I am assuming that you are using iMovie 10 -- correct?

If so, iMovie projects (that are still in editable form) cannot be moved individually. They reside in an iMovie library, so to move the project you must move the iMovie library that contains the project. The iMovie app itself would then be needed to open the library and the project. The destination drive would need to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the iMovie library to work on it. It would not work with a TV.

A standalone movie that has been shared out from a project can be put on a flash thumb drive. The thumb drive would need to be formatted FAT 32 to work with a TV.
