iMovie '09 Editing - Exploring the Interface
Event Library – This is where your raw footage goes. All raw footage is available at all times. That means that if you are sharing a computer, anyone who is using the computer will be able to view and use your footage in their own project. This also means that the footage is separate from the project. Make sure that you know exactly where your footage is saved!
Project Library – This is where all of the individual video projects are accessed in iMovie ’09. There is no need to save your projects as the program does this automatically.
