I just got a 1 TB external USB3 drive and moved my 300gb iMovies events folder from my old iMac to it (over my lan, the USB drive is hooked to my RMBP). I then opened iMovie and it saw all the just imported events. So i closed iMovie and opened FCP X (10.0.5) and selected "Import iMovie Library." This took a while but worked. All the events showed up in FCP and clips would play fine.
So now on my 1 TB external I have 2 folders, the original iMovies events folder i moved over and now a FCP events folder. Both these folders are ~300GB but the 1 TB drive says it still has ~700GB free and that only ~300GB are used. Finder shows both folders as having 300GBs in each. Whats going on? I would like to delete the iMovie events folder but is the FCP events folder just symlinking to the iMovie files?
