'nuther (simple) iMovie '08 question...

[jvencius]

Now that I have all my clips imported and a project made up, how do I save it? Command-S doesn't seem to do anything and I didn't see a "Save Project" option in the File menu.😕

I've never used iMovie '08, but from what I've seen, it's set up like iPhoto and iTunes, not like GarageBand or iMovie '06. In other words, you're working with a library of clips (or music or photos) not a project like GB that is independent.

I'm just a bit concerned, though, that when I close iMovie, the edits/transitions/etc... that I made today will be lost since I didn't see an auto-save window, nor is there a manual-save option for the effects I added.😕

Can anyone help with this? I've got a nice little movie made but I don't want to lose all the time I've put into it so far by having all the effects/transitions/etc... get lost.😕

Never mind--I figured it out.😀

Just to answer the question in case someone wants to know, iMovie '08 saves every time you make a change so there is no explicit reason to save.
