I can't find any information anywhere about the maximum resolution and maximum frame rates iMovie 10.0.7 is able to Share/Export video at?
Does anyone know?
I imagine the maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080, and the maximum frame rate is 30 fps.

I can confirm that you can import 50 fps (and I assume also 60fps) clips and if you use them for slow motion every frame is used. However the maximum frame rate of a shared project appears to be 30 fps.
4k clips can be imported but the maximum resolution of edited video that can be exported is 1920 x 1080. (Apparently you can export 4k from a clip in an event but you can't edit it in a project - so that's not of much use see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9kY9J0w6Es).
Geoff.
Yeah, I put Transitions in the project.
From the tests I've just done, the output is always 30 fps (even with no Transitions and in ProRes quality).
HERE IS THE FINAL ANSWER! YES IT DOES as of Oct 13 th update, imovie does 60fps and 4k.
I've updated to iMovie 10.1 and imported some motorbike footage at 1080p 50fps. Put it in iMovie then exported it. Exported as 29.97fps.
I've tested a few export options and all export at 29.97fps, not 50 not 25. Its frustrating. Youtube has two bitrates 8Mbps for 24, 24 and 30 fps and 12Mbps for 48, 50 and 60 fps.
Currently my youtube videos look horrible so I'm trying to export at the higher frame rate to see if that makes a difference.
FWIW, when I made a project based on 720p 240fps video, iMovie (10.1) would only allow exporting at 30fps. However, "seeding" a new project by first importing a short 1080p60 clip, then copy/pasting my other project in, and finally deleting that seed clip, allowed me to export at 60fps.
Can iMovie 10.0.7 Share/Export at 4K or 50/60fps?
