I just upgraded to iMovie 10.0.1, latest release and need to move my projects and events to an external attached hard drive.  i do not see any hard drive icons in this release.  How do I do this?

I just upgraded to OSX Mavericks and also the lastest release of iMovie.  The version says 10.0.1, but is it the latest release as of 10/14/2013.  I need to free up disc space on my iMac hard drive and move the contents of iMovie libraries to an attached external drive already functioning on my system.  I need to move both events and projects and keep all intact and related.  I have seen disc drives in the previous version of iMovie, but I do not in this one.  How do I move these items? I am in desperate need for disc space.

You can create a brand new Library under File Menu>Open Library>New...
Create the new library on the external hard drive. Then drag all the Events/Projects folders into that Library. Close the Library, quit iMovie 10.x. Now test the new Library by opening iMovie again and see that all the Events/Projects are there in the New Library. You can now safely delete or close the exisitng Library file as those are now duplicates of the real Library sitting on the external hard drive.
Another way to do this is find the exisitng Library file, and simply drag it to the external hard drive in the Mac Finder (disk to disk copy of the Library file, by drag and dropping). Then go back into iMovie, File Menu>Open Library>Other... then naivgate out to the external hard drive and choose the Library you moved within the Finder.
The new iMovie 10.x is much more friendly to use the Finder to run and gun and move stuff at will. It used to be the case the Library file had to be completely managed within iMovie and doing Finder copies would break them. Now it's more flexible in that it works the way most people used to think it should work (doing drag and drop in the Finder)
