I've just created an iMovie project that is about one song length. I tried to airdrop it to my phone, and trim it that way so I could send it to my friends and family, and it says the file is unsupported. I'm assuming if I convert it to an MP4 it will work, although, if anyone knows why the file was unsupported in the first place I would appreciate all the help I can get - especially since Apple customer service is MIA.

Just in the last 30 minutes I have shared as a file and both times it saves as a .mov. I cannot and others cannot view it on an iPhone.
I just found this on another Apple forum from Rich839. I tried it and it worked.
When you share a movie as low, medium or high quality it will share as a Mp4. If you share it as Best Quality (pro res) it will share as a .mov. The file size in pro res will be a lot larger, but the quality is noticeably better, and you will have your movie in a format that is better for editing, should you need to do that outside of the original project itself.
Sounds like you were trying to airdrop your project and that doesn't work. You need to share your project to file which will give you an MP4.
Glad you sorted it out. Sorry I forgot to mention about using low, medium, or high quality and not best.
