How can I export a movie from iMovie onto a memory stick?

I am unable to load my movie onto a memory stick. The movie is about 80minutes long or just under 12gigabites. I tried loading it first onto a 16g and couldn't then on a 32g and kept getting the same message: The file format was too big to fit on that memory stick. Is there a special storage device that I need to use?

It's because the memory stick is formatted for FAT 32, which can't accept a file that big. You can go to Disk Utility in Applications / Utilities and reformat it with ext FAT. You should then be able to copy it over.
