Additionally, <strong>iMovie<\/strong> contains a feature that prepares your file for e-mail which helps compress it for sending: Open <strong>iMovie<\/strong> and click on the arrow in the top left of the menu bar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, does iMovie <strong>compress<\/strong> video quality? When it comes to upload video to YouTube within iMovie, the <strong>video<\/strong> quality is terrible. Beyond iMovie auto lossy compression, YouTube is also responsible for the quality decrease. It sets the compression levels and further converts your video to flash <strong>video<\/strong> format during <strong>video<\/strong> uploading.<\/p>\n<p>Also know, why do videos shrink in iMovie? The cropping problem may be happening because you have your iMovie preferences set to &#8220;Crop to Fill&#8221;. In the menu bar, click on <strong>iMovie<\/strong>\/Preferences and see what setting you have under Photo Placement. You want &#8220;Fit&#8221;, not &#8220;Crop to Fill&#8221; and not &#8220;Ken Burns&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Also the question is, can iMovie compress file size? In iMovie 10 Apple removed the capability to alter the video compression settings using Quicktime but you can still reduce the file size to ensure it is under 500 MB. &#8230; In order to reduce this to under 500 MB you need to adjust the Resolution and Quality (2).<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, can <strong>iMovie<\/strong> compress <strong>video<\/strong> on iPhone? There is no built-in iOS feature that allows you to compress a video. However, iPhone users can adjust the size of video recordings in their camera settings before recording. Using a third-party app like Video <strong>Compress<\/strong> will allow you to reduce the file size of a video after recording it.This is because of the much higher bitrate of the pro res format. So what you are doing is exporting at a much higher bitrate than the bitrate of the clip that you originally imported. Therefore much larger file size. Also, iMovie does not support 2.7k resolution, and that&#8217;s why it got reduced to 1080p.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you send an iMovie too large?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>From the Projects browser, select the iMovie project you want to send, click the More button, then choose Share Project.
