Problem with Imovie and 1080 p files

Hy to everyone ,


In Imovie on M1 Mbp, I don't get the option to export video in 1080p but only up to 720p. The video was recorded on the Xbox Series X via USB stick. In the console settings, the video is correctly recorded in 4K! How can I fix it? Thank you

iMovie sets the project resolution as that of the very first video clip added to a newly created project. So, create a new project, add your 1080p clip as the first clip placed into the project, and then you will get a 1080p export option. Actually, if it is a 4k clip, you should also get a 4k option.
