Thank you so much! I've been trying to upload a video from my iPad to KZbin for almost a week now and couldn't figure it out to save my life! I didn't realize that it saves it to photos.

Hi Meredith, Thanks for sharing. I have been video recording sermons in the church that I am presently a member. and I have been posting it on social media directly from my phone. Problems I have is too long, unacceptable length and footage Thank you for your videos. I'm a slow learner but it helps me learn how to edit, trim unwanted footage before posting it. But I need to get better.

I don’t have 1080p on IPhone idk why it’s not showing up highest res is 720p

[@ThisorThatFitness]

This was extremely helpful, thank you! question: I've been exporting in high quality, since our video has a lot of movement. But, am I hearing, I would be fine with medium quality, when exporting? Want to make sure people with big TVs have a good experience watching our vides too..thanks!

[@meredithmarsh]

Try it and see if you're happy with medium quality!

[@bonnietracewell7742]

Thank you so much. You are very good at explaining. I’m making a film for my husbands eulogy and I have been struggling to get this movie right. Question ~ I can’t get the thumb nail the right size, when I pinch it goes back to large. Do you have a video for that issue?

[@AmusingMichele]

you're awesome. You helped me with videos on the computer. What about a 10 hr video that's saved on my iPhone. How do I add that to KZbin?

[@MoonSpeaksTV]

iMovie just updated and unfortunately it's no longer giving me the option to choose export quality. I usually shoot in 4K and then export in 1080p. I hope they bring it back in the future.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hi Moon, on my iPad the resolution option has moved. After you tap on export, look at the top of the export drop down box and there is a small blue “options” Tap on that and your resolution options are there although you have probably found it by now. Cheers.

[@dsb2375]

Working from iPad, when I save my .mov file outside of the iMovie folder, I’m losing L/R stereo separation. The same happens when I pull files into KZbin using ‘SELECT FILE’ and grabbing the file from my iMovie folder. When I open the file directly from the iMovie folder it opens as an iMovie ‘project’ and the stereo separation is still there. How do I retain stereo sound in the saved or exported?

The time stamps arrow thing in the beginning was the most clever thing I’ve ever seen in editing 😭💗

Since then, following exactly the same process, it imports the video but with no soud!! I've tried everything i can think of to rectify, but I can only assume something changed when I updated. Any help or suggestions please????

@@anayanez1531 I'm not 100% sure but I don't think iMovie is designed for long videos so I would try final cut pro and even cap cut might be able to export longer videos :) Hope you find a solution!
