How to download a iMovie after you deleted the footage from your phone?

I deleted the video I used in the iMovie from my phone entirely because I needed to free up space and now I can’t download the iMovie because it says that it’s unavailable. Please help.

When you remove the clips from the system you gut the project, so there is nothing to export. Unfortunately you would need to reimport the clips and start over.


However, you might try posting your question on the iPhone forum and see if the folks there have a solution. iMovie for iPhone is a different app than iMovie for Mac.
