iMovie 10

Hi everyone,

On Monday night I was helping two students work on an iMovie project when we encountered a few challenges. They were working on the movie in one of the Macs outside of Room A, when using iMovie 10 they tend to run a little slow. The computer kept freezing and showing us the dreaded rainbow wheel...
For the future, I would encourage anyone working on an iMovie project to work in one of the studios for the best user experience.


Also, the students were looking to save their iMovie project on a hard drive so they could then go in the studio and record a voiceover. They were following the directions on the SMDC iMovie instruction sheet. This sheet is really helpful in saving a finished iMovie project, but it does not give students information on how to save the entire iMovie file in order to preserve editing capabilities.

To do this, go to the hard drive symbol on the desktop, click it, then go to movies.


Click movies and it will take you to the iMovie projects on the computer. Then select the file that is yours (hopefully saved under a distinctive title).


You can then move this file to an external hard drive, and it will be able to be transferred and edited on another Mac computer.

I hope this helps!
