CHAPTER 13: iLights! iCamera! iAction!: Using iMovie 277
A Quick Word about Events
iMovie uses an Event Library to keep track of the movies you??™ve imported. The Event
Library organizes your movies into Events that can easily be browsed to find the clips you
need. For example, when you import video from a Christmas family gathering sometime in
the future, you could create an Event called ???Christmas 2009.??? The Christmas 2009 Event
would appear in your Event Library, ready for viewing or adding to a new iMovie project.
