iMovies Catalina I´m creating the .mov file in iMovies using the functionality of sharing file but iMovies don't let me. The iMovies just shutdown and report a problem. My IOS is Catalina because my laptop is old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) so I'm not elected to update to IOS Big Sur. Any suggestion apart from changing Mac ;)? Thanks

I have just converted a video to my mac on quicktime player. I want to use imovie to edit the movie. How do I move it from quicktime player to imovie I have just converted a video to my mac using Elgato video capture. The result is great. However , the only choice to place the file is in QuickTimePlayer. I want to file it in imovie so that I can edit the movie. Does anyone know how to move the file from Quicktime to imovie. There doesnt appear to be an option in the drop down menues.

You’re very welcome! I've used VLC for years, it's become more useful since Catalina came out.
