In what frame rate (fps) iMovie for iOS exports videos?

I shot two similar clips with an iPhone 6. One in 30fps and the other in 60fps just to see how much smoother would the slow motion be in iMovie. The clip shot in 60fps worked great even when slowed down by 1/2. The odd thing was, that when i reset both clips to normal, original speed and whatched the movie in in full screen in iMovie, I noticed that the smoothness of the clip shot in 60fps is gone and both clips look like they were shot in 24fps or 30fps.
So my question is, in what framerate iMovie exports projects? And is there a way to export in 60fps?
Thank you for your help!

Sadly it appears that ALL exports are converted to 30p only incuding Prores !, some like iCloud Sharing are even less 720/30p 5Mbps
True for iMovie for iOS and latest iMovie for Mac that does not have anymore "export to Quicktime" that enabled 60p export
Big regression only driven by marketing issues,
Final Cut Pro X solve the problem on Mac OSX
Pinnacle Studio solve the problem on IOS 8

  • What frame-rate does your computer play 1080p video?

    At what frame-rate do the Intel iMacs play 1080p videos? You can test this by doing a Get-Info while the clip is playing. The info window will show how many fps (frames per second) of video is being displayed.
    Here's a link to some video clips, be sure to choose 1080p (not 720p or 480p):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/
    -thanks

    My 17" Intel Core Duo 1.83 has no trouble playing the 1080 p at 24 fps, it ranges from 23.5 to 24.5 depending on the scene etc. Processor cores running at 60%.
    The lower resolution 1080p (it said 1080p but was 1440 by 1080) Didn't even stutter (stayed at 24 fps) when I opened MS Word in Rosetta mode. Even opening Excel, FireFox, iTunes, and iPhoto at the same time and it dropped to 23 fps for about half a second and rebounded to 25.5 fps before settling back at 24 fps.
    The true 1080p (1920x1080) dropped to 18 or 20 fps when other applications were opened. I should point out that these tests were run when the video was still downloading. And in some of the very high speed scenes it would drop to 18 or 20 frames/second for a short time (hardly noticeable). Other applications were running during this time as well. This was the 1080p version of http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/higherground.html
    I should point out in 1080p the window is too large to fit on the screen of the 17" monitor. For the test I ran it with the image partially off the screen so it is running at native resolution (however it runs just as fast at any window size). 1080p is 1920 x 1080, so I imagine this is why the 20" is recommended for 1080p. If you have QuickTime Pro you can watch it full screen mode.

  • APE 10: How to select a frame be the thumbnail for the exported video file?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and using Windows 7. I create a title and place it as the first clip in the Sceneline. When I export the video and look at the file using Windows Explorer folder view, the thumbnail shown is a frame from another clip and not the clip containing the title. How can I get the title to be used as the thumbnail for exported video files?

    Hi Bill, thanks for your thoughts on this.
    The file created is indeed the one intended and in the correct folder. When I double-click on the file the video is played and the first thing I see is the title. So the video created has what I expect. Go figure.
    I'm starting to think that there might be a Windows setting that determines how Windows Explorer picks the frame to be used as the thumbnail for video files. I have not found any reference to it so far.
    Here is some new info...
    If I replace the first clip that has the title with another clip, then the thumbnail is created from that first clip. As soon as I add the title as the first clip, then the thumbnail is created from the second clip.
    OK ---- I just found information that states that the thumbnails are created by Windows and placed in a file that act as a cache for the thumbnails. This prevents Windows Explorer from generating the thumbnails each time the folder is viewed. In my computer (64-bit Win 7), the thumnail cache files are stored in folder "C:\Users\Ramon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". They have an extension of ".db". I found the information at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache

  • What frame rate?

    What frame rate & key frames settings should I export my HD video in? Any other setting suggestions to get the highest quality HD video would greatly be appreciated.

    Hi
    A. Can You set key-frame rate in iMovie'08 - Didn't know this. In FinalCut Yes.
    I set same as project requires.
    B. 25 fps = PAL interlaced for TV. 29.97 = NTSC for TV
    For 720i and 720p resp 1080i or p - Don't know. My guess 25/50 or 29.97/60.

  • What frame rate should you build your Flash file at?

    Every second of video has 30 frames. But Flash animations can
    be done at any frame rate, which raises a couple of important
    questions:what frame rate should you work at, and second, if you
    choose to work at a rate other than 30 frames per second (fps), how
    do you convert to 30 fps? I deal with the question of frame rate
    conversion below.
    You can create a Flash movie at 30 fps. But if is going to be
    played back on a computer, a 30 fps .swf file will generally
    produce unacceptably high data rates, unless the image is very
    small and simple, or the computer it is playing on is very fast. It
    can also create a lot of extra animation work if you want to draw
    in-betweens for all 30 frames. Fortunately, there is no need to
    build your Flash movie at 30 fps, even if you are planning to
    transfer it to video.
    I usually build animation that needs to work on the web or
    video at 12 fps. This gives us a good balance of lower data rates
    and smoother animation. When creating cartoon style animation, it
    also keeps our work consistent with the majority of broadcast
    animation. While some high end cel animation is done at 24 frames
    per second (the rate that film is projected at), much broadcast
    animation is created at 12 fps. This is because it is drawn on
    "2's." In other words, each image holds for 2 frames. Do the math
    and it becomes clear why--half the amount of frames to draw each
    second. While Disney and Dreamworks may have virtually unlimited
    budgets to create their epic animations, most broadcast (and even
    more so, Internet) productions are on very tight budgets. But even
    the big studios do a lot of character animation on 2's. It looks
    good that way, so why create twice the work?
    If we are using flash to build a cartoon solely aimed at
    broadcast or film, however, we build it at 24 fps. That way we can
    animate on 2's for most of the character animation, but do animate
    on 1's for segments or particular motions that require smoother
    animation.
    If we are using Flash to build graphics for broadcast use
    only, and so won't be hand drawing in betweens, we usually build
    the file at 30 fps. This will give us the smoothest motion, and
    data rate won't be an issue for you. It is also possible to even
    build it at 60 fps, and convert this to a 30 fps video with fields
    In the end, you can decide to build it at any rate you want.
    The lower the rate, the smaller the file size, data rate and number
    of frames to animate, but the less smooth the animation.
    Conversely, the higher the frame rate, the higher the file size,
    data rate and number of frames to animate, but with smoother
    animation.
    now I use
    FLASH VIDEO MX PRO
    to covnert Video in multiple formats to FLV or SWF, I set the frame
    size just as above, I always get soomth Flash
    at the meantime, I have to set video rate when I use
    FLV To Video Convert
    Pro to play the video in my iPod, if you set the wrong frame
    rate, your iPod and other devices may not support the frame rate

    Usually video quality has nothing with frame rate, but when
    you convert flash to iPhone or other devices, you should think of
    which frame rate video can your device play. when I convert .swf to
    iPhone with
    SWF to Video
    Converter, as you know, iPhone can only support frame rate from
    2 to 15 or a little more, I always choose 15. In this scare, frame
    rate is higher, the quality is better.

  • IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

    Question, asked professionally
    When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
    Question, asked snarkily
    Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?

    iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
    iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
    Frustration
    Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
    The year: 2015
    Hours lost: Three Weeks
    Total costs for both devices: $4,000
    Background Details
    I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
    Likely Suspect
    I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
    Suggestions
    I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
    MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE  OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
    Resolutions
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
    Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
    Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
    As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

  • This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS.

    I have the latest verison of iMovie on both my Mac and iPad 3g. I used a trailer on the iPad iMovie and exported it to iTunes. On my Mac I went to iTunes and pulled the file down and clicked to open it. After iMovie can up it dispalyed "This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS."
    How can this be?

    I'm having the same problem.  I've check the instructions for exporting a Movie trailer that can be found in iMovie for iOS 6 and have followed them to a tee, numerous times.  Each time i export a trailer i've created using the iPad, i can easily save it to my MacBookPro.  But iMove on my laptop refuses to import a movie with the suffix ".iMoveTrailer", which is what you get in iMove for iOS6 when you export and use iTunes in Mac OS to save the file.  How strange?  There must be someting wrong going on here.  Anyoner have any thoughts?  I'm just trying to save an iMove trailer from the iPad and would like to burn it to a DVD to give to friends.  Hmmmm.....

  • "An error occurred during upload" iMovie for iOS

    HI, I was wondering if anyone could help? I was trying to make a movie for my Father's 67th birthday. I created the movie with a mixture of videos and photos from my phone, with some text on some and some music to accompany it. When I try to "save to camera roll" it comes up with the message, "An error occurred during export". I have no idea why this is happening. I have tried all the other options - YouTube, Facebook, iMovie theatre, and they all don't work. With those options the say that the movie is uploading but it doesn't actually do anything. Fortunately I was able to show him through AirPlay and previewing the movie but I want it on my camera roll so that he can have a copy and my family can. Anybody got any suggestions? This is an example of what it shows me!

  • Fade in/out soundtrack using iMovie for IOS on Iphone 5 or Ipadmini?

    Hello!
    Are there any possibility to fade in/out soundtrack using imovie for IOS on Iphone 5 or Ipadmini?
    And are there any possibility to change the speed of playing the video (slomo, faster, etc)?
    Thanx in advance for help.

    Yes it is. It's 3 seconds and in the .m4r format. I used it since I first bought my phone.
    One thing I've noticed, not that this has anything to do with it but... I named my phone xxx since I've had it, now when I hook it up to iTunes it shows up as xxx (2). Any idea what this is about?
    thanks for your reply.

  • IMovie for iOS help

    Hello
    Can anyone help me?  I have just filmed a trailer using the latest version of iMovie for iOS (on an iPad 3).  I then exported it from iMovie to Camera Roll as a 720p movie.  On my iMac I opened iPhoto and imported the video from my iPad's Camera Roll - dragged the file to the desktop and then copied onto a USB stick.
    The video plays perfectly on the iMac (running Mountain Lion) and perfectly on the iPad.
    When I attempt to play the video on a PC running Windows 7 it plays the movie fine BUT there is no sound (I have checked all the PC sound settings).  So I went back to the iMac - put the video into QuickTime and re-exported.  Again it works fine on the iMac (with full sound) but when I go to the PC - video plays but no sound at all.  I even tried importing the trailer into iMovie 11 on my iMac and then export - still no sound when played on a PC!
    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?  It is driving me mad.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    I don't have a PC to test my iMovie for iOS videos on, but thought I would share some information about the format of my exported files and how I view them. Hopefully that may help!
    Looking at my most recent video (not a Trailer, just a standard themed video), after exporting from iMovie on my iPhone then importing to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro, the file details are:
    For video: H.264 960 x 540 (I exported as Large)
    For audio: AAC 44100 Hz, Stereo (L R)
    In QuickTime, this information can be revealed by selecting Window > Show Movie Inspector from the menu.
    How are you viewing the movie on the PC? Are you using QuickTime? If not you can download a version for Windows from Apple's site (Google it). The movie should play perfectly on QuickTime, whether on a Mac or on a Windows PC.

  • IMovie for iOS not finding videos since update to iOS 5.1

    Hello everybody,
    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 to be able to get the newest iMovie for iOS update. The iOS Update as the iMovie Update went fine so far. But when I try to open projects I have made, iMovie just shows a yellow triangle and says that it can't find the movies. It tries to find them but with no success. I never moved the movies and they are still in the "Foto" App ( or camera-roll as it is namend sometimes). The Movies have all been taken with the build in camera, no import or nothing.
    I guess Apple has changed the directories name of the "Foto App" so iMovie can't find the Movies made under iOS 4.x and the program is not "inteligent" enough to find the movies anymore.
    Has somebody similar problems and could tell me how to re-link the movies?
    Many thanks!

    Have some video made on a Canon G9 digital rangefinder camera that was shot in a stop freeze frame mode instead of reg video. Is there a way to slow down the frame rate in iMovie.

  • Convert iMovie for iOS Trailer to a Project

    Similar to how its done on the Mac version of iMovie, is it possible to convert a trailer to a project using iMovie for iOS
    I want to convert the superhero themed trailer to a project, in order to add additional clips, pictures and increase times.

    I would love to do the same. I can find instructions for the previous version but they don't apply to the current version (2.1). I'm using iMovie for both iOS 7 and 8, iPhone and iPad, repectively.
