iMovie 10.1 Adds 4K and 1080/60p Video Support

October 14, 2015 By Eric Reagan

iMovie 10.1

Apple has released an update for iMovie to version 10.1. The update adds support for 4K and 1080/60p video editing.

New features in iMovie 10.1 include:

  • Create and share movies at stunning 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) on compatible Mac computers
  • Create and share movies with 1080p HD video at 60 frames per second for smoother, more true-to-life action
  • Import movies and trailers from iMovie for iOS (version 2.2 and later), so you can start editing on an iOS device and finish on your Mac
  • Redesigned Media view lets you see more of your library while browsing videos and photos
  • Projects view makes it easy to find and open your movies and trailers
  • Tabs in the Browser give you faster access to titles, backgrounds, transitions, and music while editing a movie
  • Option to hide Browser while editing a movie
  • 10 additional video filters from iMovie for iOS
  • View pixel-for-pixel 4K video while editing a movie on iMac with Retina 5K display

4K video editing in iMovie comes at a cost of processor and RAM. To export a 4K video from iMovie, it requires a Mac from 2011 or later with at least 4 GB RAM. Additionally, full-resolution 4K playback is supported on iMac with Retina display and Mac Pro (2013 or later) when connected to a 4K display.

The update is available via the Mac App Store.
