I have a 10 second video I want to post on facebook. It won't accept the iMOV Format and prefers mp4. I know this is a simple change but I can't remember how to do it! Help, please.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 27 inch, Mid2011, 2.7 Ghz Intel Cor
Try just changing the extension from .mov to .mp4 and first see it will play in Quicktime Player. Then try to upload to Facebook and play there.
Thank you OT. The clip accepted the extension change, but when opened in quicktime is a totally black screen, although I think the video is there? Any other suggestions?
You might try the free version of iFFmpeg to covert the .mov file to another format what FB will accept.
Otherwise you'll have to ask Facebook support as I don't do FB.
Which iMovie version are you using? I don't do FB, so I can't test, but on my iMovie 9.08 version, there is a direct link to share to FB. Am not on my Yosemite/iMovie 10 machine right now to check those settings.
Thanks Babowa. Feel rather foolish! I had the clip in iPhoto and had exported it to go into Facebook. You were right, in iPhoto there is a SHARE tab and under that Facebook. Thank you so much.
Glad you found it - and I assumed you were using iMovie; did not know you were in iPhoto, so you should have marked your own answer!
