The Mac OS X iPhoto application can be used to catalogue videos as well as photos, and I know I have a lot of videos in amongst my 20,000-odd photos. But how to find them? Create a “Smart Album” with the criteria “Photo is Movie” (which seems to violate basic rules of physics, but it’s how it works):

What version of iPhoto is
What version of iPhoto is that in? I am running iPhoto version 6.0.6 and I don’t have a Photo option in the left hand drop-down box. Kind of depressing because I was really wanting to have an easy way to catalogue all of my video files.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank

if you set iphoto options to
if you set iphoto options to sort as : by keyword. It will separate your photos and videos in every Event in iphoto. As long as your photos and videos do NOT have keywords that you typed in personally, Each event will display your photos first and then at the end of your “Event” the videos in that section will be at the bottom.
Thank you so much - great

Thank you for that wonderful tip. Just spent all evening watching all the videos we took of our baby who was born 15 weeks premature - he came home a year ago today and is now doing great. I'd always had to search through 'events' to find them.

Good job, thanks!
But, does anyone know how i can get the videos to Apple TV2 ?? I can get the photos on TV2 okay but the videos don’t show up. They are MJPEG on iPhoto, & if i drop one to the desktop it becomes an AVI. I have ‘include videos’ selected on iTunes ‘Advanced’ > Choose Photos to Share’ but it makes no difference (I can get Movies ok) …. can’t drop these MPJEG or AVI files into iTunes.

The way I do it, which I hope
The way I do it, which I hope isn’t the only way, b/c IMO apple should have the Atv2 intuitively pick up all video when u have home sharing turned on in iTunes, is to drag the movies into “movies” under iTunes. Then, when I pull up “movies” under “computers” on the atv2 it has them mixed in. Like I said, this can’t possibly be the way it’s supposed to be done, but it works. If anyone has an automatic way, please share ;)

Thank you!! Now since all the video/movies have been isolated, is there a way I can delete them from the new smart album? For some reason I have a lot of duplicate videos and I would like to delete them but no matter which way I go about it, it won’t delete. I was thinking of selection all and then creating a new event of all the videos but after I did that, I don’t know where the event went… or if it was ever created! ANY TIPS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED!
WOW ! thanx so much for this

Great tip, thanks (and bummer that this isn’t built into iPhoto in a straightforward manner, as it is in Picasa) - came in handy as part of instructions for moving/copying/deleting all video clips managed by iPhoto - http://superuser.com/a/560320/…

Hi
I am not tech savvy at all so this tip was most helpful in finding all my video files.
Only one problem is I have taken videos since April but they are not appearing when I did this step. It seems to stop in April
Any ideas?
