iMovie does not let me export to 1080p even though I recorded in 1080p 60fps why?

Hi,

Try closing iMovie and then opening it while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Then see if you can share out at 1080p 60fps. Sometimes that cures export problems.

Also, in order to get a 1080p 60fps share option it is the project, not the clip, that needs to be set at 1080p 60 fps. Click on the settings button on the right of your screen just above the time line. See what setting is applied to your project. If it's not 1080p 60 fps then create a new project and insert a known 1080p 60 fps as the first clip that is placed into the project. That will set it at 1080p 60 fps and should give you that share option. Even if your original project had already been set at 1080p 60 fps, try creating a new project and sharing from there, as sometimes problems can be confined to one individual problem.
