Apple iMovie exports movies in QuickTime format, or you can export directly to your camcorder’s videotape or Apple iDVD. To export your project in iMovie, follow these steps:
- Open the project you want to export (such as the Chapter 1 project).
- Choose File➪Export. The iMovie Export dialog box appears.
- Choose how you want to export your movie from the Export menu. For now, I recommend that you choose To QuickTime.
- Choose a Format, such as Web.
- Click Export.
- Give a name for your movie file in the Save As box. Make a note of the folder in which you are saving the movie. Choose a different folder if you wish. If you remove the .mov filename extension, Windows users (you probably know a few) will have a hard time viewing your movie.
- Click Save.
iMovie exports your movie. The export process may take a few minutes, depending on how long your movie is.
