Movies in iPhoto library

Question

I have 3 movies in my iPhoto library that I would like to delete. I know they exist because they're listed in the information box about the iPhoto library. However, they do not show in any folder or album I have unless I use that folder/album as my desktop pictures. How do I find these movies so I can delete them?

Hi sauble,
All that info can be found within iPhoto by hitting the "Help" in the menu bar.
You would then put your search term in the search bar and hit "enter" on your keyboard.
Doing a search for "keywords" comes up with this info:
Creating or changing keywords
You can create your own keywords by editing the Keywords list in iPhoto Preferences. Once you add a keyword, you can assign it to any photo you choose.
WARNING: Editing a keyword in iPhoto Preferences changes that keyword in any photos to which you've assigned it.
To add a new keyword to the Keywords list:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click the Keywords button at the top of the window.
Click Add (it looks like a plus sign).
Type your new keyword.
To rename an existing keyword, double-click the keyword in the Keywords list, then type a new name. Or you can select the keyword and press Return, then rename it.
To delete a keyword from the Keywords list, click the keyword, and then click Delete (it looks like a minus sign).
Note: You can reorder the keywords in the Keywords list by selecting a keyword and dragging it to the position you prefer. This also changes the order of keyword buttons in the Keywords pane.
Assigning keywords to a photo
Keywords are labels you can add to your photos so you can easily find all the photos in a specific category.
You can also mark photos with a checkmark, which makes it easy to flag all the photos you want to use for a specific project, such as a book, and quickly find them later.
To assign keywords or checkmarks:
Select the photo or photos you want to keyword.
Choose Photos > Get Info.
Click the Keywords button at the top of the Photo Info window.
Select the keyword or keywords you want assigned to the photo.
Selecting the checkmark button adds a checkmark to the lower-right corner of a photo's thumbnail.
You can also add keywords to a photo by dragging the photo onto a keyword in the Keywords pane. To view the Keywords pane, click the Keywords button (shown above).
To remove a keyword from a photo, select the photo, choose Photos > Get Info, click the Keywords button at the top of the Photo Info window, and deselect the keywords you want removed. You can also remove a keyword by pressing the Option key and dragging the photo onto the keyword in the Keywords pane.
You can also change the available keyword selection by creating new keywords and renaming or deleting existing ones in the Keywords list in iPhoto Preferences.
Finding photos by keyword or checkmark
You can quickly find any photo by searching for one or more of its keywords or a checkmark.
To find photos that contain a specific keyword or a checkmark:
Select the Library icon or select an album, slideshow, book, or calendar that contains the photos you want to search.
Click the Keywords button (shown above).
Do one or more of the following:
To display photos that contain a specific keyword or a checkmark, click the keyword or checkmark in the Keywords pane. Keywords and checkmarks you display are highlighted in blue.
To display photos marked by different keywords (such as photos with either the "Birthday" or "Kids" keyword), click the keywords in the Keywords pane while holding down the Shift key. Keywords you choose are highlighted in purple.
To hide photos that contain a specific keyword or a checkmark, click the keyword or checkmark in the Keywords pane while pressing the Option key. Keywords and checkmarks you hide are highlighted in red.
Note: If a photo contains multiple keywords and you hide one of those keywords, the photo will not be displayed in your search results, even if it contains a keyword you want displayed. For example, if you choose to display photos that contain "Family" and hide photos that contain "Birthday," a photo with both "Family" and "Birthday" will not appear in your search results.
To display all photos again after you've finished a search, click the Reset button.
Displaying titles, keywords, film rolls, and ratings in the iPhoto window
When viewing your photo library or an album, you can choose whether to show each photo's title, any keywords you've assigned to the photo, which film roll the photo was imported with, or the photo's rating. (You can only display film rolls in the photo library or when viewing photos on a CD or DVD.)
To display information about a photo:
Choose View.
Choose one of the following:
Titles
Keywords
Film Rolls
My Rating
You can also rearrange photos by dragging them, or by sorting them by film roll, date, title, or rating.
