Sorting pictures from oldest to newest in iMovie
How can I get my pictures to sort correctly in chronological order in iMovie. I'm trying to put a slideshow/video together of a monthlong trip. My workflow is as follows.
1) Read all pictures into Photos. These pictures were taken by 2 iPhones and a Canon.
2) Created a Smart Album.
3) I sorted the pictures by camera "iPhone 6S" and dates the pictures were taken, so I could easily isolate one town at a time.
4) In Photos, I sorted the photos by oldest first.
5) I chose all the best pictures and tagged them as Favorites. Thereby getting my 1000 pictures down to 170.
6) I opened iMovie and started a new project.
7) I dragged the pictures from Photos to "Import Media".
8) All the pictures came in, but NOT in the correct order. Not sure why the order set in "Photos" is not imported along with the pictures.
9) I sorted the pictures using iMovie menus. The order is definitely NOT in order from oldest to newest.
10) I then tried creating an Event first in iMovie.
11) Then sorted the Events
12) My last attempt was to sort the Events by Days using the iMovie menus.
Still not in the correct order. iMovie acually put in todays date with pictures that had been edited in Photos, I guess?
It's a bit maddening as I can look at the meta-data in Photos and see the dates each picture was taken, and they are sorted perfectly in Photos. Seems so basic and simple.
Sorry for the long winded-ness, but trying to be clear. Perhaps I should just use a real editing program?
