Even in FCP it does not seem possible to write text on its side. If you only need text on stills you could add this in a still editor before importing into iMovie. Of course, unless you want to add text on video it might be simpler just to create your movie in landscape mode with everything on its side then rotoate and save the exported video. I added text and some simple transitions and they all worked fine. This part of the exported file now fills the portrait frame fully. This integrated editing option comes in handy if you need to immediately convert a video recorded in portrait mode to. I then added to the timeline the same clip after rotating and saving in Quicktime Player 10. It exported fine and plays in potrait in Quicktime Player, although the video has a large black border.ĭropping it into VideoSpec it confirms the video is 1080*1960 with a display aspect ratio of 0.551: I rotated it by 90 degrees in FCP and added a couple of rotated still shots. Import a Video to iMovie on iPhone Step 2: Enable Crop to change aspect ratio in iMovie iOS.

Then tap Create Movie to import video from iPhone to iOS iMovie. Fire up iMovie on your iPhone, click Projects > + Create Project > choose Movie in the New Project window. Liking a challenge, I put a 1080p video clip into the new project that I had inadvertently recorded holding the camera in portrait mode. Step 1: Load video to iMovie on iPhone or iPad.
