MM2.1 and iMovie

Hello All,

I am thinking of taking a video course in the Fall. I am told that this course
uses a Mac and iMovie for video editing. I am unfamiliar with this platform,
and of course, do not have a Mac. I would like to find out how feasible it
is to move a video project between iMovie and MM2.1. Could I work on
the project in iMovie while in the course and then bring it home and work
on the project in MM2.1? Am I pipe dreaming? <g> Thanks!

Sorry, but you plan won't work.

Movie Maker can successfully import
.wmv and .avi movie clips but the only
project files it's compatible with are it's
own .mswmm files.

yup, you're pipe dreaming... the Movie Maker project file is only something
used by Movie Maker, and it won't open an iMovie project file.

Thank you both. I suspected as much :-)

If I take the course and find some way to use MM2.1 I'll report back and share.
