Tried creating a new project in the new iMovie released in 2013, and would only creat 720p videos. The only videos I have in iPhoto and in my event library are 1080p videos. Also, when I go to export, I am only able to export in 720p or smaller. Any help?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Refurbished
Are you sure ALL the clips in the project are 1080p? If there is even one that is not, it will not export at 1080p.
I am 100% positive all are 1080p. Even when I first create a project with nothing in it, it automatically sets it as 720p and I can't change it.
Are there any clips in the Event that are not 1080p?
No all I have in there are 1080p, and i've only ever had 1080p.
Click on one of your clips in the Event to select it (you see a yellow border on the clip). Go to File>Reveal in Finder. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the file and choose "Open in Quicktime." When the file opens in QuickTime, go to Window>Show Movie Inspector and take a screenshot of the inspector window and upload here.
Since I'm having the same issues, I followed as per your instructions. It does show it 1080i, but some reason won't export out the movie except in 720.
1080i is interlaced video. That's probably why you can't get a 1080p option because iMovie would have to double the horizontal resolution.
So, there's absolutely no way to make it export it in 1080 at all?
Not unless you have 1080p source video, which you don't.
Oh, poop.
What the **** ? Can you stop to say ********* ? It's a bug, a problem to fix. The problem it's not that u don't use real 1080p videos, trust me. I have the same problems and i use 1080p videos, from my Reflex or from my camera. And on the internet, it's full of users that have the same problem, like us.
And wanna know something realy funny? If you create a new project, then a new video, sometimes it works in 1080p, other times only in 720p, and it's decided random, even if u don't important anything, if u create a new video, then u click on it, you can read ' 1080 ' - ' 720 ' - 480 ' it depends by the mood of the program lol. It's such a bug, that i hope, developers will fix.
Hey i found this, i'm a genius, i know. ^^
Try in a new event to start with create a trailer ( trailers are ALWAYS avaible in 1080p )
Then, in the same event, create a new movie.
Apparently, it allows you to create a 1080p movie ^^ and u can export it in 1080p
Nice find. What happens, though, if you add 1080i footage to the project? Can you still export as 1080p? If I get time today I will try it and see what happens.
I am not very educated in the art of Computer "Resolution", But does anyone know why i cant export in
1920 x 1080P ?
I used to be able too all the time.
You can't export to 1080 because your source file isn't 1080.
Can't create or export movies in 1080p from iMovie 10.0
