Hi David,

First, thanks for your great "Missing Manuals." They are incredibly well written and easy to work with.

I have a question that I cannot find an answer to, so I'm hoping you might help. I have an iMac and recently bought an 80 gig external drive to have more storage for iMovie and iTunes. My problem is that I can't find out how to save the clips to the external drive as I import them. Is this possible? I'd like them to download onto the external drive so I can retrieve them as I'm editing. Is this a crazy notion? The same for my iTunes library. . . .

Thanks for your help.

Jim

Easy one: When you create a new iMovie project, just save it onto the external drive. iMovie will now store all of its files--clips and all--on that drive.

Good luck!

David
