I know I used to be able to export 1080p videos in iMovie but now it doesn't seem to give me that option. I did record 4K video and import clips into iMovie for YouTube. I was hoping to at least get 1080p when exporting. Where can I change the settings on my movie?
Thanks!

Hi,
Assuming that you are using iMovie 10.x.x, the resolution of a project is set by the resolution of the first clip put into the project, before adding any others. It has to be placed into a newly created project, not a project where previously added clips were subsequently deleted. So, if you add a known 1080p clip into your project as the first clip, that will set the project at 1080p and give you that export option.

Thanks so much Rich for the information. I used a title page as the first part of my video. Too bad there isn't a setting to change it.

the first 1080p clip you put into the timeline in order to set the project resolution to 1080p can be deleted afterwards so you can still start the 'real' movie with the title page.

Awesome, thanks so much!

iMovie only exporting 720p
