Video takes up a lot of space, and as you continue to add footage into iMovie, you might find that your hard drive starts getting full pretty quickly. The first option you have is to store your footage on a second hard drive or even move existing events to another hard drive. This video shows you how to create a new iMovie library on an external drive to store your footage.
- [Instructor] The last two movies in this chapter…are about how to save space on your hard drive…because video takes up a lot of space…and as you can continue adding footage into iMovie…you might find that your hard drive…starts getting full pretty quickly.…The first option you have is to store your footage…on a second hard drive or even move existing events…to another hard drive.…First, let's take a field trip outside…of iMovie for a moment.…I'll choose to hide it for a second.…And here I'll go to my Home folder…by choosing Go, Home.…Now, inside your Home folder you'll find…your Movies folder.…
And inside Movie you'll find the iMovie Library.…This is the file that contains all the events,…projects and footage in iMovie.…This is not a file you want to mess around with…because iMovie organizes your data in a very specific way.…Also, if you have an older version of iMovie installed…as I do, you'll see these iMovie Events…and iMovie Projects folders here too…but we can just ignore those since…we're working with this new version of iMovie.…
