How to sharpen my blurry video footage on imove

Yesterday I re-recorded footage to edit on my iMovie. Today when I uploaded the footage, I realized the footage is blurry.


I am a YouTuber and I'm feeling a little discouraged because it is a lot of work to record myself, edit and upload my own videos.


Is there any way to sharpen the blurry footage?


Your help will be so helpful to me.


Thank you


Sincerely,


Determined

You could try reducing the resolution a bit by exporting it out of QuickTimePlayer at a lower resolution.


Or you could try changing the format by converting to Mp4/AAC with the free download Handbrake.


Also, try opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects.


Another thing to try is to put your video into a newly created project to see if that cures the problem.
