Videos can be saved in iMovie for use on your website from any Mac computer.

Below are these steps for export. Quality and Dimension settings may vary by video based upon how large you want it shown on your site. Export a few times at different quality to find the smallest file size that still has good enough quality.

Compressing video is challenging and requires a few exports to balance the quality and file size.
