What is the best way to automatically create a movie from my iPhoto videos?
When I first started using a Mac almost 6 years ago iMovie had a mode (automovie?) where I could just throw a folder at it and it would create a movie from all the photos and videos. This was a great way for someone with no time to create a family video.
Now I'm trying to do basically the same thing with iMovie '09 and iPhoto and can't figure out the best way.
I want an all-Apple or free solution to just taking all the videos from my iPhoto library and putting them into a movie in chronological order. I really won't want to spend hours dragging and dropping clips into a movie (either on my Mac or on the iPad in iMovie or Avid Studio).
What is the best way to do this?
EDIT: I realized I have iMovie '09 not '11 as first reported so that might change the technique. In the bottom left of iMovie I do see an entry labeled iPhoto Videos but it is always empty.
-
Open the iPhoto Library.
Click Create → Movie and select No Theme.
Select the photos/videos.

Press E.
All the photos and videos will be added sequentially to the timeline.
Export your timeline normally.
