iMovie – How to Use Multiple Video Track Layers

imovie

I have a four videos of the same event (a band playing) all taken from different angles.

I'd like to make a concert video of the footage. Nothing special, just cut from angle to angle throughout the song — use the guitar player close up on the guitar solo — that sort of thing.

Is there a way in iMovie to layout each video in a separate "layer" (sort of like in Photoshop), and then (after I sync them to the audio), movie the "camera" from one layer to another?

If iMovie can't do that, is there other software that can?

Thanks!

You can't really do this in iMovie as it is limited to 2 video tracks. You can do it in Final Cut or Premiere Pro if you're willing to spend the money, or HitFilm Express if you want don't want to spend a penny.
