Can I open and edit project (using finalcut pro) that was completed with iMovie that has been finalized.
I like to go back to finished iMovie project to add more titles or remove some frames.
imovie can not open or edit a project that is already finalized.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
A finalized (exported out) project is a standalone movie. All clips have been joined and all edits have been embedded. In iMovie you can create a new project and import into it the previously exported movie. It will come in as one long clip. You can then edit it to a limited extent, such as splitting the clip into segments, adding effects, adding titles, adding more clips, deleting segments or parts of segments, and cropping segments. However, you cannot un-embed edits that were previously done in the original project unless you can cut them out (such as deleting a title that is on a black background), or trim them out.
If the original project is still operable, you can re-edit it and share it out again. However, this would not be possible if the source files have been deleted from the iMovie library.
