Older iMovie projects won't update in iMovie 10.3.5 My iMovie projects are on an external drive. They contain the usual resources: a "Project" file, a "Movies" folder, a "Proxies" folder, a "QuickLook" folder and "Still Image" folder. I am running OS 13.01 on an M1 iMac. Projects did not update when I set up the new computer and won't update manually. Any ideas on how to get iMovie to recognize my old projects and update them into the new format?
