  • I show you how to create and edit vertical video NATIVELY in iMovie using a hidden feature of the software. Using this feature, you can not only edit vertical video natively in iMovie, you can also import and convert landscape video into vertical video and edit that! You'll also see how you can add titles to your vertical videos right inside of iMovie.

    FYI, App Preview currently exports at a maximum of 1080p @ 30 fps.

  • @jgugelot
    @jgugelot 11 месяцев назад +91

    Another tip: the export method (export file) in this clip generates a low quality movie when working with HQ footage (ie 4k). choose "app preview" to get the original quality, it will generate a MP4 too.

    Thank you for all the iMovie power tips! You can also use a vertical size image instead of movie to start it off in the right shape - I have a “shorts template” image file saved to quickly drag in whenever I’m doing this.

    @ChrisCapulet 2 месяца назад +2

    For anyone else wondering this, you can even remove the vertical video in the beginning and it'll preserve the frame size! So for me I just dumped in any vertical video from my phone, then removed it after I saw it had correctly setup the orientation for a vertical video and continued editing the footage I had that was landscape. Worked an absolute charm, thank you!!!

    THANK YOU! As a photographer (definitely not a videographer), I've been incredibly frustrated by the way Instagram now gives preference to reels almost exclusively. Engagement for still photos has fallen off a cliff-bad news for a professional photographer like me. The Ken Burns effect is great for showcasing still photos, and no other amateur video editor I've found does the Ken Burns effect as easily as iMovie-but I've been stuck trying to make vertical reels using the old-school horizontal format. Not ideal, to say the least. This tutorial is a huge, huge help. Thank you!
