Hi Apple. I have just created a movie project in iMovie which I want to turn in to a movie file i.e. MP4 or similar so i can play on other devices. How do i do this?

Hi,


While you are still in project timeline view click on the share button in the upper right hand side of your screen. It looks like a square with a downward pointing arrow in it. A box will appear with several share options shown as icons. Click on the File icon in the box and then name your movie and set the destination as your desktop. You will see several quality, resolution, and compression options. Pick the ones that you want. All settings will share out as Mp4/AAC except Best Quality pro res that shares out as a .mov file.
