Copied a iMovie onto external drive but is expat formatted. I then deleted the movie on my mac hard drive to free up space. I emptied trash also. Now I've tried to re-open the iMovie video using the hard drive and obviously it isn't working. The file can't even be highlighted. Any solutions? Thanks

The Ex Fat drive format is compatible with Mac and Windows. I can't explain why your exported iMovie movie won't open. Possibly the movie may have gotten corrupted somehow. Or perhaps the drive is corrupted. Do other videos open on the drive?
Copy the movie back to your Mac or to another external drive and see if it works there. If it works, then the movie file is not corrupted. If it doesn't work, then it probably is corrupted.
