(This error applies only to this project other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version.
Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. iMovieMobile project file-for an hour-long+ video-that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. Manufacturer : Apple (a multibillion dollar company) IMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export." IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format." When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?Īny reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects-created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones-in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?
