How do I edit GoPro videos on my iPad,on iMovie when I do not have enough storage to save them on my iPad

So i recently purchased a gopro and im interested in making movies etc,when I ran into an interesting problem.I know you can get videos on your iPad from your GoPro wirelessly but that's through the GoPro app and I need to get my videos into the Imovie app.I also know you can save the videos on your iPad to bring them to the imovie app but I do not have enough storage to save even a 20 minute clip to bring it over to the iMovie app,so how do I get them to the iMovie app and then to an external hard drive from my iPad without a computer? Is it possible?

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11

Hi. Apps on the iPad can only work with files in storage on the iPad. Other devices, like external hard drives, can only be used to copy files to/from storage, aside from limited play/view capabilities in the drive's interface app. You need either an iPad with more storage (new iPad), or a computer, to edit the video as you want. Sorry.
