This may be obvious, but i have just started using iPhoto to organise my small movies of various formats. I created a Smart Album with the following settings, and now I can view all my movies in my Library easily:
- Create a new Smart Album, call it 'Movies' or whatever you like
- Set the "Match" pop-up to "Any" of the following conditions.
- Create four conditions, each one set to "Filename" and "contains," and then the following extensions (with the dot), one per condition: .avi .mov .mp4 .mpg
You can, of course, add more extensions if you use other formats. Hope this helps someone else...
[robg adds: It may be obvious to many, but I hadn't thought to do it yet -- and I was just starting to get frustrated at finding the movies within my pile of photos. I also try to not mix the movies with my photos; I have now put all the movies together in their own rolls, separate from the photos. I just find it easier to manage the movies this way.]
