All replies. iMovie stores all imported (and dragged & dropped) media files in the library. Only in case of media from other Apple application libraries (iTunes, Photos etc.) does the iMovie<\/strong> library link to the file in the other application library (so as not to waste space with duplicates).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

People ask also, where are Imovies stored on my iPhone<\/strong>? iMovie<\/strong> files are stored in User > Movies > iMovie Events and iMovie<\/strong> Projects etc.<\/p>\n

Frequent question, where does iMovie store<\/strong> video files? iMovie will autosave all of its data and assets (video, images, audio) into a library file called iMovie Library in the Movies folder of the computer you are working on for the day. Every time you make a change or add to your project in iMovie<\/strong>, your project will autosave.<\/p>\n

Also, are iMovie projects stored in iCloud? After you log into your iCloud account, you can save iMovie projects into your iCloud File Drive.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, how do I manage storage in iMovie? If after deleting unneeded projects and events, iMovie still takes up lots of disk space, you can further clear disk space on iMovie<\/strong> by deleting render files<\/strong> of iMovie<\/strong>. On iMovie, open Preferences. Click Delete button next to Render Files<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n

    Where are iMovie files stored on iCloud?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

    The default location is the Movies folder in your home folder. Click Save. A new library is created in the location you chose, and a new, empty event with today’s date is created. I don’t have iMovie, so you need to check if iCloud is allowed there.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    How do I recover an iMovie project on my iPhone?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
      \n

      How do I move iMovie to external drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

      Click your desktop to make sure that you’re in the Finder, then choose Go > Home from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Open the Movies folder, then drag the file named iMovie Library to your external hard drive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      Why does iMovie library take up so much space?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

      Essentially, iMovie takes all the instructions you’ve given during the editing process and applies them to the clips on the timeline to produce the movie you want to view. You can delete these, and doing so will free up lots of space in your iMovie Library.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      How do I empty my iMovie cache?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

      Navigate back to Finder and open the Movies folder and move the iMovie Library folder to the external drive. Double click to open it in iMovie to make sure everything is present. Delete the original iMovie Library folder on your internal drive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      How do I find lost iMovie projects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

      Your fully intact project probably is backed up in the iMovie Backups folder. To get there, go your your desktop Finder Menu and follow this file path: Go\/Home\/Library\/Containers\/com. apple. iMovieApp\/Data\/Library\/Caches\/iMovie Backups.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      How do I import my iMovie library?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
