Change iMovie Export Resolution and Frame Rate on iPhone or iPad

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Choose resolution and frame rate under Share Video > Options. Available choices depend on the source media and project, and 60 fps requires enough 60 fps footage.

Finish the project first

Review the edit, orientation, audio, titles, and HDR compatibility before choosing delivery settings.

Open export options

From Projects, tap Share > Share Video > Options.

Choose supported output

Select an offered resolution and frame rate; 60 fps appears only when enough project media meets Apple's requirement.

Handle HDR deliberately

Keep HDR only for compatible destinations, then export and inspect the actual file properties before publishing.

Verify the result

Inspect the exported file in Photos and its information view, confirming resolution, frame rate, HDR appearance, audio, duration, and destination compatibility.

If it does not work

  • If an option is absent, confirm source frame rate and project media. Do not transcode repeatedly or claim 60 fps when the source and project do not support it.
