I have found that if I use some third party converter program to go from the avchd format to MP4, then I get good quality when I bring it into iMovie. By optimizing, I mean the quality is seriously degraded. Second question: it seems that iMovie is "optimizing" my 1080p60 footage when it imports it. If I'm recording in 1080p60, what would you recommend for settings to accomplish this? In the end, my goal is to get the best quality DVD out of my mac using iMovie 11 and iDVD, but I'm getting confused about the best way to do this (progressive vs interlaced?). I just bought a new camcorder and have been recording in 1080p60. Thanks very very much if you can provide any guidance. I'm not expecting 100% fool-proof results, but I'd like to improve the present 50% I'm getting.įYI - Also when I try to burn to a disc image, Toast11 always hangs at 99% burn.Īnd is there any blu-ray player out there that is the most reliable when it comes to playing these different h.264 files? I am using Toast11 on my MacPro OSX10.6.8 with iMovie11 to burn these files to an LG blu-ray burner. I can't make heads or tails why sometimes a file plays and other times not. One video file I exported both as mov and m4v. Sometimes these same encodings do not play. Sometimes mp4, m4v, mov, and QT play on my PS3. I have a PS3 and Sony BDP S1000 ( both play and /or reject the same files burned to my blu-ray disks). What would be your 'best-guess' export options when burning to a blu-ray disk to be played on a PS3 or blu-ray player? Thank you for your helpful instructions Gary. They're both video tours of a house in Colchester, IL. You can find these videos at the "realtornickcurtis" YouTube channel. My original export (before uploading to YouTube) looks fine, so I'm not sure where the problem is occurring. I've tried watching the YouTube video from other computers, all with the same results. The weird thing is that the video looks fine - without this problem - when I use Safari to view it on YouTube. It's really annoying, and no matter what export settings I use in iMovie, I can't get rid of it. ![]() I've edited a couple videos in iMovie '09 and uploaded them to YouTube, and I've found that when I watch them in Internet Explorer or Firefox, there's an annoying horizontal wobble/pixelation that travels down the screen (top to bottom) about every 10 seconds or so. I'm a new iMovie user, so I need all the help I can get!Īre there any export settings that cause YouTube videos to display better/worse, depending on the browser? As for going to iDVD, I've heard of lots of reports that this quick function would just take the video from iDVD. You get a lot more control when you actually login to YouTube and actually go to your channel go to the upload page and upload from there. But otherwise I really recommend going to Export Movie or Export Using Quicktime below, and exporting the movie exactly where you want it, and then manually uploading it to YouTube of MobileMe using the regular interface specially for YouTube. If you wanted just to post a casual video to YouTube just something very quick or something very quick to MobileMe Gallery, it's just important maybe to share with some friends then these could be good options specially if you do this a lot. Now I don't actually recommend using most of these options. If we select iTunes we can see we are given some standard options here, we're gonna see this repeated a lot in some of this menus here. The first part of this menu here gives you some very quick options like sharing directly to iTunes, to iDVD, the Media Browser which is a shared library between programs like iDVD, garage band and other things and right up to YouTube and right up to MobileMe Gallery. So you can find all your export options under share in iMovie and there are a ton of them. ![]() So instead of addressing it from that viewpoint, let just look at all the different options and talk about them. It all depends on what you plan on using the video for, what the original quality of the video was, where you end up putting the video, all sorts of different things. So I often get asked, what are the best settings for me to export my video from iMovie. Today's episode, let's look at iMovie export options. Video Transcript: Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now.
