iMovie will not copy to Flash Drive (Fat32)

I’m using Big Sur on my MacBook Pro. I made an iMovie, but it will not copy onto my Flash Drive that is Fat32 format. I keep getting an error message saying it would not export, but no other explanation is given. My iMovie file is 7.42 gigs and I’ve used a 16 gig and 64 gig flash drive, both with the same results. I’m stuck and can use some guidance! Thanks,

MacBook Pro

FAT32 has a maximum file size limit of 4 GB. Reformat the drive as exFAT.

Thank you very much. I suspected it was a format issue, but wasn’t sure how to proceed. Have a great weekend.
