move the imovie proj file over to mac with  FCP 6 or 7 or maybe FCP X

open iMovie project into FCP, export XML

take XML into PP along with original media files on PC

the problems : FCP will only go back something like 2 versions on =
imovie. I once had to find a copy of imovie 5 to open project from iM3, =
save it out and then I think FCP6 opened the iM5 project.. or I had a =
copy of im7 that could open iM5, then save as Im7. FCP6 would only go =
back to iM6... or some such craziness. I then took the FCP 6 proj and =
moved it to FCP7 for actual edit. there may be some major PITA messing =
around like this involved.=20

if imovie on ipad can export XML and you can get that file, you may be =
able to open in the NLE of your choice. of course the XML it might make =
may be for FCP X only...

another option - get HDMI adapter cable for iPad, connect to I/O box =
with HDMI in, play it out iPad and record on PC. low tech but might be =
the fastest and easiest way to get it done

that might be able to help me.  My boss has an iPad2 with iMovie on it.  =
