Click the pop-up menu labeled “Where” and choose a folder to store your movie
project.
The default location is the Movies folder in your home folder. Saving your movie in this
folder will allow other iLife applications, such as iDVD or GarageBand, to find it easily.
5
Click Create.
A new project file for your iMovie HD project is created in the location you chose.
Eventually it will contain all the video clips, transitions, effects, and audio used in your
movie.
