iMovie: Change film format - how it works
If you want to change the film format in iMovie, you will unfortunately have to take a small detour. We'll show you how to do it.
iMovie: Change film format with adapter
With the free software "Adapter" you can convert your film into almost any format:
- However, before you can start converting, you must first export the movie from iMovie. To do this, select the "Export movie" option under "Deploy". Name the movie and choose where to save it.
- If the desired location is not listed, click the blue arrow to the right of "Location" and navigate to the desired location.
- Choose a format. IMovie films are usually saved in MOV format.
- Now start "Adapter" and drag the finished exported film into the window.
- Select the new format from the drop-down menu above.
- To convert the film now, click on the play button at the top right with the signature "Start".
