I want to create a slide show of paintings with a musical background. My "paintings" are in jpeg format in iPhoto, and my musical track is in either Garage Band or iTunes. When I access iMovie to start a project, it doesn't show any way to import photos from iphoto, but only those photos taken using "Photo Booth".
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
If you click on windows and then click Go to Media you should find iPhoto library under Libraries. You can then open an event and select a photograph.
Are you using iPhoto or Photos for Mac?
iMovie will show you the iPhoto Library in the Media section as shown in the screenshot by OT, and also the Photos Library, provided the Photos Library has been enabled as the System Photo Library. Check the Photos Preferences > General. The option "Use as System Photo Library" should be grayed out. If it is not, click it, then restart both Photos and iMovie.
When I choose "photos" as you've suggested, I am still only getting the few photos available in Photo Booth. I tried to enable "Use as a System Photo Library" as "Leonie" had suggested below, but no amount of clicking seems to produce results. My iPhoto version is 1.0.1. My iMovie version is 8.0.6.

That is the problem. You are not using iPhoto any longer - the version number 1.0.1 is indicating you are using Photos for Mac. You need a newer iMovie version to be compatible with Photos for Mac. Upgrade to iMovie 10.1.2 to be able to see the Photos Library in iMovie.
Are you sure your iPhoto version is as you say? Mine is 9.6.1! So as previously you must be using Photos which I dont use at all. Hopefully you will be OK with an updated iMovie package...
Thanks much! Will give it a go...
