Moving iMovie folder to external drive?

[Soundhound]

I've been using my internal drive for iMovie files, but have been doing a lot more with the program recently and the folder has gotten quite large. I'd like to move it to my main external drive (a Drobo). Anybody know if there's a way to do this correctly, from within the iMovie program, to insure that it knows where all the files are? (rather than just moving the folder manually etc.) Is there a setting preferences for example, where it tells it where to store the files etc?

Thanks!

thanks so much! One other question if I could? Will iMovie know to look in that external drive once I erase the events from the internal and select a project that uses files that used to be on the internal?

It should, as you used iMovie to transfer the footage onto the external HDD and thus the proper links should be intact. But as I don't use iMovie, I don't know for sure.
