Photos/FCPX/Catalina

Yes, I see My Albums.

However, it only contains what the Photos App calls Albums. The Media Types can be seen within FCP X along with My Albums:

The All section within FCP X is greyed out and will not operate.

A works around is to copy/paste all my images from the Photos section into an Album I create in My Albums:

Copy/Paste is only a workaround as it looses the ability to dynamically update when new stuff is added to Photos. Previous versions would update automatically and could be seen within FCP X with no user intervention.

I will double check my squeaky clean Catalina install as well.

Last time I was using it, the same behaviour was noted.

Are you using iCloud Photos Library? Did you relaunch after you updated Photos?

For clarity here is another screen shot:

I copy all images etc. in the section marked Photos.

Then paste into Albums>FCP X Album. FCP X Album is manually created.

The red box indicates the only things that FCP X can recognise.

in previous FCP X versions the Photos section would appear within FCP X automatically.

Seems to me an internal link is not working as it did.

Going to hard to trace if it can’t be reproduced. You should report it to feedback.

Thanks for that Tom.

Unfortunately after double checking, my system does not work as expected.

Still stuck in the Albums only rut.

I also have another boot disc with a totally clean Catalina install to test.

I will report back if that shows newly added files.

You’re still not getting recent additions to My Albums? And you’re not using iCloud Photos Library?

I can’t reproduce the problem. I don’t use a lot of smart albums to organize my images, which are all in My Albums.

Recent images, like today, that are added to one of my albums are appearing as expected.

You don’t see My Albums Al?

This seems to be a bug.

It has been reported, so use FCP X feedback to make your voice heard:

I cannot get the full Library from the Photos app to appear in the FCP X Browser
