iMovie HD Question - How do I separate a project into TWO
PROJECTS/MOVIES?


I have an iMovie Project that contains the main movie and a funny
blooper reel.

I need to simply make the blooper reel into a SECOND independent iMOVIE
PROJECT. I don't have enough GBs to copy the main project and then just
delete the opposites files on the identical copies, to make two separate
projects... the MAIN project is 30GBs, and I only have 18 GBs left.


So I have to do it some other way.


So... if I have two movies on one iMovie Project... the main movie and
the blooper reel... how do I make the blooper reel into an independent
iMovie project?

(That way only select people can see the blooper reel, and not everyone
I send the main DVD to - and also that way the main project file size
becomes smaller and more manageable, because it is getting too big and
having problems in iDVD encoding)


TIA!!!

   I assume the blooper reel is a lot shorter than the main project.
Open the project and edit out everything except the blooper parts,
"Save As" "Bloopers". Close the project with out saving. Reopen the
project and edit out the bloopers, "Save".

nobody special
Saving the project with a different name doesn't require recreating any
files or taking up more HD space. Re-save the project under a new name,
make an edit removing the section that you don't want. done. Thi is th
epoint of "nondestructive" NLE editing: multiple versions of the
program based on the same footage, digitized just once. You are moving
pointers to the information, not the information itself.
