Answer
From the Projects browser choose Share Video, set resolution, frame rate and HDR in Options, then save to Photos or Files and verify the result.
Review the final timeline
Play the entire movie and check picture, sound, titles, transitions, and the final frame.
Open Share Video
Return to Projects, select the movie, tap Share, then choose Share Video.
Set delivery options
Choose supported resolution, frame rate, and HDR based on the destination rather than simply selecting the largest file.
Save and inspect
Save to Photos or Files, keep iMovie open during export, and play the exported file before deleting project media.

Play the exported file from beginning to end and verify video, sound, titles, transitions, duration, properties, and destination before deleting project media.

If it does not work
- If export fails, preserve the project, free local storage, and isolate the problematic clip or output option. Do not delete source media as the first fix.
