    VidProMom So saving to high mode or custom saves as MP4, and prores as .mov? MP4 reduced the origInal file size by 2/3; whereas, prores increased it by 2-3x. I was rotating video from sideways to vertical normal viewing mode. Why can't I get basically the original file size reproduced when rotating, saving and exporting with iMovie? Thanks!

    Meredith, Meredith, dearest Meredith. Thank you so much. GREAT stuff. As a new MacBook user, I am so ashamed of still being seemingly unable to ditch my windows default mentality so for me this is a struggle, and you just held my hand and gave me a leg-up. Consider me subscribed. It is really refreshing to see a video on KZread that just got straight down to business, which means you are now my best friend, whether you like it or not. Thank you and best wishes from an English guy in a french forest. 🏆🎯

    Thank you. You clearly explained the saving options. We are making a relative's wedding video and want highest possible quality, but part of the footage was filmed using an iPhone and the rest filmed using a high def camcorder. On a different web site, I learned if you have part iPhone (lower quality video) and part camcorder high def video combined into one movie, whatever you put first is the highest resolution option you are offered, so trick it by putting a high resolution photo first, then choose the high def option to save it to file, and then remove the photo and save it again. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounded good for something as important as a wedding where using extra memory is preferred.
