Rate clips in iMovie on Mac
You can easily rate the clips you like and the clips you don’t like as you review them. When you’re ready to make a movie or trailer, you can focus on your best footage by displaying only those clips you marked as favorites.
Mark clips or ranges as favorite or rejected

on your Mac, select a range, a clip, or multiple clips in the browser.Do one of the following:
If you like the selection: Choose Mark > Favorite (or press F).
In the browser, a green line appears at the top of ranges you’ve marked as favorites.
You can also hold down the F key while a clip is playing to mark a favorite range. When the playhead reaches the end of the section you want to mark as favorite, release the F key.
If you don’t like the selection: Choose Mark > Reject (or press the Delete key).
A red line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as rejected.
Note: If you chose Hide Rejected from the pop-up menu to the left of the browser search field, clips marked as rejected disappear from view.
