Q: How do I use videos stored in a shared album to create a movie?

I would like to use videos of my now one year old child shared by family members on our shared album to create a movie in imovie. How does one use videos stored to shared albums to create a movie?

 

Thanks!

    Hi coloradonat,

     

    If you would like to save a local copy of a video from a Shared Album for use in iMovie, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:

     

    Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared album?

    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared album can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.

    • On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to your Photos tab or Camera Roll.
    • In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
    • On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared album to any folder.
    • On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.
