Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac. Tap the Share button, and then tap the iTunes icon. Export projects to your Mac via iTunesĪ benefit to exporting the project to iTunes instead of iCloud is that it doesn’t require a long round trip through the internet. With that confirmed, you can then delete the project from iMovie. 
If that’s the case, open the project on the iPhone or iPad, make a small edit (such as trimming a clip), and re-export the project. To verify, go to your Mac and, in the Finder, open the iMovie folder in your iCloud Drive.īefore you delete the project from your device, open it in iMovie on the Mac first! If it was created with an older version of iMovie for iOS, the latest version of iMovie on the Mac may not be able to open it.
In the Share to iCloud dialog that appears, tap iMovie Project.Īfter a few minutes (depending on the size of the project and the speed of your internet connection), the project is shared to iCloud. In the Projects view, tap the project you want to export. If you want to go back and edit that movie later, or just know that you have the freedom to do so, the trick is to send the entire project to iCloud or iTunes. Normally when you export a project, iMovie creates just a video file to watch or share. If iMovie is hoarding storage on your iPhone or iPad, here are some safe ways to clean it up. I could have just deleted them, but I want to keep the option of editing old video projects later. Even the default setting of 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps) uses 130MB per minute of H.264 video (60MB for HEVC).Ī lot of those gigabytes were old iMovie projects that didn’t need to stay on the iPhone. No wonder: all of Apple’s current iPhone models capture up to 4K resolution, which occupies approximately 350MB of storage per minute (or 170MB per minute if you’re using the new HEVC format under iOS 11). (You can see how your iPhone’s storage is being allocated by checking Settings > General > iPhone Storage.) 
In an attempt to reclaim some space on my iPhone, I discovered that iMovie was one of the biggest data hogs.
