Cannot see MBL Public folder in IMovie

Ok, I need help!  I have backed up movies onto MBL into Public Folder (under Shared Movies & IMovie Events).  I can see the folders and open in Finder (movies play on Quicktime).  But when I try and view (to eventually edit and create movies) in IMovies, under Event Library there is a folder is showing Public but with yellow triangle box with a question mark!

How do get the Public folder to show the contents??

You can’t. iMovie doesn’t support network drives.

There are “hacks” out there on the net about symlinks, which you can find via google…
