iMovie Project Share
I know you can share your movie from iMovie but can you share the actual project. A friend of mine and I want to collaborate on an iMovie project. Can we send it back and forth to each other?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

iMovie movie projects cannot be moved or stored independently of the iMovie library in which they reside.
To share an iMovie project from one Mac to another you need to copy or move to an external drive or thumb drive the iMovie library that contains the project. Then you physically transfer the drive that contains the library and project to your friend with the other Mac., (not a Windows PC) where it can be opened and worked on. The external drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS before transferring the library to it. Additionally, both Macs must be running the exact same iMovie version that was used to create the project.
Rather than transfer your main library that may contain several other projects, you can create a brand new blank iMovie library and transfer the project into it. Then move the newly created library to the external drive for transfer to the other Mac.
