Export iMovie Timeline?

I have been making a short video in iMovie for the past few days, and I don't think it has the tools I need to do it well enough. That is why I downloaded DaVinci, and I want to try it out.

However I want to put my iMovie timeline into the DaVinci program, since the project media is not trimmed and clipped and split like in the timeline. It would be a ton of work to redo it all, so I wonder if there is a way to export the iMovie project with all the clips as separate files.

Or, can I update the project media library to only use what is in the timeline?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

iMovie only allows sharing out an entire project, not individual clips of a project.

There you would need to Edit/copy each clip one at a time from your time line, and Edit/paste each clip into a separate project for each clip. Then you share out each separate project. That would allow you to preserve the edits you had made for each clip.
