If you’re a Mac user, then you probably already know about iMovie. It’s a free video editing app that makes it easy to create great looking movies. However, you may not be sure how to save a movie in iMovie. Luckily, this tutorial will explain the various ways you can save your iMovie creations.
Saving a iMovie project can be as simple or complex as you make it. The steps required to save a iMovie are actually quite short and shouldn’t require much time. Once you have your completed movie, you can share it with others or upload it to the web. You can also send it to other people via email, or add it to your Facebook or Twitter feeds. Of course, your iMovie can be saved to your Mac or desktop, or even to a removable drive, which will allow it to be accessed on different computers.
The trick to saving a iMovie project is to find the right option for your needs. Depending on your requirements, you might want to create a 720p HD movie for sharing online. This will produce a file that’s smaller, but is faster to upload than higher resolutions. On the other hand, if you plan on storing the finished project, you can opt for a 1080p HD movie.
In addition to importing images into iMovie, you can also use the program to record your own voiceovers. iMovie also allows you to add background music, transitions, subtitles, and other elements to your video. These options can be selected, and the results can be dragged and dropped to your timeline. When you’re ready to share your work, you can do so through the File menu, or by clicking on the Save button in the lower right corner of the screen.
One of the most basic things to do in iMovie is to share your creation. Using the “Share” button, you can save a copy of your movie to your Mac or PC, or you can share it to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or any number of other social networks. Also, you can add it to your photo library or iCloud Drive.
Another fun thing to do with iMovie is to share your movie with friends and family. A few different methods of sharing are available, but the most convenient will require that you set up a shared account. For example, you can upload your iMovie to iCloud, then email a link to your friends. Alternatively, you can send a link to your movie to everyone on your Facebook friends list.
iMovie’s “Share” button has many more features than just sharing your work. For example, you can start a new project, create a trailer, or start a freeform movie. Additionally, you can save your work, share your work, and even export your video in a variety of formats.
iMovie’s export option is one of the most useful features, especially if you’re planning to re-upload the movie. It enables you to save a copy of your video as a QuickTime or MP4 file. During the process, you’ll be prompted to set the desired bit rate and resolution.
