Transferring iMovie file to a hard drive

In case you don't already know, since we had someone today who needed it done, it is very easy to transfer iMovie projects on to an external hard drive.

• First, plug the hard drive into the mac via fire wire cable.
• If the external drive shows up on the desktop but not in iMovie simply close out of iMovie and re-open it (don't worry iMovie saves automatically)
• Next, open up the projects library tab in iMovie which is the gray arrow in the top left corner
• Finally, simply drag your project from the Mac hard drive to the External Mac hard drive and a popup will appear asking if you want to copy the project, OR the project and events.
•  MAKE SURE YOU CLICK "PROJECTS AND EVENTS"
• If you do not the student WILL NOT be able to edit their project in the future

It's that simple. However, if none of these steps work for you you can always go into the iMovie folder and copy BOTH the imovie projects and events folder straight onto the hard drive. However, the first process is a lot easier and convenient to use.
