Separating Photos and Videos in Aperture 3

I am on the ongoing project of getting all of my hundreds of GB of photos/videos organized. On my external drive, I have created a folder "Digital Pictures" and all of my referenced images are all nice and organized just the way I want them. However, most of my projects also have videos in them, so there is no easy way to ONLY look at my videos. What I want to do is on my external create "garrettborden>Videos>2014"..etc. Is there an easy way to separate all of my videos in Aperture and move them to this new folder on my external drive (I am a very organized person!)?


I am also wondering if it would be better to just keep all of my photos in Aperture, and all videos in iMovie? This is all so confusing with 800+ GB of media. I have been wanting to organize this for a LONG time. There are just so many questions I have and I know that they are probably very easy fixes!


If there is any better way to do this or if anyone has any good suggestions for how I should go about this, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi Garrett.


Just the same way you did for the pictures.


Select 'Photos' in the Library inspector to show everything.


Then go to the filter/search at the top right of the viewer and add a filter for "File Type" "Is" "Video". this will reduce the full list to just the video.


CMD+A to select them all, then "File->Relocate Originals" like you did before.


If you only want the folder For /2014<event> rather than /2014/01/<event> change the Subfolder Format preset like before but exclude the "Month" from the format line.
