Viewing Your Source Video
Select the name of any Event you’ve created in the Event Library and take a look at the
video segments it contains. The video contained in your Events is called source video
because it always remains exactly as you imported it and will not be altered by any
editing you perform in iMovie. It serves as the source for video that you can use to
create movies.
Video clips appear like
“filmstrips” in the source
video library.
Event names are listed
in the Event Library,
separated into days.
Sort Events by hard disk.
