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.

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
