Importing and sharing

There are a few different ways to import and share your movies. Their resolution is dependent upon the method used for this.

From your iPad, import or share movies to:

• iMovie on your iPad – The resolution is preserved at 1024 x 768. You can then share to YouTube and choose a resolution.
• iPhoto or iMovie on a computer – The resolution is preserved at 1024 x 768. You can then share to YouTube and choose a resolution.
• YouTube or email directly from your Photos – The resolution is changed to 480 x 360.

Troubleshooting

When using Time-lapse, if your device enters sleep mode or you leave the app, the captured session is ended and the movie is saved. You can bring any saved captures into a movie editing package to create a movie from them.
