• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I downloaded video from my camera into imovie 08 on my MacBook. I want to move the video to iMovie 08 on another Mac to edit it. I downloaded it to iMovie 08 on my MacBook because my camera requires a firewire, and the computer I want to edit it on doesn't have a firewire port. How can I move the video to the other computer?
Thanks!

iMovie 08 and 09 have two terms depending on where you are with a project:

1. If you've downloaded video footage into iMovie but haven't started editing it yet, it's known as an EVENT. To move it, all you need to do is copy the specific event folder from (your home folder)/Movies/iMovie Events to the same place on the other Mac.

2. If you've started editing it, that means you've created a PROJECT. Which means you will ALSO want to copy the (your home folder)/Movies/iMovie Projects file which matches the name of your event into the same folder on the other Mac.

I believe that is all that is required.
