Resizing pictures for iMovie for iOS

Post date: 2020-01-18 02:14:21

I have a new iPad Pro. I'm drawing pictures in various apps (mostly "Paper") and importing them to iMovie to string them together into a video. The problem is that iMovie cuts them off at the top and the bottom.

I've watched a bunch of help videos and they tell me to click on the picture in the time line and then click on the zoom hourglass icon in the top-right window and then pinch-zoom the copy of the picture up there until it fills up the screen properly. BUT in this version of iMovie for iOS there is no zoom icon. What I can do is disable the dam**d Ken Burns thing, and then zoom with my fingers, but I can't get the whole image onto the screen. I do have a workaround -- I figured out how large an image I can draw in whatever app I'm using and make sure I stay within those boundaries. But shouldn't I be able to draw a larger picture and have iMovie figure out how to fit itself into the screen?? This is annoying. I want to know what the resolution of the video in iMovie for iOS is? and -- can I change it? Can I fiddle around with any settings? Or is this limitation just a function of the toy-like iMovie app and I have to live with it?

(another issue: iMovie is not exporting to YouTube. It just -- won't. Oh well. I switched to Vimeo. But still -- why so many problems?). THANKS!!
