iMovie Project from iPhone to Mac
On your iPhone, open the iMovie app and select the project you wish to export to the Mac. The Share button can be found at the bottom of the screen; tap it to reveal the Share Sheet.
We must first convert the video into a project file before we can choose the destination. On the top of the Share Sheet, tap the Options button next to the file name. You can select the video quality and how you want to share the project entirely on this page. Then tap Done and then Project.
You can now select to share the Project file using AirDrop or store it to iCloud Drive.
To open the file in iMovie on Mac, simply double-click it on your Mac.
You’ll notice that all the files and layers have been retained, and you can proceed with your project as usual.
