iMovie FPS solution?

I am currently working on an iMovie project that has both 60 fps and 30 fps content. The unfortunate thing is that iMovie will only let me export at 30 fps, instead of having 60 fps. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Thanks.

Hi,


Set your project at 60 fps and then share out (export). iMovie sets the frame rate at the frame rate of the very first clip that is added to a newly created project. However, as QuickTimeKirk says, going from 30 to 60 will result in stuttery footage for the 30. Going from 60 to 30 will slow motion the 60.


Here's a link to the online Help menu that explains frame rates and how to change them:
