iMovie 3.03 and non-HFS+ volumes
Authored by: navratil on May 07, '04 10:14:18AM
I can confirm.

90% done with a short movie on my hard drive, I run out of space. So I copy the entire thing over (using the finder) to a UFS-formated external hd. A few hours later, the movie's done. I render it a few times to a few different formats (including pure DV, so I have a high-quality copy of it), and quit the project.

I then realize that some of my text looks weird when I've burned a VCD, so I go back to fix it on my external hard drive. All of my changes since the move are gone. Oddly enough, the movie file in the iMovie project directory is correct -- it must be updated while-you-edit, or something -- but nothing else is.

Since I'd have to spend a few hours on it, I still haven't fixed that damn text.

iMovie 3.03 and non-HFS+ volumes
Authored by: sfernandes on May 08, '04 10:11:03AM

On a similar note (File formats) I too got an external drive and it was per-formated to FAT32. I just tried copying over some files to test it out and thought it unsually slow.
I then re-formated with two partitions in HFS+ and the drive definately handles quicker! I checked the documentation and yes, HFS+ is quicker then FAT32. You only need FAT32 if you wil SHARE the drive with a windows machine. Other wise re-format to HFS+.
