Q: Can you take an iMovie iOS project to iMovie on the Mac?
I can see how to get the .iMovieMobile project from iOS onto my computer, but I can't see any way in iMovie on the Mac to get it into that application. Not sure what the benefit is of having the option to save the project on the Mac if it can't be brought in iMovie Mac.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You can choose to share the project file to iTunes (instead of iCloud) if you don't want to use up bandwidth or take up your iCloud storage space. On your Mac, you can grab the file, while your device is connected, in iTunes by clicking on your device, clicking Apps and scrolling down to where it says 'File Sharing'. Click iMovie in the list and you will see your project(s) on the right. Drag it to your desktop and import in iMovie. (Just remember to delete the copy from your device later since it takes up extra space)
