How can I keep my photos in sequence when I drag the Photos album into iMovie? I've changed the title in each photo to a number so when I export by title they stay in sequence.
iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.10
Thanks Rich. That worked perfectly. Another question. To number the photos in the album on Photos 5.0, I had to go in to each photo, click Get Info, then click Add Title. I then would put the sequential number in. Is there a way of numbering all the photos at the same time rather than one by one. I seem to remember in some older version, maybe in iPhoto, that I was able to do that.

Hi, 1LuckyJim,
Select the Library name in the iMovie media sidebar and do File/New Event. The New Event will appear in the sidebar. Drag the photos from the media browser into the New Event and select the event so that all the photos appear in the media browser. Then do View/Sort by/Name/Ascending. That will sort your clips in numerical order. Then select them all as a batch and drag them into your project timeline. The order will be preserved.

I'm not running Photos 5 on my Mac. In Photos 4, that I am using, you can select and File/Export x no. of items, choosing the Sequential option, and that will give you 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
I don't know if it works the same in Photos 5. If the above does not work for Photos 5 you might consider posting your question on the Photos for Mac forum. Here's the link:

Thanks again Rich. That seems to work in Photos 5 as well.
