Step 2: Command-Drag the Event. Just like moving a project, simply hold down the Command key and drag the event to the desired drive. IMovie will spend a few moments moving the data and that’s it. Again, any existing projects won’t be affected as iMovie knows where all the events are. Hold down the Command key whilst dragging to move the event. Go to “File” - “Open Library” - “New”. Give your Library the name of your choice (e.g. IMovie Library 1), then click on the drop down button so you can easily find your removable drive. Select your removable drive, then press “Save”. You’ll now have a second Library in your left navigation bar. Tap on “Advanced” and you will see the “iTunes Media folder location” on top of the new window. Step 2: Consolidate your iTunes library. To make sure everything in your iTunes library is stored in one place, you are suggested to consolidate the iTunes library before you copy iTunes library to external hard drive. Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac. In the iMovie app on your Mac, 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.

“Copy Project/ or Move project” means that project in its new location rather than physically copying project’s video and other media (such as photos) onto the other disk. This will NOT allow you to work on your project from another Mac. It creates only a copy of the project file, no clips, images, etc. that are part of your project. This is not usually useful for protecting/backing up your work.
