Creating a vertical iMovie is easier than you may think. All you need is your iPhone or iPad, the iMovie app, and a vertical video to work with. By following a few simple steps, you can turn your horizontal video into a vertical masterpiece, perfect for sharing on social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok. Let’s dive into how you can make your iMovie vertical.<\/p>\n
Before we jump into the steps, it’s important to understand that iMovie is designed to work with horizontal videos. However, with a little creativity, we can manipulate iMovie to work with vertical videos as well. The following steps will help you achieve that.<\/p>\n
Start by opening the iMovie app and create a new project.<\/p>\n
When creating a new project in iMovie, you’ll usually pick a "Movie" from the options. This gives you a blank canvas to start editing your video.<\/p>\n
Once your project is open, import the vertical video you want to edit.<\/p>\n
Tap the "+" button to add videos from your photo library. Make sure the video you’re importing was shot in a vertical orientation to begin with.<\/p>\n
With your video on the timeline, use two fingers to rotate the video 90 degrees so it appears horizontal.<\/p>\n
This may seem counterintuitive since we want a vertical video, but rotating it will allow us to make the necessary adjustments in a later step.<\/p>\n
Export the rotated video to your photo library, then open it and rotate it back to a vertical orientation.<\/p>\n
After exporting the video, you’ll usually find it in your photo library or camera roll. From there, you can use the editing tools to rotate it back to its original vertical orientation.<\/p>\n
Finally, import the now-vertical video back into a new iMovie project.<\/p>\n
You’re essentially repeating step 2, but this time the video will be in the correct vertical orientation for sharing on platforms like Instagram stories or IGTV.<\/p>\n
After completing these steps, your video will be in a vertical format, ready for you to add any final touches or effects in iMovie before sharing it with the world.<\/p>\n
Make sure you rotate it back to the vertical orientation after the initial export and before importing it back into iMovie.<\/p>\n
Absolutely! Once your video is back in iMovie in the vertical format, you can add any effects or edits just like with any other video.<\/p>\n
If your video wasn’t shot vertically, you can still rotate it in iMovie, but it may not fill the frame as a true vertical video would.<\/p>\n
Most social media platforms support vertical videos. Simply export your finished video to your camera roll and upload it from there.<\/p>\n
Rotating the video initially allows iMovie to handle the video as if it were horizontal, which it’s designed for. Rotating it a second time ensures it’s in the vertical format for exporting and sharing.<\/p>\n
Whether you’re looking to step up your social media game or just want to experiment with a new video format, making an iMovie vertical is a simple yet effective way to get creative with your content. Remember, the key to a seamless vertical video lies in the initial orientation of your footage, so always start with a vertically shot video. Don’t be afraid to play around with different effects and editing techniques to make your vertical video stand out. With these tips and tricks under your belt, you’re ready to dive into the world of vertical video editing with iMovie. So grab your iPhone, open iMovie, and let the vertical video creation begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
