      I am having issues where my file is saved onto my desktop, but I am unable to transfer my project onto a flash drive. It says "This item can't be copied because there isn't enough free space."

    • @rhetta9826
      @rhetta9826 Před 6 lety

      VidProMom So saving to high mode or custom saves as MP4, and prores as .mov? MP4 reduced the origInal file size by 2/3; whereas, prores increased it by 2-3x. I was rotating video from sideways to vertical normal viewing mode. Why can't I get basically the original file size reproduced when rotating, saving and exporting with iMovie? Thanks!

    @tarabixby9064 Před 4 lety

    I could hug you right now! I have spent two hours trying to figure out why my video was downloading as an .mov and not .mp4, then you happened, and you saved me lol. I seriously searched through imovie support, apple, and google...nothing! Thank you so much for your description of best vs. high!

    @nigelcarren Před 5 lety +2

    Meredith, Meredith, dearest Meredith. Thank you so much. GREAT stuff. As a new MacBook user, I am so ashamed of still being seemingly unable to ditch my windows default mentality so for me this is a struggle, and you just held my hand and gave me a leg-up. Consider me subscribed. It is really refreshing to see a video on CZcams that just got straight down to business, which means you are now my best friend, whether you like it or not. Thank you and best wishes from an English guy in a french forest. 🏆🎯

    I'm tired of using Windows Movie Maker and decided to give iMovie a try. It's been really difficult to learn and find where things are; this video really helped, thank you!

  • @jimterrinoni6614
    @jimterrinoni6614 Před 6 lety

    I have been using iMovie for quite a while, however, I am someone who likes to take a quick review before I do something I don't want to waste time or material (discs) on. This video gave me the information (specs.) that I was looking for. Glad I found this resource. Thank you VidProMom for your time and expertise.

  • @yatirungta5454
    @yatirungta5454 Před 5 lety +1

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm use to editing in windows movie maker and I have been struggling trying to figure out how to export my videos since switching to iMovie. I must've watched at least 6 videos that didn't help me much. This is was so simple and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

  • @paulabirchler185
    @paulabirchler185 Před 7 lety +1

    Thank you. You clearly explained the saving options. We are making a relative's wedding video and want highest possible quality, but part of the footage was filmed using an iPhone and the rest filmed using a high def camcorder. On a different web site, I learned if you have part iPhone (lower quality video) and part camcorder high def video combined into one movie, whatever you put first is the highest resolution option you are offered, so trick it by putting a high resolution photo first, then choose the high def option to save it to file, and then remove the photo and save it again. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounded good for something as important as a wedding where using extra memory is preferred.

    I just started using iMovie I had a Windows laptop before where I would edit on Premiere Pro but Mac computers would need a graphic ram for the application to work. So I figured why not give iMovie a try and you were totally helpful, thanks a bunch!!

  • @lyssperspective4007
    @lyssperspective4007 Před 5 lety +1

Exporting and keeping fingers and toes crossed that the Windows person on the other end will be able to view it and show it at an awards dinner tomorrow night.

    This has been so helpful! I was in the middle of a project when the iMovie update was installed....and I was lost! I've battled with the editing, worked out what I needed to do but then what do I do? You've just solved it for me.and I'm so happy that I can now start another project at last.

    You saved me from having a stroke, thank you!
    I spent hours on my first edited iMovie video and 50-odd sites, forums and videos could not tell me how to simply save and export a finished project to my computer.
    Also, thank you for the head's up on the quality adjustment in the file export!
    iMovie is not near as intuitive to use as it should be for the uninitiated. ;)
    Thanks again!

    Thanks for the Quick video! My pc crashed... long story short having to edit on my husband's apple! The editor is a million x easier but uploading videos to his computer and then trying to figure out saving it was difficult because it is so different for me...I had to look up videos just to transfer files from my android.. was about to go cray lol. Trying to do this while my daughter is sleeping so you saved me so much time, thanks!
