Thanks for taking the trouble to explain it all easy terms. I thought I'd never be able to get all my old tapes to a single place. Wonderful.

Let me ask you a question. I have a hard drive and transferred all my imovie videos onto the hard drive. I now want to delete all the videos off my mac to free up space on the computer. After I do so, can I still edit the videos that are on my hard drive on imovie or do the clips need to be imported back to the computer to edit them?

@wastnTIMEwastnTIME I have a 1T Firewire 800 drive that all my iMovie and FC files are on. As long as you format the drive as I show in the tutorial. iMovie will see. I did this because my Macbook HD would fill up with all the video. Now I dont store any on my MacBook

Ted, thanks for this. I have a 2T external hard drive with lots of home video on it. Each one of my home video tapes was transferred to it. Some of those tapes were 20 min, some were 2 hours,all sorts of lengths. Each tape was transferred as one .mov file.My question is now I want to make movies using selects from many of the different .mov files. I can use my external drive to store my new movie, but how do I take say just 5 seconds from one of the .mov files & not have to import whole mov?Tnx

@TolucaKevin iMovie will recognize the drive if it is attached and you just open the event and select as you would editing any clip. You can multiple hard drives hooked up and select form any of them in iMovie

Do you NEED a firewire cable to do this?

@TheSostreBros Only if the drive your are preparing is a fire wire drive and not USB
