an iPhone to record your YouTube videos you are set. With that being said, iMovie works great with HEIC or MOV file types. Many of the buttons and options look the same.

So in some ways, transitioning from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X later down the road is not that difficult.

I would go as far as looking to iMovie as a mini version of Final Cut Pro X, which is a macOS video editor as well. So it really offers pretty much all you need to get started as a YouTuber without getting too deep into video editing and focusing more on recording and creating the content for your channel. You can do basic color matching and color adjustment by using filters. You can play around with different, effects and transitions.
