Reduce video size on imovie

How do you reduce vidio size on imovie ?

Do you mean the size of a shared video file? You have to choose lower resolution or quality. What version of iMovie are you using?

Reduce file size in imovie

Hey, I'm wondering how I can reduce the file size in movie without losing the quality.
I have a 1280x720 video that's at 900mb right now, but I'm trying to get it down to 400mb.
I got it down using the Export using Quicktime >> played with settings but every setting, the video comes back with horrible quality.
Is there another way to do this?

Use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and use the pre-sets.

Video size in iMovie

Hello,
I am importing movies to iMovie and for some reason the size of the movie is six times bigger.
For example: I have a 12MB movie and after I import it and select "Reveal in Finder",
I see that the same movie is now 77MB. Why does it happen?
I select the large and not the full size.
The movie in the example is HD so its resolution is even better than the "large".
I can't understand why it make it 6 times bigger.
Is there anything I can do to change that?
Thank you

The likely answer is that your camera is recording your footage using a compression codec which uses inter-frame compression where any given frame of video may be dependent on other frames.
In order to be able to remove or reorder any frame you want when editing in iMovie the compressed file first needs to unpacked and each frame compressed separately. This accounts for the larger file size you're seeing on import.

Can I reduce video noise in iMovie 11 (a.k.a. random pixels)?

My video has a bunch of random pixels, and can I get rid of them using iMovie or other free software!

In Final Cut Pro X, you can do this automatically through the multicam feature. You can also adjust the audio to the 1/100 of a frame.
In iMovie, you should turn on the wave forms of both the movie track and the Zoom track. You should be able to visually see the spike of the clapper sound. You can manually drag the audio track so it lines up with the video track. In iMovie, you can adjust to the nearest frame (not 1/100 of a frame).

Hi HealingWillow,
Please also contact your mobile carrier provider for more help. It looks like there are a few methods to send a video on that phone. (limited to 300mb)

Can I reduce video file size on iPad?

Is there an iOS app - iMovie for instance - that will allow me to reduce video file size on my iPad, without having to use a computer?

There are various Apps in the App Store that will compress a video file, try search on Video Slimmer or Video Compression. Another option is to use a different App for recording the video in the first place; I use MoviePro quite extensively, it allows 5 different presets for resolution, bit rate etc. for recording video.

How do you reduce a movie size in iMovie 10 to upload to youtube?

how do you reduce a movie size in iMovie 10 to upload to youtube?

Go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save.
Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.
This was always the way I did it in the previous version of iMovie. Works just fine.

IMovie changes video size when importing its own exported projects

How can I control aspect ratio on imports - or simply get iMovie to import .mov files at their current and correct aspect ratio and size, as settings indicate? iMovie is messing with them.
I'm re-importing a lot of finished, exported iMovie files because a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of the original projects. As I'm doing this, I notice that these same Quicktime .mov files created by iMovie get squashed and stretched when imported as new events. Despite the fact that I'm using the setting "Full - Original Size."
When I import using the setting "Large - 960 x 540" the aspect ratio is correct, but the frames are reduced in size.
When I import the same videos by first putting them in iPhoto, and then accessing them through "iPhoto Videos" they are perfectly copied, with correct aspect ratio. But I don't want to have to keep taking this extra step.
Thank you!

stage6 files use DivX for encoding.. a HighQuality produced iMovie project could look as good as the stuff there.. allthough, many 'videos' I've seen there are NOT done with a 200$-cheapo-consumer cam.. you can teach Quicktime, and therefore iM to export with that codec... install divx-plug-ins..
to edit natively non-dv-streams, only alternatives are FCpro (=$$$$) or QTpro (=less convenient).. plus a few 'exotic' apps, as the free Mpeg Streamclip, which allows some 'raw' editing of mpegs etc. ...-
but..
if your input is from camcorders, the 'raw' footage is interlaced and low-res, compared to what you see normally on a computer's screen..
if your input is e.g. computer generated (CGI), use for export Apple Intermediate Codec, which is the HiDef codec of iMHD6 .. and probably, use a setting of a higher res, as 1080..
if your input is screengrabs, they don't match the TV-resolutions, iM offers, nor do they match the framerates...
so, what source, what delivery...?

Reducing video file size?

How do I reduce file size of videos, made on imac or camera import? They
are too large for emailing, and uploading to utube is too slow.

YouTube can be kinda slow. Were you trying to use Share > YouTube from inside iMovie? I don't use Share>YouTube to upload it to their website because I've had it freeze up or take extra long to finish.
Instead I save the video project out to the desktop. Use Share > Export Movie... Then choose Medium or Large, and let it roll until it's done. Then open the YouTube website and upload it through their webpage directly. That's going to be quicker than trying to do the same thing from iMovie. And you don't have to try and jam it through an email system either.

How do I reduce the size of a you tube video for a cell phone?

I have a 640X360 youtube video on my site, https://www.oldeworldelace.com/Custmers-lace-panels.html, which works just fine on a PC and Tablet but does not reduce in size for use on a cell phone like jpgs and fonts do. Is there any way to work this out so that the video fits the cell phone screen? Thanks in advance

Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

How do i reduce the size of my Giant library file?

My laptop is running out of room. I have only 80gigs left (11% of the HD) and it is causing issues with the system. I am assuming the virtual memory is unable to run properly as there isn't enough HD space for it. So i have been trying to clean out my large number of video files (I make a lot of movies in iMovie). I have deleted a lot of files so far, but so far that has only freed up 12gigs.
Inoticed the "Library.imovielibrary" file is 322 gigs. I tried deleting some of the projects in there, but the file has not changed size. How do i reduce its size?

Have you as well deleted them in the basket in iMovie and then as well on the basket in the dock ??

FCP 6.0.5 Extremely large exported DV movies? Need to reduce output size

I am working in DV, I have noticed on my latest 2 project, huge exported DV video files. The first was about 15 minutes and the video file was about 23 GB, the latest is about 28 minutes and the exported DV video file is 40.88 GB.
I understand that when I export to Quicktime movie, that I need to use the export codec native to my sequence setting, it order to maintain quality. What are my options to reduce file size? Can I change the sequence settings to Apple Intermediate or Animation to reduce file size? The most important thing, I do not want any loss in quality, of what I would obtain from the native DV file.
Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post
Thank You in advance for taking the time to read and reply to my Post.
Sebastian

The reason why I am posting my question, is I understand an hour of DV video is a 14GB file, this is why I am unclear why my video files are so large. It makes no sense to me. Why are my files not adhering to the 14GB per hour of DV rule?
What are my option for reducing this enormous file sizes?

Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube. I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube. There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove. I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video. Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720. I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock. I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length. I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size! iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media. Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.
