Hello all.

Newbie question for you.

When I have imported video from my camera and completed my editing and burned my project - is the only way to delete the imported video from the hard drive by selecting the individual clips and putting them in the trash from within iMovie?

Assuming that I don't want to keep the project and the imported video of course!! Anyone know where iMovie imports the original video footage to on the hard drive?

Thanks in advance.

If you are finished with the iMovie project. Just trash the project file. It contains everything, in the iMovie project.

Its not a real curse, because you can do a control click and then select show package contents. Then you look in the media folder for your video clips.
