When editing is done, the project needs to be exported in order to consolidate all the edits and create a single video file. Always retain a copy of your iMovie library, not just the exported video file. Return to iMovie to make any additional edits to the movie, and re-export when finished.

An iMovie library holds all the media and data used to make movies in iMovie. If your iMovie library is large and you want to free up storage space on your Mac, you can move your iMovie library to an external drive.

Before you move an iMovie library, it's a good idea to back up your Mac.

Moving your library to an external hard drive doesn't affect any iMovie Theater content you have moved to iCloud.

Prepare your drive

You can store your library on an external storage device such as a USB Thunderbolt drive formatted as APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Apple doesn't recommend storing iMovie libraries on external storage devices like SD cards and USB flash drives, or drives shared on a network.

You can't store your library on an external drive or other disk used for Time Machine backups.

When your external drive is connected to your Mac, the library you moved to the external drive opens automatically in iMovie. If you disconnect the external drive containing the library, iMovie opens to a new, empty library created in the Movies folder on your Mac. iMovie automatically saves any projects you create and media you import in the new library.

How To Export Imovie Project

If you want to open the library you moved to an external drive, you can open it after you reconnect the external drive. You can then move clips, events, and projects between libraries.
