iMovie Outputs Hello, I'm making videos for IG posts and IG stories using iMovie. Shorter videos fit the Instagram 1:1 square requirements but longer videos (over 15 seconds) do not. I've read that there is no way to change the aspect ratio at all with iMovie. Does iMovie automatically assign the ratio/size?

Don't have aspect ratio option to generate edited video in (3:4) or (9:16) from iMovie Hi, In iMovie I have edited a Video of 1080*1920 of (9:16) aspect ratio. And when I try to generate new video I don't have option to choose aspect ratio. Instead by default it is exporting (16:9) aspect ratio. Am I missing any option to set this Aspect ratio. thanks, Venkat.

You can select the image or video clip in the Library media browser, and crop it to a square there. Take a look at my posts in this thread:
