the castle. The branches create a frame for

the building and add foreground interest.

Go 4K

Go to your iPhone’s Settings app and tap

on ‘Camera’. Tap ‘RecordVideo’. Choose

one of the 4K options, like 4K at 25 fps. This

gives you 25 still frames per second.

Import assets

In Projects, click ‘+ Create New’.

Choose ‘Movie’. This takes you to My Media.

Click ‘Import Media’, browse to our supplied

‘4K Clip.mov’, and click ‘Import Selected’.

Check size

Drag the clip into the timeline. By default,

the project’s resolution is defined by the first

clip you add to the timeline. Click ‘Settings’.

Here, you’ll see that the setting is indeed 4K.

Export a still

Now that the chosen frame is looking

its best, go to File>Share>Image. Label the

image ‘Train Still’. It will automatically be

saved in a shareable JPEG image format.

Add a still

Import our suppliedphoto,‘Castle.jpg’.

Drag it to the timeline. iMovie adds a zoom

to the still image to make it more interesting

to look at. You can modify the motion.

Modify motion

Click the Cropping icon above the

viewer. Click the Ken Burns button. Re-size

and re-frame the End window so the camera
