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.

  • IPhone video to iMovie HD is distorted

    When I upload video shot on my iPhone 3Gs into iMovie HD it seems the aspect ratio is distorted. It imports just fine, and audio is fine too, it's just that the ratio is too wide. People (actually all images) look fine on the iPhone, but appear shorter and wider in iMovie. Solutions anyone?

    In the future, you can import directly into iMovie. If the movie is still on your phone's Camera Roll, you can still do this. Attach the phone via USB cable and if iPhoto opens, close it down. Then in iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA.
    If it is in iPHoto, there should be an iPhoto Event listed among the Events in iMovie. This movie should be in there.

  • 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.

  • IPhone video and iMovie

    How do I move video taken on my iPhone and get it into iMovie? The video I have is currently in iPhoto.

    same way you get photos into imovie from iphoto.
    You can use the help feature in imovie to find these answers.
    There is a media option in imovie. It will allow you to pull iphoto media into imovie.

  • Syncing iPhone video to iMovie

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to sync video from my iPhone to iMovie? Anything can help. Thanks

    This is not supported at the present time, which isn't a sync process. This is an import process.
    As with a digital camera that supports capturing photos and videos, you can use iPhoto to import photos and videos that were captured by the iPhone. Since all iLife applications are integrated, you should be able to use iMovie to access the video in iPhoto.

  • Getting iphone videos to imovie?

    The videos I've taken on my iphone, then transferred to my computer used to be uploaded onto imovie every time I opened imovie.  But not any longer.  They are only showing in iphoto.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this no longer possible?

    I just opened imovie and they were finally there!  Yes, in the events library in iphoto videos.  The last uploaded was from september, until just now!  I have no idea what happened, but when I opened imovie this time it took a minute for the videos to be loaded into imovie, like it did in the past.  And they are all there! 
    Thanks for responding!

  • Possible to rotate iPhone video in iMovie?

    I handed my phone to a friend to take a short video of her daughter and on importing found the video was rotated.
    Is there a way of rotating the video to correct this in iMovie?  TIA

    Yes you can.  Assuming you are using iMovie 10. see:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov6dae53dfd
    You do it on clips after putting them in a project timeline

  • IPhone video and iMovie - .mov format?

    OK, so I have a 3GS and an iMac, and I'm trying to create an iMovie using video that I recorded on the phone. I finally was able to import the data into iPhoto and it's working fine there (showing up as .mov format), but just as a passive - I can't do anything with it in iPhoto, including play it. I want to import it to iMovie but it won't let me. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks!

    I tried that, but when I did, it wouldn't let me open anything at all in iPhoto - it was greyed out as an option. I could move the files to my desktop and see if that works. BRB.
    ETA: It seems to be generating the thumbnails now, since I moved the files to the desktop. Weird. Hopefully it'll continue to behave.
    Thanks for your help, guys!

  • Error importing iphone video to imovie

    I am trying to import iphone 4 video to iPhoto on MBP but getting an error.  Is there a video minimum time?  I'm importing videos 1 at a time, videos are about 3 to 12 minutes long.  All have .mov extension.  Getting an error.  What am I not doing correctly?

    I'm having a similar issue. I imported a video from my iPhone to my iMac. The preview of the video imported is perfect. Views same as on iPhone. However, when I select the clip for a "New Project" then the video is all messed up. I'd call it a cross from squished, to cropped to enlarged. Definitely not the same as what I imported and see in the original strip in the Event Window. Weird. 

  • Distorted Audio- iMovie to Youtube Upload

    I uploaded my video from iMovie to youtube (using the following http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1696878)
    However, the audio is distorted when I try to play it on youtube (even though it is not distorted on iMovie).
    I have uploaded it a number of times, but every time the audio is distorted
    Any suggestions?

    Hey would you mind expanding on how you used/created an ACC version of your audio? Was it through an Imovie to Quicktime movie export as this link below describes? I've also copied and pasted the instructions indented in quotations. The solution provider in that forum tells how to export the movie to quicktime with special ACC etc settings and claims that it resolves the issue but my Imovie ('11,  version 9.0.9) won't go through the export...I've tried at least 5  times...it starts and says it's going to take about 30 minutes and works  for about 10, often as the clock goes up instead of counting down and  then the window disappears and nothing has been exported....  I'd love  to resolve this issue...it has only been happening to me since I figured  out how to ask the audio to duck other tracks and tweak equalizer  settings so it's gotta be something to do with the fact that either the  equalizer settings confuse youtube it the .mov format it exports in on  default settings (without the ACC tweak which I haven't found a way to  do yet)...any new guidance? Trying to get this done yesterday!! I've also sent a personal msg to the person who said they solved the issue in that forum to see if I can get any more specific guidance...seems like a signifcant amount of people have been having this issue! Heeeelp pleeeez!  http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/bs8mgyVMSEU
    "Try saving the file as a QuickTime movie on your desktop and uploading it from there. Use Share > Export using QuickTime > Movie to QuickTime Movie  > Options to get movie settings box. Use video Compression H.264 Quality medium or High and Sound AAC 44.100kHz, and I use bit rate 192kbps. That should upload from your desktop with no problems."

  • HT5899 How can I burn iPhone video to DVD to view on a TV please?

    I have an iMac Mountain lion and 4S iPhone.  I have imported my iPhone video into iMovies but am unable to burn video to a DVD that will play on a TV (it will only play on a computer). Can any one help please?

    iMovie is not DVD authoring software. You need to use a professional DVD authoring software like iDVD (Apple discarded it on new Macs in the past 2-3 years, if you dont have it, give another alternative AppGeeker DVD Creator here a whirl) to burn and create a playable DVD that can be played on an ordinary DVD player.

  • IPhone 4 video to iMovie 09 (iMac)

    I have been taking videos in my iPhone 4 and they are in format .mov. However when I transfer them to my iMac (using image capture or the iTunes) and then try to import them to iMovie09 the iMovie does not recognize the format, in other words I cannot open them in iMovie 09 for further edition. Can anybody tell how can I open those videos in iMovie? Am I doing something wrong? by the way direct transfer from the iPhone to the iMovie does not work either.
    Thanks a lot for the help, this is driving me crazy.

  • Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for  editing

    Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing
    YouTube always provides people with raw video materials on all sorts of things happened worldwide in real time. Video lovers are fond of downloading these files as private collection, even using video editors like iMovie to do further editing of their favorite ones, so as to import them to portable devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback, or upload to their own websites to share with others, or do something else as they like.
    However, not all the people have found a proper way to download YouTube videos, not to mention how to add these files to iMovie for editing. YouTube videos are in the format of FLV, which is not a workable format in iMovie, so if you want to import YouTube videos to it without trouble, you should convert FLV files to iMovie compatible formats such as MPEG-4 and MOV in advance. With the special intention of solving these two problems, this guide will show you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iMovie for editing step by step. If you are in need, just feel free to go along with it.
    Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
    This converter can process downloading and conversion simultaneously. Once you launch it, the interface below well pop up.
    Step 2: Add URL, select output format and set save path
    Press tag “Add URL” in the above interface, and then the following window will appear. Just copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video file which you want to download and convert to the text box after “URL”. Then select a supportable format for iMovie by clicking the drop-down list of “Convert To”. Here I choose MOV for example.
    Afterwards, you can insert the storage file name in the text box of “Save As”, if not, the program will generate one automatically. Here I save my file as “mycollection”. Meanwhile, you are allowed to hit “Browse” in the opposite side of “Save To” to specify the destination folder. By the way, if you want to save the original FLV files, you are allowed to tick the checkbox “Save FLV File” to achieve this goal.
    Step 3: Custom
    This program enables you to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, aspect ratio, frame rate, sample rate, and channels, so that you can change them randomly according to your own demands. Generally speaking, the options which refer to values are always in condition of the larger values, the larger file size, but better quality. Do remember click “OK” to save your custom settings.
    Step 4: Download and convert
    Once all the settings are done, you can click “OK” button to start. The following window will show you the progress of downloading and conversion.
    Step 5: Import the output MOV files to iMovie
    As soon as the YouTube video files have been downloaded and converted to MOV or other iMovie workable format, you can click “Open” at lower right corner of the above interface to find out the output files. Afterwards, launch iMovie, and click File > Import to add the output files to iMovie for editing.
    Tips:
    1. This program supports batch tasks so that you can download multiple YouTube video files in batches at a time.
    2. Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac adopts multi-threading technology, which makes its download speed is faster than any other similar YouTube downloader.
    3. Besides YouTube.com, it can also automatically detect and download online videos in the format of .flv, and f4v from many other video-sharing websites, like Yahoo Video, Myspace, Google Video, Fox and more.
    4. It also provides users with conversion function, with which you can convert any YouTube FLV/F4V files to other formats like MP4, MKA, WAV, AC3, MKV, FLV, MP3, M4A, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc. at will.
    5. If you only use it as a YouTube downloader without format conversion, you can take it as a piece of freeware.
    All right, this guide is ending up now; hope it will do you a favor while downloading video files from YouTube as well as importing them to iMovie for further editing.

    It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
    I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.
