Media range time codes on iMovie

September 30, 2022 2:06 PM

I've built a rough cut in iMovie out of many clips of stock footage that I'm sending to an editor to make a smoother cut in Final Cut. Is there a way to find the exact time codes from the clips I'm using so that he'll be able to copy the same pieces / timing of each clip without having to sit and watch my cut scene by scene to match the action? It looks like iMovie shows the range of the clip that's used, and how long the shot is in the cut, but I can't find a time code anywhere. Is there a way to find it?

Assuming that the editor is using Final Cut Pro X and not a previous generation of the software, you can just send the iMovie file and the editor can open it up in Final Cut and re-edit it.
