Hey.
So, I'm learning about this video editing, and made my first movie with iMovie. Having fun, and will be progressing further.
I have 30+ hours of tape to dump to disk. I am researching some external drives, as I only have a 12" iBook (for now).
My question has to do with storage and organizing of the clips that I dl from camera. What I would like to do is just have an organized repository of clips (from all 30+ miniDV tapes), and then be able to make a new movie using any clips in this repository.
Is there any 'best' way to go about this, or any advice you have. Assume I have a 1TB FW800 drive to dump this all on.
As I have only created one movie with iMovie, I'm fairly new to this. When I created this movie, I imported clips from camera into movie, and everything worked fine. Going forward though, I do not want to be restricted to using only clips from tape that I improted for that movie, etc....
Thanks in advance!
