integration imovie/iphoto

I created an album in iPhoto putting all the pictures I need in the sequence I need them. Now I would like to access to this album in iPhoto for creating a new video, but... I can see this album in iMovie but the pictures and video in it are not in the same order as I see them in iMovie...

Any ideas?

Others on this forum have posted that the order of their album photos does not carry over from the Photos app to iMovie.


The workaround is, from the Photos app, to select the Album photos as a group and then Export the selected album photos (File/Export __ No. of photos) from the Photos app to a folder on the Mac desktop, using the Sequential file name setting.



The photos will be in the same order in your desktop folder as they were in the Photos album. Now drag the photos as a group into the iMovie timeline and the order will be preserved.
