iMovie hack

so i was having trouble with a video in imovie recently. it wouldn’t export the video past the first few frames. i was at a loss. i did notice that it appeared my movie setting had been set on the isight webcam the entire time. i thought this may have had something to do with it but had no clue how to change it. in an act of desperation i copied the imovie file and changed the extension to .mov and voila! for some reason doing this created a folder and allowed me to navigate and find the video. incredible!
