On your Mac computer, you can work on multiple iMovie projects simutaneously, and easily save them once you’re finished. In this guide, we’ll discuss two easy methods you can use to save iMovie project on your Mac.
With iMovie, you can create a project from the pre-downloaded trailer templates, or make a new movie to compile videos from a family vacation or birthday party. Once a project is complete, you can save it to your files, whether it’s a specific folder or directly to your desktop.
Here’s how to save an iMovie project to your Mac.

Method 1: Saving a Project Via iMovie

Step 1: Open iMovie on your Mac.
Step 2: Select an ongoing project from the “Projects” tab. You can also start a new project by clicking the plus (+) option and selecting a trailer template or starting a new freeform movie.

Step 3: Click on the three dots to the right of its name and select “Share Project” from the pop-up list.
Step 4: Select “File” from the bottom of the list. The other options allow you to share the project directly through email or social media, but sharing to “File” will directly save a copy to your Mac.

Sharing to “Theater” will only save the project to iMovie, and you won’t be able to access it anywhere else on your computer.
Step 5: This will open a pop-up with options to customize your saved video. You can add a description and tags, along with adjusting the resolution and quality, then click “Next”
