Answers.Body: <p>If you haven't used iMovie in a few years, I recommend you give it a try. It does exactly what you're looking for.

Body: <p>I need to create some simple video tutorials for an iOS app. The tutorials will consist largely of screen footage showing the app being used with voice over and some titles. I know how to capture the video from the iPhone (Apple has made that easy). I'm looking for the best simple tool for editing the video, putting in some titles, and adding the voice over.</p>
  
  <p>The original iMove would have been great for this. Unfortunately that product no longer exists; it was replaced with something designed to package vacation &amp; birthday party video with theme overlays and all sorts of automatic stuff I don't want and can't use.</p>
  
  <p>I will be working on a MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM. I could buy Final Cut Pro and would probably be comfortable with the model it presents, but I recognize it is way way overkill for what I need to do.</p>
