What is a .IMOVIELIBRARY file?
The .IMOVIELIBRARY file extension is used for a special type of file called an iMovie Library File. This kind of file is created and used by a video editing software called iMovie, specifically version 10 and later versions. Think of an iMovie Library File like a big folder that holds all the pieces of your video projects when you're using iMovie to edit videos.
Inside this big folder, or library, there are smaller folders that are organized by date. These contain files known as IMOVIEEVENT files, along with other folders that have all the bits and pieces of your video projects. These bits and pieces can include video clips (which might be in .MOV format), sound clips (like .MP3 files), and pictures (such as .JPG files). Because it can hold so many different types of media files, the size of an .IMOVIELIBRARY file can get pretty big.
To open and work with an .IMOVIELIBRARY file, you need to use the iMovie software, specifically version 10 or newer. When you're in iMovie, there's a view or mode called "Library" view. When you switch to this view, iMovie will show you all the content that's stored inside your .IMOVIELIBRARY file. This is where you can see all your video events and projects that you've been working on.
You'll typically find the .IMOVIELIBRARY file in a folder called "Movies" that's in the user directory on your computer. This is the default place where iMovie likes to save your work, making it easier for you to find and manage your video editing projects.
