In this video, take a closer look at how to work with the events in the iMovie library. Learn how you can access any video that you've ever imported into iMovie from the library pane, and use it in any project you'd like. In addition to the events you create, if you have access to the Apple Photos library, as well as a category for all events, you’ll most likely spend the majority of your time working with the main iMovie library, where your events are stored.
- Okay, let's take a closer look…at how we work with the events in our iMovie library.…Basically from here in the library pane…you can access any video that you've ever imported…into iMovie, and use it in any project you want.…Again, in addition to the events you created,…if you have the Apple Photos app, or aperture installed,…you can see their libraries appear at the top,…as well as a category for all events.…But you'll most likely spend the majority of your time…working with the main iMovie library…where your events are stored.…Now movie library can be collapsed and expanded,…and when it's expanded…you'll see all the events you've created.…
When you select any event in the iMovie library…its contents are shown over here in the browser pane.…Now, this can be referred to as your source video,…because it always remains exactly as you imported it,…and it won't be altered by any changes…or edits you make to it, in the project pane down here.…So you can use the same footage over and over again,…in several different projects,…
