imove to mp4

Hi all, can you please help m. I would like to share my imovies .mov on gopro plus to stream to my faimily.

gopro will only accept .mp4 files rather than .mov files.

Is there some way i can change the format when saving the movie clip or do i need to convert it?

if i need to convert it, what app would i get.


Thanks very much, good luck

Paul

Gently click the file name and it will turn blue. Delete the .mov


Type in .mp4 and and click outside the file. A window will open asking if you want to change it.


Hold on! Why are you getting .mov files?


Are you exporting from iMovie using the "Best" setting?


Do not use Best for anything you want to watch on a TV, Computer or tablet.


You should be using Low, Medium or High.


Best is not for viewing or delivery purposes . . . it is just for saving a high quality file if you want to re-edit it at a later date.


Do not use Best for anything you want to watch on TV, computer or tablet.
