Transfer iMovie project from Mac to iPhone?

Is there any way to transfer an iMovie project from Mac to iPhone, so I can edit the project on iPhone? (Preferably without having to use icloud, as I would have to upgrade the storage) Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.5

Hi big_smile,


Unfortunately, Mac iMOvie projects cannot be transferred from Mac to an iPhone or other iOS device.


What you can do is export the Mac project as a movie file on your desktop, and then use AirDrop to transfer the movie to your iPhone for import into a iPhone iMovie. It would come into iPhone iMovie as one large clip that could be edited to a limited extent like any other clip.
