iPhoto Videos II

Yesterday, I sat with iPhoto open, and was trying to organise some (by some I mean a few thousand) photos of my beautiful daughter. As my wife and I have been snapping away, we’ve also been shooting videos as we go. I’m thinking of compiling a set of movies out of these videos, but trying to find them in amongst thousands of photos is a nightmare of Spielberg proportions. So what to do?

Simple. Go to File > New and choose Smart Album.

From the next window,

give your Smart Album a name, and choose “Photo is Movie” as I have done above. Click on OK, and you will have a smart album with all the videos you have shot.

Of course, this will pull in all the videos you have collected in iPhoto. So you could refine the Smart Album by clicking on the Plus sign on the right, and adding a few more things to narrow the album down to those just of a certain date, event or even a face from your collection. Once the Smart Album is made, you can simply drag the videos you want out of that Album in other Albums.
