Jun 4, 2015 11:32 AM in response to vjdjrby GeeD,iMovie only has access to the designated 'system library' in Photos. See:
Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
for how to make an existing library the system library.

Jun 4, 2015 1:36 PM in response to GeeDby vjdjr,Yes, my system library is correct. The albums I created are within the system library. I just don't want to weed through the hundreds of photos in that library when they're all nicely kept within a single album. iMovie has no knowledge of the albums within the library?

Jun 4, 2015 1:42 PM in response to vjdjrby GeeD,Hmm. I don't use Photos (or iPhoto) myself so I can't help you any further (in most cases the problem has been the photos not being in the system library).
Anyone else?
Geoff.

Jun 9, 2015 9:26 PM in response to vjdjrby ksimpson3,★HelpfulI posted separately about this same issue...
The albums you listed (All Photos, Last Import...) are under "Albums" in the drop-down list. There is also an option for "My Albums" which I assume means the custom Albums I've created. When I select that option, only one of my Albums appears in the 'browser' area of iMovie, and the rest of my 20+ albums are nowhere to be seen.
I can confirm that I'm connected to the correct library. The one Album that appears in iMovie is staying up-to-date with changes made in Photos. This evening I added a couple photos to that Album and there they are in iMovie. But only the one Album...

Jul 21, 2015 2:17 AM in response to Matt Maby bobtheblob,I can't access anything when I click on Photos Library. It worked a couple of weeks ago.

Jul 29, 2015 11:50 PM in response to bobtheblobby Matt Ma,Not sure which part of the following did the trick, but something made it work (seems kind of random):
1. In iMovie, under "My Albums," I made a note of which albums did show up. Many of these were old albums that I didn't need.
2. Quit iMovie.
3. Open Photos.
4. Find the albums that I had noted, and delete the ones that I didn't need.
5. Quit Photos.
6. Open iMovie.
7. Navigate back to "My Albums" under Photos Library. All my albums have magically appeared.

Feb 26, 2016 7:42 AM in response to Matt Maby TheRealRusty,Seems to be a problem with iMovie allowing album refreshes. I have the same problem in iMovie 10.1 - if iMovie is open and I add photos to Photos (did Apple not see the inherent confusion naming a product with such a common generic name like Photos?) I need to quit iMovie and then relaunch if I want to see the new photos in iMovie. There needs to be a refresh button or script that keeps your media updated in iMovie as you work with it in other Apple products.
