How To Stretch Your Memory On Your iPhone

If you’d like to avoid the Move iPhone video to Mac.  You’ll want to change the defaults in your settings from 4k to 1080P.

To do this, go to Settings > Camera > Record Video.  The choices will be listed as follows on iOS devices with version 11.3

• 720P HD @ 30fps
• 1080P HD @ 30fps
• 1080P HD @ 60fps
• 4k @ 24fps
• 4k @ 30fps
• 4k @ 60fps

This is what is listed on my iPhone 8 Plus.  Depending on your model of iPhone, you may have more or less of these options.  My default is set at 1080p @ 30 frames per second.

What is FPS?

For those that have not delved into the video creation world, you will start seeing more references to “FPS” and of course the 720p, 1080p, 4k, 5k references.

To help you make a decision on which to choose, start by deciding where you’re going to show your video.

• Is it just on your phone or on a flat screen?
• Is the flat screen going to have 4k or 5k capability?
• Are you planning your video for social media?
• What social media outlet are you planning your video for?  YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, LinkedIn?

All these questions need to be answered for you to make the best choice when deciding which setting to choose for your default.
