iMovie for iOS: Why are videos shared through the Camera Roll lower resolution?

Summary

You can share your finished iMovie for iOS video from the Camera Roll via email, MMS, to YouTube, and to a MobileMe gallery. 

Products Affected

iMovie for iOS, iMovie for iPhone 4

When sharing your finished iMovie video via email or MMS (iPhone 4 only), the Camera Roll scales the video to 568x320 resolution in order to improve upload performance. If you exported your movie from iMovie at HD resolution, when sharing to YouTube or to a MobileMe gallery, you can select whether to share a standard definition or HD version of the video. Regardless of how you share your finished movie, the original full-resolution version remains in the Camera Roll, and you can transfer this version back to your computer when you connect your device. To do this, follow the guidelines in Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.
