iMovie: Manage Storage and Edit Across Two Devices – MacRumors Forum Discussion

Hello everyone,

I’m relatively new to iMovie and am looking to edit some videos I have. However, my 2020 MacBook Air has limited internal storage of just 256GB, while my video files total around 500GB.

Currently, these files are stored on an old 2013 iMac running macOS Catalina, which I primarily use for basic storage and tasks. My goal is to edit these videos using iMovie on my MacBook Air while keeping the files stored on the iMac.

I would like to know if this is feasible, and if so, what steps I need to take to achieve this setup. Thank you for your assistance!
