Whats up guys,
As most people know there isn't an option in iMovie to "save". I recently had someone come up to the desk trying to figure out how to save their project. On iMovie there are two ways to save the project to be accessed later.
If you the student is finished with his or her project he or she should go to share>>export Movie and export the project to the desktop. However, oftentimes students want to save their progress so that they can come back at a later time and pick up where they left off. If this is the case he or she should close iMovie, open up the movie folder on the desktop and drag BOTH the "iMovie Project" and "iMovie Events" folders to their external hard-drive. Later when he or she comes back they can drag these two folders back into movies and continue to work.
Hi-- this is one way to save, especially if they're saving to an external hard drive that's formatted as FAT32. If they're saving to an external hard drive that's formatted as Mac OS Extended, they won't have to drag the two folders into the Movies folder to continue working on their project.
ReplyDeleteThe other way to save would be to go into the Project Library and drag the project onto the external hard drive. Make sure to copy both the iMovie Project and Events.
I sent an email to all of the student workers about this, which makes me think if it's also something that I should post to the blog...
