How to maintain screen record quality while importing in iMovie?

I have recorded couple of minutes of video, using my mbp and its built-in screen recorder. These videos look absolutely fine when opened in any media player. However, when I add these videos in iMovie, the quality is drastically reduced(resolution is so much reduced that words are barely readable). How can I avoid this problem?


PS: Sry btw, I did not found a better topic which matches my question.

Hello, ArmanJoon.


After you have recorded your screen with QuickTime, you should select from the menu bar File > Export As...

Then select a resolution to be used for the export.

Finally, import that file into iMovie and see if that doesn't provide you the resolution and clarity you expect.

note- this works best with full-screen recordings. If you record just a small part of the screen, then the resolution choices may be limited.
