I am starting to work in iMovie and have imported many videos from my camcorder into my iMac. As expected they occupy a huge amount of file space. I already had a 500 GB external hard drive which I use primarily to house my iPhoto files so I went out and bought a 4 TB EHD. I use that to house my Time Machine files but would also like to use it for my iMovie files.
Presently my iMovie stuff is on the iMac hard drive under HD > Users > My Name > Movies with sub folders iMovie events and iMovie projects. The Movies folder contains 110 GB. Two questions:
1) If f I drag the Movies folder from the iMac HD to the 4 TB EHD will everything related to my movie files be transferred?
2) If that works, will the setup recognize the changes so the next imported video will go to the correct place?
Thank you
