This is a little known, but very handy tip that you can use whenever you want to hide your files and folders for whatever reason (e.g. the files have valuable financial info, you don’t want anyone else who uses your computer to see them, etc.). It’s very easy to do, but I still felt the need to do a video about it. I also added the text below the video in case you prefer to read.

Here is the video!

I know this may be a simple task, but this feature is kind of hidden.

If you start a project in iMovie ‘09, don’t do anything with it, and then go back into iMovie ‘09 later, you’ll be working under the same project name that you just created, not a new one. It saves whatever you’ve been working on automatically, which is great. That way you don’t lose your work. You just have to be aware of what project you are adding to when you go back into the program.

If you are starting a new project and you’ve already been working on some projects in iMovie in the past, then you need to go to FILE>NEW PROJECT and name the new project. Then any work that you do from that point on will be saved in that new project.

However, you may have already started to work on the project under a project name that you created earlier, but didn’t do anything with. If that’s the case, then you’ll want to rename the project to what you are currently working on.

Here’s how:

In this video, I talk about video that I did that shows you how to charge your RAZR V3 cell phone via a USB connection with your computer. That way you can be anywhere, even on the beach, and still be able to charge your RAZR. It also comes in very handy if you travel a lot. If you ever lose your charge, it’s a hassle to get another one, and it’s not cheap either.

Also in the video, I show you how to TRIPLE the amount of text messages that the phone can store. This is very valuable, because out of the box, the V3 can only handle around 30 text messages. And once it goes over that, it LITERALLY beeps EVERY 10 SECONDS telling you your inbox is full. I had that happen, and boy was that annoying.

I also offer a BONUS as well.

Check it out below:
