What I actually wanted to know is how I convert an iMovie video to Instagram format. I know how to download it to Insta, but at present it's not highlighted for download. Thanks anyway !

What format is your movie and what format does Instagram want? Its help menu should tell you. Everything exported from iMovie is Mp4/AAC except movies exported using the Best quality (Pro Res) setting that will export a .mov format. If you have a .mov format then re-export it as an Mp4 that is almost a universaly compatible format.


Basically this is an Instagram issue, not an iMovie issue. Does Instagram’s help menu confirm that one can upload videos from a computer?
