    Hello,

    Normally, Windows cannot read an iMovie file. It needs to be exported into a compatible format. For example, to mpeg4 (.mp4), through the Share / Export or Export Movie menu... several options available...

    Have a nice day

    I found a way to extract the video from imoviproj (the file)

    You go on your Mac. Then right-click on your project, open the package. If I remember correctly, go to the cache. There's another folder that you open. You then have your project in .mov format

    I get stuck trying to convert it to wav afterwards.

      Thank you for your reply, Sayu. I managed to find the .mov file. But why do you want to convert it to .wav?
      I can convert the .mov to .wav using Switch if that interests you; I believe the program is free. Let me know if it works. Talk to you later. ;)

    In the USB drive, it shows the video as a file and when I right-click on it, it does not give me the option to open with.
    Should I convert it directly before copying it to my USB drive?

    hello,

    you need to indicate which program to use to read it > default program or right-click on it

      Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can find the WMV codec to read ".iMovieProj" files (that is, the iMovie files on Mac)?
