How to Save an iMovie to Quicktime

Apple's iMovie video-editing application allows you to export your movie to QuickTime, the Mac video player. This is one of the built-in sharing options in iMovie. Exporting to QuickTime changes the iMovie to the MOV format. It also gives you access to settings for video, sound and Internet streaming.

Instructions

1. Open the iMovie software.

2. Click "File" then "Open" and open the iMovie you wish to export.

3. Click on the "Share" menu and select "Export Using QuickTime." The exporting window opens with the format set to QuickTime Movie.

4. Enter a title and save location for the saved file in the window that appears on the screen.

5. Click the "Options" button, if desired, to access the video, sound and Internet streaming settings. The default settings are fine for most purposes.

6. Press "OK" to leave the "Options" window and press "Save" to save the iMovie to QuickTime.
