But I figured out a different way of convincing iMovie to allow me to export a 4K file.įirst, using your iPhone, record a video at 1080p or 4K, whichever is the max for your device. This problem has stymied many people, and there are numerous YouTube videos suggesting that you create a new project and drop a high-resolution photo at the beginning of the timeline to set the project to a higher resolution. The problem is that iMovie doesn’t let you set a project’s resolution manually-for that you seemingly need the $300 Final Cut Pro X-and on the Mac, it fixes the project’s resolution based on the first clip you insert.
It’s also just the principle of the thing: I put in high-resolution 4096-by-2304 video, which is what QuickTime Player captured from my 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display, and I expect to be able to export a 4K version of the file in the end. That’s not optimal for how-to videos with a lot of text, which are best viewed when zoomed to full-screen anyway. And both come with all Macs for free, so that’s where we’re starting.īut I recently stumbled across an infuriating problem: no matter what I did with my original screen recordings, I couldn’t use File > Share > File in iMovie to save a video file at a resolution higher than 720p. As far as tools go, ScreenFlow is the gold standard, but QuickTime Player can record screen actions and iMovie is a decent video editor. We’ve been trying to incorporate screencasts into more of our articles here at TidBITS-there are times when a short video conveys some point better than any number of screenshots. #1652: OS updates, DPReview shuttered, LucidLink cloud storage.#1653: Apple Music Classical review, Authory service for writers, WWDC 2023 dates announced.1654: Urgent OS security updates, upgrading to macOS 13 Ventura, using smart speakers while temporarily blind.#1655: 33 years of TidBITS, Twitter train wreck, tvOS 16.4.1, Apple Card Savings, Steve Jobs ebook.#1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in Ventura.
