Q: Move my Movies folder to external drive?
I am fairly new to the mac computer and have been trying to figure out how to entirely move my movies folder to an external drive. My movies folder is over 400gb now and really causing me problems, I know that if I just copy paste the folder that iMovie will not find my videos as they were. I have found a few really old articles on doing this using terminal however I have not been successful yet. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Movies as in home movies in iMovie or Movies as in purchased movies from iTunes...?
For iMovie, see > Move your iMovie for Mac (2014) library - Apple Support
For iTunes, see > Manage and back up your iTunes media library - Apple Support
For either and/or all external media storage, it is wise to have the media backed up to a second location.
