Q: How do I save my video clips/events to an external hard drive with the newest version of iMovie?

I used to be able to drag the video clips in to my external hard drive once importing them with the older version of iMovie. Now I'm unable to do so with the newest version. How do I backup my video clips with the newest version of iMovie?

iMovie '11, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hello tronsonation,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If you want to be using an external hard drive to store your iMovie data, then all you need to do is move your iMovie library to the external drive. To learn more about this, please review the information in the link below.

Move your iMovie for Mac (2014) library - Apple Support

Have a good one,
