On the contrary, there is a fundamental difference:

In "programming a report on COBOL" you are "building the machine" that
will accept the "raw materials" and produce the "finished product.  In
"creating a video on iMovie" you are providing the "raw materials" and
(eventually) receiving the "finished product" from a "machine" that is
already built.
