Q: Can't see newly created Photo albums
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this question should be in the "Photo" section, or in "Final Cut Pro X" area. Here is my issue: I do a lot of video editing for friends (anniversary slide shows etc.). I get the raw videos and pictures they want in the slideshow. I import the pictures into Photo and then make an album and drag the specific pictures into it. I have over 12,000 pictures in my library.
I then open up Final Cut and in the program (lower right, just above the timeline) I can open Photo, then locate the album I need to import from. For some reason, the new albums are not showing. I can see older albums I've created over the years, but not the new ones.
Could this be something to do with Photo vs. iPhoto? I never really paid any attention to the change from iPhoto to Photo since I do more video work than pictures. I just figured that Apple made a change and it's better to just go along with it instead of tilting against windmills.
It then causes me much pain to put the pictures into a folder on my desktop and then go back to FC and import from there. Any editing or enhancing to the pictures I did in Photo have to be re-done in FC. As it's not a photo editor, this just adds time and aggravation.
Please help. What am I doing wrong, and more importantly, how do I get to view my albums in FC so that I can import them?
thanx, Jack
