Hi,


Yes, one can export an iOS iMovie project from an iPhone to a Mac. You export using Air Drop and the project will be sent to your Mac's Downloads folder. Double click on the project in the Downloads folder and it will open in a Mac iMovie project. Or, in an existing Mac iMovie project, you can do a File/Import iMovie iOS Projects and that will import the iOS project from the Downloads folder to Mac iMovie. Your software must be up to date or the iOS project might not open from the Downloads folder.
