Hey there, fellow content creators! Are you struggling to find your way around fitting your iMovie project into a specific aspect ratio? You’re in the right place.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through how to change the aspect ratio of your iMovie project to help you achieve the look and feel you’re going for.
Whether you’re creating content for social media or working on a film project, getting your aspect ratio right is an important aspect of video editing. So, let’s dive in and explore how you can adjust your aspect ratio in iMovie!
