How to control iMovie frame rate: 24, 25, 30, 60 FPS

Very interesting Kurt!
Would you mind sharing the project settings shortcut you used if you have time? Thank you for all the helpful info you make for us. You teach me new things every time!

Thank you for these useful informations .. i like your videos .. Talal from Syria

No... Your instruction on selecting a range by press and hold "R" key doesn't work.

How do I change the frame rate because I have only images but it keeps saying it's in 60fps.

Thank you Kurt Pancake

I have 60fps clips. After editing those in imovie, some clips are chopping. It looks like clips are missing some frames. What to do ?

Hi Kurt, this is fantastic. I have been a life long stills photographer but have been bitterly disappointed at times with my GoPro footage and feel that it was because I mistook frame rate for meaning shutter speed but now understand the difference. You are the only one to show me how to deal with my clips here in iMovie and explain how the program really works with respect to these issues. Thanks again. Craig, Sydney, Australia.

Hi Kurt, I wanna ask something.. I have 60fps video (according from information on QuickTime player movie inspector) but when I drag that video on iMovie, it automatically drops in to 30fps.. is the information on QuickTime player movie inspector wasn't always accurate?

Thank you. I was hoping I could do 24 FPS.

Yup gottah hunt around

Thank you for the info!!

Thanks for the useful video :)
One question, what if I put a 24fps video first to the timeline and then I add some 60fps videos, some of the 60fps videos I want to use for slow motion. Will the rest of the 60fps videos run in real time on the 24fps timeline?

I have videos (actually files of movies and recordings of vhs and tv) that are under 24fps and I am trying to convert them to a smoother frame rate of at least 26 or 30 fps. I read that iMovie is capable of doing this. Is this possible? Or am I looking at a wrong way of means of doing so? Thank you

Excellent moustache

this was so useful. so so freaking useful. quality information.

Thanks so much for this video!

One thing I can't figure out - I have clips recorded at 4k60... but I can't get iMovie to export this as 60 fps. It'll only export at 30 fps. Any ideas?

👍would you like to watch an awesome Flipbook Animation. ? 😍 🥰 😘

slow train... i waited, and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited, before getting to the point

Hi kurt cool vid as all are.
If I want to have a movie in say 25 fps (as I’m the uk, if it makes a difference) but I also record some clips in 60 fps to slow down to add effect do you know how I work out what the percentage would be to get them to 25fps. Regards

Or if anyone else can help

Amazing info thank you

Thank you soooooooo much!!!! I'm thinking of dial back from Final Cut Pro to iMovie, and this really helped me A LOT!

So you're saying that if the first video I import is 120FPS it will make the exported file 120FPS. I don't think this is the case as all my videos are 120FPS and it seems to compress to 60FPS. It just import the videos as ½ speed. Very upsetting as it's so much easier than other video editor and I only use for family video. Any suggestions on how to use 120FPS native? Babies move quickly and I need the 120 FPS for video stabilizer or else I get bad quality. Filmed in HD. I have 4k but only at 30 FPS. Please advise.
