I have created a project on iMovie and now I'm done editing it. So, I was going to finalize it as I did with previous projects on the previous version of iMovie but the option is not there. I looked it out in the Apple site, and it says that it is under "File", but it is not there. Does anybody know if it's gone or where can I find it?
iMovie '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Share to file. You can choose resolution and where it will be saved.
Regarding the original question: if you save to Theater iMovie will create versions of your movie for different devices so this is really the equivalent of 'finalizing' an iMovie 9 movie. It takes longer and uses more disk space than sharing to file so is not worth doing if you only want a single version.

I'm new to iMovie 10 myself but from what I've read I don't think there's an equivalent option. Instead of letting Finalize Project export all variations of your project for sharing and such, I think you need to do each individually using the Share option.
Just when I thought the most confusing thing about iMovie was Apple's naming scheme, along comes iMovie 10 and I'm left scratching my head at a lot of things.
I'm having a similar problem. I'm confused as to which "share" option to use. I don't want to upload the finished movie to ANY social media site, so I am hesitant to select these options! I only want to have the movie available to play from my macbook and perhaps copy it across to a windows machine - so a quicktime/vlc compatable option would be best. Any advice? Thank you!
There is no finalize option with iMovie 10.0.2 which is the latest version. It was in the file menu for iMovie 9.
Thanks for the answer, but is there a feature similar to the "finalize project" one?
Oh, ok, thanks for the answer!
Where is "finalize project" option on iMovie?
