Ok so I get a lot of questions on how to export video for website streaming. The idea behind this is to create a file size that’s reasonable for download and loads fast. What I will teach you in the next few steps is how to create a great export for your online videos that will load fast and efficiently. Enjoy!

1) Open your iMovie project.

2) Assuming your video your editing is complete you can follow the next few steps. If you are not done then I recommend coming back to this tutorial after you finish cutting the video.

3) Now go up to the menu bar of iMovie and press Share>Export Using Quicktime.

4) This window that appears is where you choose the location of the export and the settings. Once you choose where to export it try not to forget it. I like to export to the desktop for easy finding.

5) Now press the options button towards the bottom right of the popup export window. This is where you edit the movie settings.

6) Click here to see what your settings should look like. The most import thing to remember is what lies in the settings button. When you press it you will get a new popup. Click here to see what you should have.

7) We are done now. YAY! All you have to do is click ok to seal the settings in and then click ok again for the next window. Press save and it will do it’s compression of the video and save it to the location you chose in the beginning.

8) The video should be ready for your website.
