More fun with iMovie!

Hey guys, so Konrad and I have stumbled across another problem with these wonderful iMovie projects. We had two different students come up trying to save the project and events folders to their own hard drives and/or flash drive. Here's the kicker. The folders saved fine, but when we tried to open them up on another computer only the information in the events folder was showing up. The problem was the the hard drives and flash drives were only formatted for PCs, not macs. So even though the folder would show up on the drives they would not open when put into a mac. Unfortunately, the only answer that we could offer these students was to reformat their hard drives because we were out of ours for burrowing. Just a heads up for anyone else that comes across this problem!

    Thanks Kurt, Sometimes I recommend people edit on their own laptops if they don't have a hard drive and don't have time to finish a project and/or plan to go back to it later. There's also Windows Movie Maker as an option for Windows formatted drives.

    Thanks for the heads up Kurt.

    I'll go ahead and add that, they were probably in FATex or FAT32 format which is common for USB Flash Drives, and a little less common for Hard Drives. Remember to check for the yellow warning symbol next to the drive name when you go to copy it through iMovie! It should not let you copy it over, but some people will do a manual copy after encountering this error. Don't do that, it's blocking you out for a reason!
