Export settings often trip people up!!
VidProMom i don’t have that export setting on the top left corner what version are you on?
VidProMom o it is tblet
VidProMom idk I'm dum
I am having issues where my file is saved onto my desktop, but I am unable to transfer my project onto a flash drive. It says "This item can't be copied because there isn't enough free space."
VidProMom So saving to high mode or custom saves as MP4, and prores as .mov? MP4 reduced the origInal file size by 2/3; whereas, prores increased it by 2-3x. I was rotating video from sideways to vertical normal viewing mode. Why can't I get basically the original file size reproduced when rotating, saving and exporting with iMovie? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this, it was very easy to follow!
I am a video teacher from the "old school" and found your video to be VERY helpful. I love how you "explain it to me like I'm a 4 tear old" (Denzel Washington) Thanks so much
LOL thank you Michael.
I'm tired of using Windows Movie Maker and decided to give iMovie a try. It's been really difficult to learn and find where things are; this video really helped, thank you!
I could hug you right now! I have spent two hours trying to figure out why my video was downloading as an .mov and not .mp4, then you happened, and you saved me lol. I seriously searched through imovie support, apple, and google...nothing! Thank you so much for your description of best vs. high!
I have literally watched 10 videos and yours was the first that actually worked! Simple, to the point - thank YOU !
Glad to hear Ashlee!!
I have been using iMovie for quite a while, however, I am someone who likes to take a quick review before I do something I don't want to waste time or material (discs) on. This video gave me the information (specs.) that I was looking for. Glad I found this resource. Thank you VidProMom for your time and expertise.
the other videos i checked out about the same topic never told me about the high-MP4 and Best-MOV format thing. thank you for that! so relieved
Meredith, Meredith, dearest Meredith. Thank you so much. GREAT stuff. As a new MacBook user, I am so ashamed of still being seemingly unable to ditch my windows default mentality so for me this is a struggle, and you just held my hand and gave me a leg-up. Consider me subscribed. It is really refreshing to see a video on UA-cam that just got straight down to business, which means you are now my best friend, whether you like it or not. Thank you and best wishes from an English guy in a french forest. 🏆🎯
U just solved the problem I've been facing for the past three years with the sentence you thought might not make anty difference to us ;))) thank you !
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm use to editing in windows movie maker and I have been struggling trying to figure out how to export my videos since switching to iMovie. I must've watched at least 6 videos that didn't help me much. This is was so simple and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This is definitely one of the most lucid and to-the-point videos I've seen on youtube. Bravo! and Thank you!
Thank you. You clearly explained the saving options. We are making a relative's wedding video and want highest possible quality, but part of the footage was filmed using an iPhone and the rest filmed using a high def camcorder. On a different web site, I learned if you have part iPhone (lower quality video) and part camcorder high def video combined into one movie, whatever you put first is the highest resolution option you are offered, so trick it by putting a high resolution photo first, then choose the high def option to save it to file, and then remove the photo and save it again. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounded good for something as important as a wedding where using extra memory is preferred.
so helpful! so happy I found you!!! love how you break things down!
I just started using iMovie I had a Windows laptop before where I would edit on Premiere Pro but Mac computers would need a graphic ram for the application to work. So I figured why not give iMovie a try and you were totally helpful, thanks a bunch!!
Thank you! Did not realize I had selected “best” and my youngest was going to be in college before I got my video loaded!
Just bloody WOW! Ive been searching YouPipe for exactly what you've just explained to me in simple effective detail. Thank you so much for this and I can now start examining your other videos. Thanks again x
GREAT JOB. Telling me to hit file was the best thing to do. I looked at a few others and couldnt understand a word they said. Especially the kid on the skateboard with the accent ! lol. Thank you
You saved me from having a stroke, thank you!
I spent hours on my first edited iMovie video and 50-odd sites, forums and videos could not tell me how to simply save and export a finished project to my computer.
Also, thank you for the head's up on the quality adjustment in the file export!
iMovie is not near as intuitive to use as it should be for the uninitiated. ;)
Thanks again!
Bahaha!!! I'm so glad this video was helpful! :)
We need people like you to help us navigate around iMovie which I find so non-intuitive!
Really great tutorial, I would've liked to see you export the final file to youtube or facebook.
Great tutorial! Quick and easy to understand. I hadn't edited anything in iMovie for a while so I just needed a refresher. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I am making a slideshow for my 20 Kindergartners and my new laptop doesn't have the idvd I usually use to make my dvds! This helped me tremendously! Thank you for saving the day! :-)
Glad to hear it!
10/10 first time using imovie and i was able to make a video for work and export it quickly! thank you!
Thank you so much I haven't been on a Mac in ten years and I recently got one as a birthday gift and lets just say, you helped me out !
Oh my so useful , I’m a complete novice to editing , well apart from iPhone , so for me this was the simplified explanation of iMovie thankyou so much x
You're so good at voiceover! You sound so conversational and natural 💙
Thanks for the tips! Exporting a file first is so much easier and faster! & then I upload to UA-cam! :)
Exactly what I was looking for !
Straight and to the point !!
THANK YOU :0)
Thanks darling. I am transitioning from PC to Mac and find myself looking for so much basic info. Your video helped me. Have a lovely rest of the week. ☀️🌸🌺🌷
OMG!!!! Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm a NEW iMovie fan after struggling for the past 3 days trying to get a PowerPoint presentation to work. Exporting and keeping fingers and toes crossed that the Windows person on the other end will be able to view it and show it at an awards dinner tomorrow night.
Good to hear Gretchen!
Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial - I'm new to using imovie and this just made it that much easier.
Thanks for the Quick video! My pc crashed... long story short having to edit on my husband's apple! The editor is a million x easier but uploading videos to his computer and then trying to figure out saving it was difficult because it is so different for me...I had to look up videos just to transfer files from my android.. was about to go cray lol. Trying to do this while my daughter is sleeping so you saved me so much time, thanks!
so when I shoot 4k 60 on my go pro hero 7 black and I edit on iMovie and then when I try to send it to my phone via airdrop it reads (failed to save item save to iCloud Drive instead and it goes to my files and not my gallery ? when I shoot 1080 p I never run into this issue I can airdrop it to my phone no problem and from there I post on all my social media outlets . any help would be greatly appreciated
Great video so easy!! Thank you so much!!!!
This has been so helpful! I was in the middle of a project when the iMovie update was installed....and I was lost! I've battled with the editing, worked out what I needed to do but then what do I do? You've just solved it for me.and I'm so happy that I can now start another project at last.
Glad to hear, Meg!

Thank you! Your video was more helpful than anything out there!
Thank you. Great video. Right to the point!
I literally love you for this. Macs are so damn difficult compared to the Windows that I’m used to but this helped so much. Thank you.
thank you!!!! this was great
Very good and easy to follow. Will be looking at more of your videos.
VERY HELPFUL!! Thank you so much! Just uploaded my 1st vid and this helped A LOT!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for all your great suggestions! Awesome...helped me a lot!
I’m having issues with quality shooting with my iPhone transferring to iMovie to edit then uploading to UA-cam. Do you have any suggestions for me? I use Dropbox to transfer from phone to Mac, I’m shooting in 4K 30, I have tried saving iMovie in both mp4 and .mov. The .mov does improve the quality some but the 5 min clip in .mov takes 3 hrs to upload? Plus the quality still sucks compared to uploading straight from my iPhone to UA-cam with an in edited version? Do you have any suggestions for me?
I’m so glad to find you thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
I felt I needed to take the time to let you know. This is one of the best videos I have seen on pretty much anything being that of a tutorial. It was the very thing I needed and you did so well in all the details. Thank you so much.
Thank you Stan! Glad it was helpful!
why does it take me a long time to upload a video when i set it to those settings? is it suppose to take days to upload?

Thanks for the help, I didn't know that by choosing different quality that it would change the format of the video. I hope it helps the issue I was having. Either way it was helpful.

Hi, my movie once saved is showing the error 1008 rendering and there are black screens lasting less than a second. How do I get rid of them, as the file wont save.
Thank you so much for this! This was very helpful! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Thanks Julian!
Ahhh tysm you are amazing!
Very simple & big help thanks !
Thank you - my uploading problem solved. Simple and smart method you showed, - but not easy peasy to find out on my own!
great video! quick question... i just shot video on my cannon ti3... it's from 2013 but still works great. it shoots in 1920 x 720 or 1940 not 100% sure.
once i upload in IMOVIE it looks perfect, even better hd quality than the latest iphone video.
however, when i go to export, the 1080 option is blurred out... im not sure why i can only export in 720 since the camera shoots in 1920 quality... any ideas?
I have seen a few options on youtube that say make sure to upload a 1080 clip on your timeline then just copy and paste your imovie project after, delete the original file and then you can export in 1080 p... but im still a bit confused as to why 720 is the only export option i see when i importing video from my Cannon.
Thanks!
You are awesome VidProMom!!!!
Thank you so much! :D
just wanted to say this is super helpful video - and I am sharing it ALOT in my video community!
Omg thank you this is the only video that works 😀😀
