Recently, we have had a lot of people creating video projects using iMovie. At a certain point during the editing process the user tends to come to the desk inquiring about how to put the video onto their hard drive. I have seen many upset people who say they put the movie on the hard drive but they couldn't hear anything as well as people who have spent wasted time copying the movie to the desk top and THEN putting it on the hard drive.
Although I'm sure some of the center staff are very familiar with this process I know that some of us still get confused or forget the step by step process. Hopefully you will be able to use my post as a reference when you come across the frequent issue.
There are two important things to remember. First, the hard drive must be MAC compatible (the ones at the desk are) and second, an icon for the hard drive will appear in the "Events Library".
There are two options:
Copy or Move the file. Moving the file is usually what people want to do since it takes the video out of iMovie and they don't have to worry about their work being available to others.
To move the project to an external hard drive:
1. Go into the project library click on the project you want to move
2. Select "Move project and Events"
- If you only select move project, none of the source video and other media you added will be able to viewed
- Moving or copying the project will usually take as long as the actual video file.
