Q: Fotos and imovie

Pictures from Fotos  will not shown completely under imovie

 

If I use imovie and look for all fotos from "Fotos App", I can only see a few

Even if I look for albums not all albums are shown under imovie and if I find the right album I miss under imovie some pictures

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Howdy peterfromalperstedt,

     

    I understand iMovie is not presenting you with all the pictures you have in Photos.

     

    Are you using iPhoto Library with Optimize Mac Storage enabled?

    If Media Browser doesn't show your entire Photos library - Apple Support

    This happens when you use iCloud Photo Library with the Optimize Mac Storage preference enabled.

    The Media Browser only shows photos that have the original image or a full-size preview stored on your Mac. You can make a photo temporarily available to the Media Browser by double-clicking on it. This will download the original to your Mac, where it will be available in the Media Browser until Photos optimizes it again to save disk space.

    If you want to make pictures in Photos permanently available in the Media Browser, follow these steps:

    1. Select File > New Album... from the Photos menu bar. Give the new album a name.
    2. Click on the pictures you want to make available in the Media Browser.
    3. Click the Add button.
    4. Click the Albums tab at the top of Photos and find the new album you created. 
    5. Control-click (or right-click) the album and select Download Originals to this Mac.

    This will download the full-resolution version of the pictures you selected to your Mac, making them permanently available in the Media Browser.

    Please let us know if that's it.
