[QUOTE="Mr Macintosh, post: 846281, member: 90004"] Hi there mate! Of course that's possible! Let me tell you how. . . Firstly, its been a long time since I've used iMovie, because I'm using the Pro software now, like Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Shake, so forgive me if I get any of this wrong. 1. Open up the account which contains the original video files. 2. Send them to the Shared Folder (or as you want to free up space, just make a shortcut to them and place them in the Shared folder.) 3. Open up iMovie in your account, open up the Shared Folder, and drag the movie contents into the iMovie timeline. Alternatively, if you are an Administrator, you can just open up Macintosh HD/Users/(The account with those video files)/(wherever those video files are stored) And select each clip and press cmd+I and gain the access permissions to view and copy those files, and then just drag them straight into the iMovie Timeline. The second option is a bit more complex, I'd stick with the first one if I were you! Hope this helped! Regards. [/QUOTE]
