Use iMovie2 sound effects in iMovie3

Do you wonder where those old iMovie 2 sounds went? They're inside of the aplication package (control-click on the app and select Show Package Contents), in Contents -> Resources -> Sound effects.

Now the cool part is, you can add subfolders inside of the Sound Effects folder to place your own sounds into! I created a new subfolder titled "iMovie 2 Sounds" and then dropped in all of those great old sounds. I then added appropriately titled subfolders for my other sound file collections. I noticed no ill effects from doing this, excluding a couple of extra seconds at boot...

[Editor's note: This works exactly as described, and is quite cool! As I'm the paranoid sort, I actually copied the old sounds into the new folder instead of moving them. Sure enough, re-launch iMovie and there's the new folder with the "classic" sounds available.]
