- I show you how to create and edit vertical video NATIVELY in iMovie using a hidden feature of the software. Using this feature, you can not only edit vertical video natively in iMovie, you can also import and convert landscape video into vertical video and edit that! You'll also see how you can add titles to your vertical videos right inside of iMovie.

FYI, App Preview currently exports at a maximum of 1080p @ 30 fps.
For anyone else wondering this, you can even remove the vertical video in the beginning and it'll preserve the frame size! So for me I just dumped in any vertical video from my phone, then removed it after I saw it had correctly setup the orientation for a vertical video and continued editing the footage I had that was landscape. Worked an absolute charm, thank you!!!
Another tip: the export method (export file) in this clip generates a low quality movie when working with HQ footage (ie 4k). choose "app preview" to get the original quality, it will generate a MP4 too.
Great tip, thanks!
Thank you!
great tip, works fine. thank you too!
Great tip! Thank you!
even export in app preview it still gives 1080 not 4K even though my original file is in 4K 60 ..... or am i missing something !! Alok
This is a game changer. The hoops I was having to jump through to edit vertical videos was about to drive me away from iMovie altogether. This workflow is already making my life easier. Thanks for sharing!
dude didnt even heart your comment
Apologies, missed this comment. 😅 Thank you for the Super Thanks! Glad you’re putting the method to good use. It’s how I make all my Shorts.
same!!! holy god what a gamechanger.
Michael, thank you! WOW! This may be just the trick to push me toward creating shorts for TH-cam. This feature is literally a game changer.
Absolutely one of the best learning clips on TH-cam. Thank you Mike, your the best ! Truly enjoy every video you produce.
Agreed!! Excellent
Thank you for all the iMovie power tips! You can also use a vertical size image instead of movie to start it off in the right shape - I have a “shorts template” image file saved to quickly drag in whenever I’m doing this.
Great tip!
So clearly explained, and very easy and enjoyable to follow. Thank you very much.
You are a wizard! And now I feel a relief that I can still use iMovie for my videos. Thank you a million times!
This was an enormous help to me as I prepared my first vertical video. There are always plenty of how-to videos to be found on online, but in my experience, few are as simple, clear, and thorough as this. Many thanks, Mike. Subscribed! Keep up the great work.
Complete game changer! Thank you! I've spent all evening trying to look at solutions to turning my landscape TH-cam clips into TikTok verticals and this worked so easy.
OMG thank you so much, I was ripping my hair out trying to get Davinci Resolve to work but now I can just use iMovie after all, so much easier. THANK YOU.
did a collaborative project for a colleague's retirement and forgot to tell people to film in landscape so I ended up with a bunch of vertical clips. At first I thought I would have to go back and re-film so this was a time saving miracle, thank you!!
Dude, you. are. aweosme. Your presentation, your step by step guiding. You are a master at this. Love it.

You are brilliant! Thank you for making this video and all your videos! 👍🏻
this was so helpful, so great, definitely keeps me from downloading a bunch of different apps just to edit videos, thank you!
Excellent instruction. Thank you!
THANK YOU! As a photographer (definitely not a videographer), I've been incredibly frustrated by the way Instagram now gives preference to reels almost exclusively. Engagement for still photos has fallen off a cliff-bad news for a professional photographer like me. The Ken Burns effect is great for showcasing still photos, and no other amateur video editor I've found does the Ken Burns effect as easily as iMovie-but I've been stuck trying to make vertical reels using the old-school horizontal format. Not ideal, to say the least. This tutorial is a huge, huge help. Thank you!
Thanks for this! Answered my question so well!
thank you so much!! Exactly what I was looking for 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much! I spent 3 days trying to make my already vertical canva poster into a vertical video and you just explained it in 6 minutes!
Great video! Thanks for the help Mike
Thank you, thank you!! So needed this.
You saved me SO MUCH TIME and frustration. Thank you so much!!!
