How to export an iMovie to my iPhone for Instagram?

I exported a slideshow (movie) I created to my computer. I need to post it on Instagram for work, however the sound is extracted every time I try to post it. When I send it to my phone the quality isn't as good (it's fuzzy) and the sound isn't there either.

Can someone please explain how to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi,


You may need to re-encode the clip.


Try converting your troublesome clip to H.264, Mp4/AAC with the free download, Handbrake. Do that even if the codec already is indicated to be Mp4/AAC. Re-rendering often cures issues.


You can get Handbrake here:


https://handbrake.fr/


A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to

complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie.
