Reviews
"This is the best educational iMovie plug-in we have ever seen! We have been able to use it across a wide range of subject areas such as: geography, PSHE, humanities and citizenship.
The whole package has given the pupils a huge step in motivation and has inspired them in the digital authoring medium. "
