I am trying to move my iMovie library to an external drive and following the instructions in this support article, Move your iMovie for Mac library – Apple Support (UK), it tells me to check this box is ticked. However, I cannot see this option...
MacBook Pro (2021)
I suspect that the option is missing because your USB drive is formatted ExFat, a Windows format. Reformat it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS and see if that cures the issue. One or the other of those formats is required for storing an iMovie library anyway. Be aware that reformatting the drive will delete all data on it. So before reformatting back up elsewhere any data that you want to keep.

iMovie libraries have to be on a disk formatted as APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled), not ExFAT.
Also, ExFAT doesn't support permissions, that's why you do not see the option to Ignore permissions.
Thanks Rich,
Spot on :~)
Thanks Martin,

Where is the option to “Ignore ownership on this volume” on my USB drive?
