Hi,


Insert your SDHC card. When you export your iMovie project designate the card as the destination. Or you can simply export your iMovie project to a movie file on your desktop, and from there drag it into the SDHC. Make sure the card first is formatted macOS Extended (Journaled) for playing

on Apple system, or formatted ExFat that will play on both Apple and Windows. Do not format as Fat 32 or you will be limited to 4GB file size.
