Import into Final Cut Pro from iMovie for macOS

You can send an iMovie for macOS project to Final Cut Pro. You initiate the process from within iMovie. The project file and the media used in the project are copied to your Final Cut Pro library.

If you want to send an iMovie trailer project, you first need to convert it to a movie project.

For information about sending an iMovie project to Final Cut Pro or converting a trailer project to a movie project, see iMovie Help.

Note: If you send a movie project from iMovie to Final Cut Pro and it contains a clip with the “Lower volume of other clips” audio adjustment, that adjustment appears in Final Cut Pro as the Gain filter. For information about adjusting audio effects in Final Cut Pro, see Adjust audio effects in Final Cut Pro.
