iMovie storage of original media
When I start a new project, I always work in an iMovie library that I have created on an external hard drive.
Before starting editing I store all my original footage in a special project-folder on this external hard drive. Now, as soon as I am starting editing, it seems that iMovie automatically stores all the original files that I import into iMovie in a folder called FINAL CUT ORIGINAL MEDIA.
So my question is: is it actually so that all files that have been imported into iMovie are automatically stored by iMovie in this Final Cut Original Media-folder?
And if so: does this mean that in order to save space on my external hard disk, I don't have to file all my original media in special folders, before starting editing?
Hope someone can help me out! Thanks in advance!
