Can't export to 1080p video in iMovie

I've imported a video taken with my iPhone 4s into iMovie 11.  I confirmed the video is actually 1080p.  In iMovie I then select Share -> Export Movie, the only size available is "Large 720 x 540" or smaller.  Since this was 1080p video to begin with, shouldn't I be able to export it as 1080p?
So, I searched and found a youtube video describing how to export 1080p video using QuickTime.  I followed the video step by step, but when I got the the part to select H.264 format, that format was unavailable.
What do I have to do to export 1080p video?
I don't recall this being a problem in the past.

Hi
Im curious about this point. I recently imported some video from a 5S, the option on my mac said, import as large or original, when i checked orginal I got a warning saying it may lose quality on playback so I checked large. I want to keep the quality from the 5S so I can export to itunes and watch on my HD tv with apple TV, by checking large does that decrease quality or is it the correct default?
My macbook is non-retina so I am assuming the playback quality it refers to is on my mac. I have changed the default to original even with the playback warning - is this correct?

  • How can I export an mv4 video in iMovie 10?

    How can I export my project in iMovie 10 in mv4 video? THK

    You can't.  iMovie 10 only exports .mp4 - you will have to share then post-process.  If you mean .m4v there are fre apps that will do the conversion (such as Media Converter  see http://media-converter.sourceforge.net)

  • I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy.  How can i fix this?

    mr
    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.

  • What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

    Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
    I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor?  Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

    No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.

    Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Probably because your set up doesn't support HDCP.

  • How can I import iphone 4 videos to iMovie 09?

    I tried different ways to import my videos from iphone 4 (.mov) to iMovie 09 but I had no success. I transfer the video to my iMac using image capture, then try to import the video to iMovie, but seems iMovie does not recognize the video format .mov from the iphone 4. Can anyone tell me how can I do this?
    Thanks a lot for the help

    I have no problems with iphone 4 video, have you edited it on the phone or anything.

  • Why can't Aperture supply referenced Videos to iMovie?`

    I recently figured out that I have some videos inside my Aperture library, the rest is referenced in a separate location.
    Why can't Aperture make these videos available to iMovie for editing?

    Because that is the way the program was written.
    Seriously there is no way to answer that question. The designers of Aperture made this choice, whether it is because of some limitation in the underlying software or for other reasons no one can say.
    It is as it is.

  • How can't i import the videos to iMovie?, how can't i import the videos to iMovie?

    how can't i import the videos for i movie?

    Dear Mr. Chan-please tell us more about your hardware and what kind of movies you are trying to import into iMovie. as far as I know, iMovie only handles a few kinds of movies, mp4, m4v, mov and DV, and that's it. It will NOT convert every kind of movie out there to whatever. try something like handbrake, perian (with QuickTime) or MPEG streamclip to get the movie that you are maybe having trouble with into a more iMovie friendly format

  • Can't import mts/HD video to imovie 09

    Hi,
    I have the Sony HDR-TG5V & have successfully imported mpg/SD videos to imovie but haven't been able to import mts/HD videos. I've tried deleting the SD from my video camera but it still doesn't recognize the mts/HD videos. For some reason the SD videos keep popping up even though I've deleted them from the camera. Please help!

    Yes the ffmpeg solutions seems to work and I was very happy with this at first beceause this also eliminates re-encoding whole video clips again.
    BUT! I do have serious performance issues inside iMovie '09 with these newly created M4V files. Once imported skimming through them goes extremely slow. An I mean extreeemely slowww... So I'm unable to use them. When I choose the optimize setting and let iMovie convert the file to Quicktime after all, optimizing also takes a very large amount of time. A 30 seconds clip took me about an hour to import/optimize and I don't have this issue when importing from camera. Once imported and optimized in Quicktime the clip works perfect just like any other clip but it's gonna tame me a tremendous amount of time to do this with the large amount of MTS files I have (incorrectly) saved on an external hard drive.
    There must be some sort of solution to wrap up the MTS files in a native AVCHD folder structure so that iMovie will import them? And I mean a solution without re-encoding them to MPEG4 or whatsoever beceause that would be costing me too much time as well.
    Any other tips? Maybe writing the files back to the camcorder but unfortunately Canon only supplies Windows software for doing that. Anyone had experience with that?

  • How can I export 1080p video through iMovie 10.0.5?

    Hi,
    I know this question has been asked many times, but I just cannot find a solution. I need help please.
    I have searched for tutorials and questions and they all say to export the video through quicktime. It could be done by clicking share, then choosing quicktime. But the thing is I do not have that option on my iMovie app on my MacbookPro.
    Once I press share i have the options to share on Theater, Email, iTunes, Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN ireport, and saving it as a file.
    It shows that 1080p could be an option, but I am not able to pick 1080p as an export on any of the options to share shown above.

    I was in the same boat at kiril. I wanted to export a .mov file. What you can also do is select the clip, then select "share" it will bring up a separate menu. If you select to email the clip it will create a file on your email application. With the email open you can then right click on the file within the email and select "save to downloads folder".
    Within the downloads folder your file will be listed as a .mov file. Move the .mov where ever you want it to go.
    OR you can select within the email when you right click "save attachment" and select where you want to save the .mov file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can You Edit And Export 60 fps Video With iMovie 10.0.5?

    So the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus let you shoot video at 60 fps, right?

  • How can I edit a .3pg video on iMovie and upload to Youtube without compromising the quality of the video?

    So far I have just transfered the .3pg video files from my Droid X to my Macbook Pro.  iMovie won't let me open a .3pg file and the last time I used a .mov, there was no option to view the video on 720p, which is what I would like.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is a free download.
    Also, install the Perian components from Perian.org. (Also free).
    Drag your android clip into MPEG Streamclip. The FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the Apple Intermediate Codec as the codec.
    You can import the resulting file into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE...

  • Exporting my HD video from iMovie to be used in Handbrake

    What is the best export method (file type and settings) for exporting HD video to be converted using Handbrake? I use handbrake to convert my HD video to be played on my iPad. And I want to edit the video first in iMovie, then export the movie to handbrake to be converted to play on my iPad.
    My biggest concern is exporting from iMovie, I want the best possibly quality. Any help from your experience is appreciated. Thanks!

    I still don't see how Handbrake is necessary.
    For example, you can, in imovie, SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose h.264 as codec, 1280x720 as dimensions, and then set data rate at a good level.
    I would recommend that you make a 1 minute movie so you can test various settings and see which works for you. Try a data rate of say 12Mbps and then try lower data rates until you see a drop off in quality. You may be able to go as low as 5mbps or lower. The only advantage of a low data rate is a lower file size, but iPads have limited storage so no need to use more bandwidth than necessary.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert CamStudio video into iMovie?

    Dear All
    I use CamStudio to record some Windows application presentations. I heard that QuickTime Pro gives the ability to convert any playable movie to be converted to formats that iMovie accepts. I am pondering if I should by QuickTime pro or not. Could you please give me some advice? Here are my questions.
    I am wondering if anyone has tried to import the video recorded using CamStudio to QuickTime Pro and convert to a format that iMovie can accept and edit?
    Another question would be, is there any formatting limitation iMovie possesses which limits the merger of two videos from two sources?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Here's the summary of what I did :
    Downloaded [CamStudio|http://camstudio.org>
    Openen VirtualBox on my Mac and installed Camstudio in Win XP.
    Made a screenmovie.
    Saved it to the Mac.
    Opened it in QT Pro on the Mac.
    Exported it to QuickTime (.mov) and MPEG-4 (.mp4).
    Opened both in iMovie.
    Made movie with both clips.
    Exported it to .m4v.
    So it is possible.
    And here's the movie : [CamStudio|http://www.wyodor.net/_Discussions/CamStudio.html]

  • Can not export in 1080P in elements 9

    To start off, I'm not the type of person that bought the program for just editing, well I don't know how to put it but I basically work for google.....
    I have a Canon SX20, SD940, GoPro, Lumix TS1, Canon FS200, SD750, and a Canon T2i.....so i needed this program.
    I can not find an export setting for 1080P, only 1080i. I know there is not that much of a difference with those but I film construction machinery and when it comes to things constantly moving in the frames, it kinda gets a little annoying, Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Again, I need to know what video format you're trying to OUTPUT as in order to tell you how to save it with progressive scan interlacing.
    EDIT:
    Okay, I think you're saying you're trying to create an MPEG. Can I ask how you plan to deliver it (DVD, BluRay, online)? This will help me help you.
