Can not import Imovie file from Iphone to Macbook

I export the video project from my iPhone 7 via airdrop. I get a file on my desktop that is named "mymovie.imoviemobile" and when I try to import it I get an error:

"Error in iOS Project Import

Failed to import the selected iOS project file. Please try again"

And I've tried again and again. Double clicking it the iOS movie file or "importing iOs project" it is the same error.

I´ve currently used:

iOS 11.2.2 / iMovie 2.2.4

Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 / iMovie 10.1.8

iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.2

Just curious, did you try transferring the project using iTunes instead of Airdrop? If you post the project on Dropbox and send me a link I'll happily try it on my Mac running Sierra and 10.1.8.

HEVC is not a problem with High Sierra and iMovie 10.8. How are you trying to import from your phone? There have been problems using airdrop instead of iMovie import window or image capture.

Correction iMovie is 10.1.8 not 10.8.
