Sorting movies in iPhoto smart album

I created an album of our summer vacation which includes photos and video clips.  I would like to separate out the video clips and stitch them together.  Either in iMovie or otherwise.   Any thoughts on how to separate out the movies?  I tried the New Smart Album > Keyword > is > movie.  It sorted my whole library, not just the album (and I did have all photos/clips selected). 
And then, how best to stitch them together?  iMovie or is there a function in iPhoto?
Any thoughts are appreciated.  Thank you.

In your summer album flag just the video clips.  Use the Events ➙ New Event from Flagged Photos to create a new event of just those flagged video clips (assuming you have no other flagged photos).
Or give the video clips in the summer album a star rating and use a smart album:  Keyword is Movie and Rating is XX.

    You need a larger drive or an external drive - they OS needs a minimum of 10GB just for normal operation so you are already experiancing degraded preformance - if yo do not get more space you will start losing data
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Screensaver not showing all photos in an iPhoto smart album

    Got a weird problem here, done some searching around but can't find a fix.
    I have created a smart album in iPhoto 11. This correctly displays 95 photos across multiple events, based on a string match to the event name.
    However, if I use this smart album for a desktop or screensaver, it only displays 8 photos, all from the oldest event that is in the smart folder.
    Anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

    Is Aperture the only app being affected? How does your desktop look? Have you rebooted your systems since this started happening? What is your display setting in System Preferences?
    If it's only affecting Aperture its most likely the plist file ~/Library/Preference/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
    You should move that to the desktop and restart Aperture. Not sure what file you deleted but moving the plist file won't remove any images from the library. Also take a look at the rest o the troubleshooting tips in [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]

  • IPhoto smart albums as screensaver/ desktop

    I have a smart album of all my skydiving pictures in iPhoto '08 which I want to use as a source for all my desktop and screensaver pics. The album appears in the desktop preferences, but not the screensaver prefs (problem 1), the desktop is set to change every minute but with over a thousand photos, it's definitely weighted to a small subset of those (problem 2)
    Any guesses on how to get the screensaver running from the smart album?
    Any reason why the 'random' selection from a 1000+ photos for my desktop keeps showing the same ones?

    Let’s try and reset that sharing feature in iPhoto. TO do this we’ll need to move a file out of the Library and iPhoto will then be forced to re-create it.
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called AlbumData.xml
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Launch iPhoto.
    Give it a few moments to regenerate the file.
    The Launch the SystemPreferences.

  • Can't move photos to smart album

    I have created a smart album based on face recognition, But I am falling to move new photos to the album by dragging them or by copying them.
    Also, I can't see the album name when choosing "albums" from the "add to" button.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Using iPhoto version 11.
    Thanks,
    Amnon

    No idea. What is the smart album criteria? Do the new photos match it?
    We can not see you or your computer so you have to supply the details

  • IPhoto Smart Album works with Desktop, fails with Screen Saver

    I've created a Smart Album in iPhoto, with my 5-star photos in it, calling it "My Favorites". In iPhoto, there are 116 photos right now. When I go to my Desktop settings, I see all the photos in "My Favorites".
    When I go to Screen Saver, I get 5 of the photos in that Smart Album. I've got other Smart Albums, some with thousands in them, and they seem to display just fine.
    I've deleted and re-created "My Favorites", even using a different name. I still get the same results.
    Any ideas why Desktop would work, but Screen Saver won't, with the exact same Smart Album? How can I troubleshoot this?

    As the Desktop section is working, I would guess the problem is with the ScreenSaver. Try trash the ScreenSaver cache and see if that helps.
    Thanks.
    The only cache I found was ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine/Cache.db. Removing that had no effect; might this have been the wrong one, and if so, where is the right one?

  • Iphoto-smart album

    I can create a smart album...but as a newbie...I can't seem to get the pictures I want into the "smart album"..I think I don't know how to do the batch change thing or what to do....perhaps someone smart can help a novice...sorry & thanks!!

    edgewater5061:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That are the criteria for the pictures you want to be in the smart album and how are you setting them?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Creating iPhoto smart album with criteria based on another smart album

    When I create Smart Playlists in iTunes, I can set one of the criteria to include/exclude items based on a different smart playlist.
    For example,
    Smart Playlist 1=all songs by artist a, b, c, d, etc.
    Smart Playlist 2=all songs where "genre=Holiday"
    Smart Playlist 3=all songs that are in "Smart Playlist 1", but are NOT in "Smart Playlist 2".
    This same concept doesn't seem to work in iPhoto. While it does seem to work if I'm basing them on regular albums, the "Album is xxxx" criteria option doesn't seem to even list Smart Albums.
    Am I missing something or am I not even allowed to use Smart Albums as a criteria for other smart albums?

    You’re not missing anything.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

  • Iphoto smart albums failed to import

    did anyone else have this problem? my albums came in fine, and i have about a billions "rolls" but none of my smart albums came in. what gives?

    If you edit an image in iPhoto, the app places the original image in an "Original" folder, and saves an edited copy. Further work is done on the edited copy, the Original is not touched.
    When Aperture imports an iPhoto Library, does it import the Original image, the Current image, or both?
    From the manual I suspect it only imports the Current Image, so the Original image would then be lost.
    Can someone test and confirm?

  • Lost iphoto smart albums

    Hello,
    I don't use iPhoto daily and so just realized I have lost my many smart albums. Not sure if it happened during an operating system upgrade, a migration (got a new computer) or a iphoto upgrade.
    Must needed, each album is actually a patient (medical field)... many¡¡¡
    Iphoto 9.5.1
    OS X 10.9.5

    Here's a possible solution if you're unable to restore the smart albums any other way.
    1 - rename your current library to something other than it is now, like iPhoto Library Old or whatever.
    2 - copy the library from  your old laptop to the Pictures folder on the new iMac.
    3 - get the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager and use it to merger the renamed library into the library from the laptop. iPLM can be set to not import duplicates.
    This should give you a library with the smart albums and any new photos.  Once you've confirmed that the merged library is complete and working correctly you can delete the renamed library.

  • Iphoto smart album help

    Is it possible to create a smart album that will find all photos of two specific people and no one else? I am hoping to create an album that contains only photos of my two children, together, with no other people… not sure how to set it up. Thanks.

    Not really - you can make one for all rules with photo contains each of the the two people and additional rules photos does not contain each of the other names - but even then it will not eliminate photos with people who have not been identified
    Suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback - maybe it will influence Photo next year

  • Changing Sort Order in Smart Album when Looking for Roll Name=Corruption

    We've confirmed via testing and from new posters that changing the sort order in a Smart Album who's criteria is to look for a roll name will cause iPhoto to crash and then crash upon launch after that.
    So to avoid corrupting your library do not change the sort order of a Smart Album designed to locate rolls.
    The thread discussing this is:
    IPhoto keeps on crashing, cannot use it
    Rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager recovered the library. However, I don't know if a rebuild via the Control+Option key will do the same.
    G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 22 Display, 250G HD, 200G FW HD, QT 7.0.4P   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, 2G Nano

    Ha! I upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.3 and opened the dummy library I had created. (This was the library where the crash on launch kept happening because I had a smart folder looking for rolls and sorted by title or something else other than the default.)
    Guess what, it opened just fine! 6.0.3 fixes the crash. Not sure how much it helps people who started new libraries, but at least others won't run into this.

  • Smart Albums iPhoto Ver. 6

    When looking at photo thumbnail view of a smart album have noticed the performance is very poor (slow). Also noticed when paging the thumbnail resolution is not clear (fuzzy). If dbl_click a photo to edit, click done, the screen repaints and the thumbnail is clear...page(scroll) and the thumbnail is fuzzy.
    Also, if a photo is selected, can't page past the selected photo.
    Also, when creating a album (regular or smart), the pop-up window to name the album comes up but my mac is very slow to respond to typing. I type the name, but it takes several seconds for the characters to appear.
    If I create just an Album with the same pics in it, everything seems fine.
    I have rebuilt the photo thumbs and the library and have less than 500 pics 95% smaller than 1.5 MB each.
    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks for the quick response....
    I have the following config:
    iMac G5 2.1Ghz PowerPC, 1GB 533 DDR2 SDRAM
    I am pretty certain it is not a problem with the config...here is why.
    I created a test smart album with one criteria line MyRating is **, everything seemed fine. I added a second criteria Album is <specific album>, everything is fine.
    I move the test smart album under a folder (folder also contains the <sepcific album> being used in the second criteria, everything seems fine. I remove the second criteria statement, i get fuzzy images and can't scroll past selected image.
    I move the test smart album out of the folder, and the images immediately go from fuzzy to clear and scrolling is fine. I add the second criteria, everything is fine.
    I have other smart albums under other folders and they seem to be fine, the difference being one criteria statement looking for specific keywords vs looking inan album in the same folder and having two criteria.
    I am going to do some further testing and will post any new info.
    Any thoughts? thanks again.

  • Sorting photos on iPhoto by device

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with sorting photos on iPhoto on a MacBook Air. I have synced photos from two separate iPhone 5 devices that were under the same iCloud account and I would like to sort them by the devices. I cannot exactly remember which photos are from which device and I cannot used the Smart Album method as they are both iPhone 5 cameras
    I do not mind how tedious it is as long as it gets the job done! Thank you very much

    No - you can not do that in iPhoto (or probably in any software) - in iPhoto smart albums can collect photos by camera type but not by specific device - on by camera type
