You can export an iMovie project in various ways to share it with others or watch it on different devices. Let me walk you through the different options available.
1. Email: iMovie allows you to export your movie directly to an email. Simply click on the “Share” button located in the top-right corner of the iMovie interface. From the dropdown menu, select “File” and then choose “Email” as the export option. iMovie will automatically open your default email client and attach the movie file to a new email. You can then enter the recipient’s email address and send it off.
2. Text Message: If you prefer to share your movie via text message, you can do so using the same export process as mentioned above. Instead of selecting “Email” as the export option, choose “Message.” iMovie will open your messaging app with the movie file attached, allowing you to select the recipient and send the text message.
3. Export to another device: If you want to watch your iMovie project on a different device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can export the movie file and transfer it manually. To do this, click on the “File” option in the iMovie menu bar and select “Share.” Choose the “File” option from the dropdown menu, and then specify the desired export settings, such as resolution and quality. select a destination folder on your computer and click on “Next” to export the movie. Once the movie file is exported, you can transfer it to your desired device using a USB cable, cloud storage, or any other preferred method.
4. Share to the web: iMovie allows you to share your movie directly to popular video sharing platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook. To do this, click on the “Share” button in iMovie and select “YouTube,” “Vimeo,” or “Facebook” from the dropdown menu. You will be prompted to sign in to your respective account and provide any additional information required by the platform. Once you’ve connected your account, you can customize the video title, description, privacy settings, and other options before sharing it online.
Remember that once you’ve shared your movie, it becomes a separate file from your original iMovie project. If you want to make any edits or changes to the movie after sharing, you’ll need to open the saved project in iMovie again, make the desired changes, and then export and share it again.
