vertical video on iMovie

Hi,

Here are two ways to export vertical video without the black bars on each side:

1. Place the vertical video in the timeline. Select it by clicking on it. Use the crop tool (the icon in the upper tool bar that looks like overlapping angles). Then, from the tool bar controls, rotate the vertical video sideways. Export it sideways to your desk top. Open it in QuickTimePlayer and rotate it right side up again.

2. The next way is to create a New App Preview from the file menu in the projects browser.

A screen will open that looks like a normal project screen, except that there are fewer editing options available. Put your vertical clip in the timeline. (No need to rotate it.) And then export it to your desktop. You will get a vertical video without black bars on the sides.
