iMovie for Mac: Work with multiple

libraries

The library contains your clips organized into events, and the projects you create. Most of the time, you have
only one iMovie library, but you can create additional libraries so that you can:

Back up your current project

Create an archive of your events and projects on a separate (external) storage device

Free up storage space on your Mac by moving iMovie events to another storage device

Edit a project on another Mac

You can create additional library files in different locations on your Mac or on different storage devices.

Create a new library

1. Choose File > Open Library > New.

2. In the Save dialog that appears, type a name for the new library, and navigate to the location where you
want to save it.

The default location is the Movies folder in your home folder.

3. Click Save.

A new library is created in the location you chose, and a new, empty event with today’s date is created.

Copy or move clips between libraries or storage devices

1. Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your
Mac.

2. Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.

You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new
library.

The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed
in the browser.
