Still... Sound Effects Where?!

[David]

Sorry to be thick...

But I can't make my own sound effects folder show up in iMovie 3 (dual 
USB iBook, Jaguar). I created a "Sound Effects" folder in the Library 
for iMovie and placed it in the "Plug-ins" folder. No luck. Can someone 
post the recipe for this struggling newbie? And I was hoping to make 
one folder with all my sound effects to be used by all users on this 
computer, not duplicating folders for each user or importing all sound 
effects into iTunes (a workaround).

Thanks,
-DC
