Give your project a professional appearance with iMovie’s great themes…

Themes are a great way to enhance the look of your movie. That’s because they use pre-determined titles, music and transitions to give your work a high-quality finish.

Eight themes are included with iMovie for iOS. They’re named Modern, Bright, Travel, Playful, Neon, Simple, CNN iReport and News. Modern is the default theme, but you can swap between them by tapping on the Settings button at any time, then swiping between the themes at the top of the page.

1. Modern

Great for short films and product demonstrations. It comes with funky transitions that use partially transparent black squares, and positive music that works particularly well with lengthy films.

2. Bright

Uses flashes of light for transitions. Useful for celebratory-themed videos and special events. The music includes electric guitars and a fast beat.

3. Playful

Perfect for birthday parties and joyful events. Transitions have colourful graphics and the music is light-hearted and catchy.

4. Neon

Has a nightclub vibe to it. Transitions have neon colours and large text. The music has a dance feel throughout.

5. Travel

A fantastic way to present your holiday video. It’s cheerful, bright and comes with some great visual effects that include a moving map of the world.

6. Simple

A basic theme, with no flashy intro and black fades for transitions. Catchy music, however.

7. News

A stereotypical news report animation opens the video with this theme. Blue graphics swish between clips during transitions.

8. CNN iReport

Uses a silver map of the world and a red strap line for the opening animation. Transitions see a red globe fly upwards across the screen. The music has a fast beat and clock chimes.
