SUMMARY
This article describes how to place an Apple iMovie into a presentation.

Typically, you cannot insert an iMovie, because iMovies use the Apple Digital Video format, which is not compatible with QuickTime. However, this article demonstrates how to export your iMovie into a format that is compatible with QuickTime.



MORE INFORMATION
To export an iMovie Project in a QuickTime compatible format, follow these steps:
 * 1) In iMovie, click Open Project on the File menu, and open your project.
 * 2) Locate the iMovie project that you want to export, click to select it, and then click Open.
 * 3) On the File menu, click Export Movie.
 * 4) Change the Export option from &quot;To Camera&quot; to &quot;To QuickTime&quot;.
 * 5) Under Format, select an output format, or if you select Expert, please refer to the Apple documentation for iMovie, and how to export projects by using the expert QuickTime settings.
 * 6) After you make your export choices, click Export.
 * 7) Type a name for the movie, and place the movie in the same folder as your presentation.

You can now insert the movie into any presentation that is running under Mac OS.
