Now you are able to eject your external storage and open it on a different computer. To open the copied project plug your external storage into a computer that has iMovie installed on it and then open the iMovie Library on your external storage by double clicking it. It will open up iMovie and your library will be there ready for you to edit. Figure 19. 8.
