First let me say I am extremely shocked at the extent that iMove 10 was "gutted". Then again, this is Apple we're talking about, who has a habit of heavy handedly changing things and pissing people off. There are now only 2 options under Preferences. Really? Many other options have just been eliminated, or as Apple calls it, streamlined.
Anyway, I thought I'd give iMove 10 a try, before I run out and buy Adobe Premiere Elements. One thing I've always hated about iMovie is that there is no concept of projects. At least in the sense that from the menu you can select File -> Open Project.
I don't understand why Apple does not seem to understand the need for projects in iMovie (and iPhoto and Aperture), but it would certainly make project management much simpler. (That was sarcasm).
With the previous version of iMovie, I could copy the .rcproject file, and related events, to an external drive mounted on /Volumes/Media Library. Then I was able to edit the same video from my Macbook or iMac. Now I don't see how to load the .rcproject and related events into iMovie, from an external drive. The ability to view external drives in the side bar has been "streamlined".
So given the .rcproject and events folder below, how would I load them from an external drive?
