Exporting HD Video in iMovie '08...YouTube

As many know, you can now upload HD video to YouTube.
I found some instructions on how to do it in iMovie using the Share>Export>As QuickTime Movie...but it doesn't work for me. The video comes out pixelated.
Does anyone know a link to how to do this? I want to export in HD for both YouTube and for my own personal use.
Thanks!!

[I ran this test myself. See results here.|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WQOcu_EEPw]
YouTube happily accepted a file in 960x540, and you can toggle it to high definition. It will be larger than the standard YouTube, but not as large as 1280x720.
I then used Export Using Quicktime to render the same movie in 1280x720. I then uploaded it to YouTube via the YouTube web page (rather than the iMovie menu item). In this case, you can toggle it to HD and it will be the large size video that YouTube shows in the demos. You can also make it full screen, although it loses some sharpness.
I did not try a 1920x1080 upload to YouTube. YouTube has a 1GB file size limit.
The YouTube version of High Def appears to be a transcoding of the h.264 1280x720 file into a Flash file in the same dimensions. No doubt this is a more efficient codec for transmitting in high volumes over the web, but you lose a little quality over the original h.264 version.
The most frustrating thing about the YouTube implementation of high definition is that you can only see it in high definition by going to the YouTube site. You cannot embed a video on one of your web pages in high definition. It will embed, but in the small size. And it will be in terrible quality unless you have your YouTube preferences set to always show HD videos in high definition (in which case, the embedded video is small in size but in excellent quality)
By the way, VIMEO has this same limitation. You cannot embed from Vimeo in HD. Your users must have an account and log in to Vimeo to see HD. (At least at YouTube, you don't have to have an account to view.)

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • Cannot export a video from imovie because the original videos are deleted from the album

    Hi,
    I made a mistake. I have an iMovie project but I cannot anymore export the project, because I have deleted the original files.
    However, I am able to play the video within iMovie by only playing it as "play full screen". If I try to play a video in the list of first page starting the imovie it would not play. A notification pops up saying "none of the missing videos were found. If the missing videos are on you computer, sync the videos to your device and relaunch iMovie." Although I already deleted my original videos..
    So the movie seems to be somehow there.
    Also before when I deleted my videos in album, I finished a step of uploading on youtube. But when I checked my youtube video menager, the video shows as it failed and unable to to convert video file.
    Do you know a way of how I can export the movie again?
    Thank you and best regards,
    Kevin

    Any luck?
    I to have the very same issue and can not get it off my phone to view on a pc or similar ?

  • 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.

  • Exporting HD video From iMovie to play on PS3

    Hello,
    I hope someone out there can help. I've been trying to export an 8 minute iMovie project from my MacBook Pro so that I can stream or play it one my PS3 in HD. I've been trying to find just the right setting so that the video file will not be enormous and more importantly play on my PS3. When converted to avi I found the file size was huge. I also found that my PS3 was not able to play a .mov.
    The video was shot using a Sanyo HD2000 which is 1080i. I have the camera settings at 60 frames. Should the video export also be the same? I am trying to avoid compressing the video. The footage imports quick as can be and looks great. Can anyone out there suggest settings that I might be able to use to maintain the HD picture quality?

  • When exporting a video from iMovie the video is not stabilized.

    HI I'm making a video in iMovie and had to stabilize some of the clips using iMovie. When the video is played back on my Mac they video seems to be
    stabilized. But once I export the video to either .mov .mp4 or export to iTunes in 720 format the video played back on other devices looks like I never
    stabilized. Any ideas or suggestions to why this would happen and how to fix it?

    Hi
    Just thinking.
    Video Sequence - From Event's - will not be stabilized on Export
    From Project's and ticked in info window to apply to clip - Will on Export (at least have ever done so for me)
    IF this do not work I would
    - Close iMovie
    - Start a New User Account
    - Log into this
    - Then try iMovie from here (Yes You might need to Re-Import / Re-Create a Project to test)
    If it now works - My guess is - 99.5% iMovie Pref. or Casche files - need to be trashed in the Old User account Library.

  • Exporting iPhoto video to iMovie 8

    I have been trying to export iphoto video to my desktop and converting it to a format so that importing it into imovie 8 would preserve the sound. The iphoto videos are mpeg1 movie format. Is there a format that will include the sound of the clip for imovie 8. Thanks, John

    The iphoto videos are mpeg1 movie format.
    Use and MPEG-based, third-party application like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware, Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. to convert your files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264, etc.
    Is there a format that will include the sound of the clip for imovie 8.
    QT conversion removes the audio. Use a third-party, MPEG-based converter.

  • IPhone 4 video to iMovie to YouTube=BLURRY

    I shot a couple videos this past weekend and went ahead and purchased the iMovie application on my iPhone. Only editing I did was adding a title. When asked to export I chosed HD. I then uploaded into Youtube and its blurry. I went back and exported it to Large (540) again - blurry. Tried Medium (360) as well and it was blurry again. Am I doing something wrong?

    Shortly after uploading it to YouTube (via web browser) your video will be immediately available in a lower resolution quality.
    You will have to *wait for YouTube to "Process" your HD video, before it becomes available in 720p*.
    It can take anywhere from 1 to several hours.

  • How come, when I upload a home video from iMovie to YouTube, the uploaded video is not iPad/iPhone supported?????

    I connected a couple of home video clips from my iPhone in iMovie and then uploaded it to YouTube so that I could share the link with family. When the upload is complete, the video says that it is no in iPhone format and cannot be viewed? Whats up with that crap? Is there something I can do about it?

    You tube converts the video to multiple formats when you upload.
    Sometimes it takes a while for the video to be viewable.
    And sometimes you tube converts to other formats before it makes ios versions.
    Just wait a few hours and try again.
    It will become viewable in time.
    If it does not then you would be better to contact google.
    You tube is theirs, and issues need to be told to them.

  • I've exported a video from iMovie but it's not showing in my pictures. Why is this happening?

    I recently made a video for my YouTube channel, but with this happening, I can't get videos out on time. I planned a video for today but it's been set back by a day. So, iCommunity, why is my video not showing in my pictures (where videos can go too) after a successful export? (It won't let me re-export it)

    You really need to ask in the Elements forum (this is Photoshop)

    But I wonder if it is a similar situation to Photoshop CS2 which needs a special download now because the activation server no longer functions

  • How can I export HD video from iMovie to my Apple TV?

    In iMovie I have tried:
    Share>Export Using Quicktime>Movie to AppleTV
    I am not given the option to change any settings from this point. It then exports to 960 by 540, which I believe is 540P (standard definition). I'm not expecting to get the 1080P it was originally shot in (I mean, c'mon, it's not even the year 2010 yet), but does anyone know if I can at least export to 720P on my Apple TV?
    I have confirmed that it imported properly at 1080P.

  • Is it possible to export a video from GarageBand to iMovie, Soundtrack or FinalCut?

    Wondering if it's possible when you make a video/movie and you've saved it in GarageBand, to export the video to iMovie, Soundtrack of FinalCut?
    thanks,
    Lorna

    First of all, you don't save a video in GarageBand.
    You can import a vidoe file into a GarageBand Project
    You can add music, sf, or anything else to that video
    At the end you use the  "Export Audio to Movie" command.
    THe result is a quicktime movie file (you can choose the format in a dialog window). That video file can be imported into any video editing software, including iMovie. There is no need to export it to iTunes.
    If you have the video already in iMovie. then you cold export only the audio in GarageBand and import that audio file back into iMovie. Just make sure that they stay in sync.
    Hope that helps
