Once one starts playing with iMovie, the main problem is about free space. It runs out very quickly. Too quickly, I would say. And the main issue is that you cannot put your projects on NAS. iMovie by default only allows you to use directly attached storage devices or your local drive.
Luckily there is a way. To enable NAS with iMovie, open Terminal application and run defaults write -app iMovie allowNV -bool true command.
Restart iMovie, now you are able to store and work with your project using NAS.
Tested with OSX 10.8.4 and bellow.

Thank you for your post! I'm curious, does the NAS have to be in a specific filesystem format? Or will it just see the NAS as an accessible drive even if it doesn't happen to be formatted in HFS+?
ReplyDeleteSure, all NAS solutions supporting OSX will work, not only ones based HFS+
DeleteOne more thing. NAS share should be mounted to your Max before you open iMovie :-)
