where are my videos stored
Hi - I've just started using iMovie with videos (I'd done a short one with stills before, but this is mp4 shot with my little point-&-shoot camera). I download them into iPhoto and up till now I've only had a few and just left them in iPhoto and played them there.
But one evening recently I took a lot of videos of a band playing a gig in a pub, and wanted to edit a bit and see what I could do with them.
It's all great fun but something happened just now - I haven't deleted those pub videos from my camera yet, and this morning I went to download some still photos I'd taken yesterday, and iPhoto is showing all my pub videos as not imported yet. So iPhoto isn't recognizing them as being there, but they're definitely there and they play normally.
My process for getting them into iMovie from iPhoto was, I dragged each one to my desktop, them imported them individually into iMovie. Then did some Projects.
They all show up in Finder under iMovie Events and Projects, and double-clicking on those opens up iMovie.
So - could anyone tell me where these videos reside now? In Finder? Am I doubled up on the space they're taking up? I can leave things as they are, everything's working fine, but I really should know what I'm doing 😕
Thanks,
