Another option that doesn't require the time and duplication of disk
space required by exporting your movie from iMovie is to:
- right-click (or control click) on your iMovie project (called "My
Great Movie.iMovieProject" or whatever you titled it) and choose "show
package contents" from the pop-up context menu
- open the "Shared Movies" folder
- then open the iDVD folder
You should then see a Quicktime reference movie for your whole edited
movie which you will be able to drag straight into the timeline in
Final Cut Express (or Pro). FCE will ask if you want to change
settings to match the imported footage which you should do in order
not to have to re-render all the time.
This reference movie is only ~ 300K in size, but it acts as if it is
the entire exported iMovie project movie which you can edit to your
heart's content in FCE (or FCP). Just make sure you don't make any
changes to the original imovie project otherwise it will mess up the
reference movie in FCE.

Can't remember all the version differences, but essentially clips

Do this for all the clips, then import the quicktimes into FCP.
If this is too confusing or stressful, you *can* open the imovie
captures in FCE, but you will probably need to render each clip on
the timeline.

Hi folks,
Has anyone found a way to export clips from iMovie 06 to Final Cut
Express 4 ?
I have a project that I would like to complete in FCE.
Don't really want to find all the clips again from my Mini DV
tapes !!!
