how to import movies from iMovies to memory card

Well, if you mean transfer movies from the iMovie events folder, go to that folder as in Finder-movies-imovie events, and drag a copy to your card.

Or, you could finish making the movie, and drag the .mov file from your desktop or wherever you have it.

I am trying to copy the movies that I purchased from the "My Movies" folder onto a SD card. They seem to copy but when I try to play them (fm sd card), the frames just freeze, this is on my computer. I also try to play them on my t.v. Using a digital media player, all I get is a error that it can't be played. I have copied the file by Right clicking and selecting "Show in Windows Explorer" and by dragging it from the iTunes folder and dropping it into my drive with the sd card. Do you know what I'm doing wrong or what the issue is?

It sounds like a file format incompatibility issue.

1. What format is your SD card formatted for?

2. What file format is the movie you have in this 'My Movie" folder? I"m not familiar with making My Movie purchases. Totally could exist, just not familiar with it.

If you have a project in iMovie you have worked on, then want that on the SD card. Here's what I'd do (basically what Hughmass was eluding to.)

1. in iMovie, click the File option in your Menu Bar at the top of your screen. In that drop down menu is "Share>File." Click on that to "export" the iMovie project. Save it to your Desktop. I believe by default it renders the saved file as an .mp4 file (someone correct my if I'm wrong).

Once on your desktop, you can then save a copy to your SD card. Start here first, because you may be contacting back about:

1. What format your SD card is and how it plays a role with the data you put on it.

2. What you're putting your SD card into that playing your iMovie project ("I have copied the file by Right clicking and selecting "Show in Windows Explorer"") which says you're now using a Windows PC and it's challenges of playing something created by a Mac.

MY Movie, is from when you purchase a movie through iTunes. This is totally different then making a movie & it being stored in iMovie. I think it's a copy right thing, they let you purchase the movie but you can only watch/keep it on a Apple product.

You are correct. It's DRM protected, and not importable. I'm sure there's some kind of online work around someone's posted that might help.
