Specifiy location for iMovie on external hard disk
Has anybody found a way to specifiy the location of your videos on your external hard disk? My external hard disks are not root-writable, since they're used by several family members which have separate accounts, so I would like to write my iMovie projects and events to e.g. /External HD/Users/JohnAverage/iMovie Library/
- but iMovie '08 insists on using the root directory, and even gives a completely bogus error message unless the root directory is writable.
Has anyone found a way to circumvent this? Have you tried moving the events and projects folders to a nonstandard position on an external disk or the system disk?
There are lots of missing features in iMovie '08, but this one is going to pretty much stop me from trying it out at all 😟
