For instance a lot of different social networks will do that. But some places do accept vertical videos and videos of different dimensions. So playing it on a television set or uploading it to YouTube, for instance. Now as I mentioned earlier this doesn't help you if you going to be distributing your video in a place where a horizontal video is expected. So you can use Copy and Paste if you need to get to a title or background that's not available in the App Preview mode. It will paste in the title just as it was in the horizontal video. I could place the cursor where I want and Paste. for instance, I could use this title here. Because you could always go back out to Projects. So a lot of these title choices have to do with actually making app previews. There's not going to be as many title choices because I'm stuck in this App Preview theme. Now I could also add things like titles and backgrounds and transitions just like I could in a regular iMovie. The output is going to be vertical so that's what I'm going to see represented here. So cropping out the left and right sides. I can bring in some horizontal video here and it's going to clip it to make it vertical video. When I produce this I'll get vertical video. I could do all the different things that I do in iMovie. I could add in other video clips if I want. So that means I could go back in here and I could edit it. So it's actually 1080 by 1920 the original resolution of this video that I shot. 4K would actually be 2160 but it's not going to go above the maximum resolution. If I do Window, Show Movie Inspector you could see it's 1920 high. If instead I would have gone to Share, File, and then chosen 4K and exported that then I get this video here. So it's still using 1080 to represent the vertical number of lines. If I go to Window, Show Movie Inspector I can see that it's 608 by 1080. The actual size of the video is vertical. Now I have this vertical video here which is a true vertical video. So now you can see I've got my first test here which remember gives you a horizontal video with black bars on both sides. Now you can choose Resolution here and this will give you the number of vertical pixels. It still gives me this square preview here with black bars on either side. You'll see here it looks a little bit different. But if I drag that same video in here you could see the vertical video there and then I go to File, Share, File. I still see a horizontal space here because this is how I have the parts of the window broken up. I'll hit OK here and it looks like it creates a regular video project. But we can use it for regular videos as well. App Preview is something for app developers to be able to create previews for their iPhone apps, the ones that you see in the App Store when you go to look for apps and there's like a video preview of the app. If you go to the File menu you'll see New Movie and New Trailer. Remember how I clicked Create New and you saw Movie and Trailer there. So instead let's create the project in a different way. But that doesn't always work because you're going to be cutting off lots of things at the top and bottom. Now you can, if you want, click on Crop here, use Crop to Fill and select an area of this vertical video to enlarge and fill the horizontal frame and now you have horizontal video. Now if we look at this video you could see I've got a horizontal video here with the vertical video imbedded in the middle of it. If I go to Export it using File, Share, File, or any of these options you could see I get black boxes on the left and black boxes on the right and the entire video fits in the middle. I've got black bars on the left and the right. So now you could see the vertical video here in a horizontal space. If I choose Movie, as I normally would, I get a normal movie here and I can drag and drop into it some vertical video shot on the iPhone. There's actually a third option that we're going to see in a minute. If I go to create a new project you'll see there are two options, Movie and Trailer. But there is a way in iMovie to edit vertical video and produce vertical video as a result. You have to edit it in horizontal format. If you edit this video in iMovie you can't edit it in vertical format. So let's say you took some video with your iPhone but instead of holding it horizontally when you shot the video you held it vertically. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts.
