How to move an existing project to another disk.

Since iMovie keeps everything needed in the project folder, you simply drag the entire project folder from one disk to the other. After Finder finished copying (which may take a while), you can open the copy in two ways:

  1. Open the project folder and double-click on the project file.
  2. Launch iMovie and select Open in the File menu. Navigate to the copy and open it.
