Organize your files

to the folder that contains the source files on the desktop

  1. From the top menu > iMovie > Quit iMovie
  2. Click on the desktop, go to File > New Finder Window
  3. In the window navigate to Local Work > Users > find your folder > Movies > iMovie Projects
  4. Click and drag the entire iMovie Project folder (intact) to your project folder on the desktop
  5. Copy the project folder from the desktop to your cubby on Orca


To continue working on the iMovie project on another computer

  1. Copy the project folder from Orca to the desktop
