Here is the related post written on how to smoothly import the ALEXA Mini HD/2K/4K UHD Videos to iMovie for editing without any troubles. In other words, in the following article, we are offering some good solutions to transcode the ALEXA  Mini videos to AIC MOV, which could be the best formats for iMovie. Let’s take a close look below.


Simple introduction of ALEXA Mini camera you may not know:
The ALEXA Mini is a lightweight carbon fiber cinema camera recently announced by ARRI. This camera can record 4K UHD ProRes images, facilitating real-time 4K UHD output and simple pipelines for high-resolution deliverables. What a pity it seems the output recordings cannot be suitable for iMovie directly. So if you intend to work with ALEXA Mini recordings in some hot NLEs, some third-party tools are needed there. On other words, the high definition 4K videos are not also suitable for other NLEs and media players, such as FCP XHDTVSony tablets, etc.

ARRI ALEXA Mini Features Highlights
  • 35mm format Arri ALEV III CMOS sensor
  • Maximum frame rate of up to 200 fps
  • In-camera recording to CFast 2.0 memory cards
