I want to add photos to iMovie 10.1.13. Apple support says the photos library should have a drop down for years, months etc. just like the structure in photos.
all I have is albums, my albums and one other..
I am running the latest Catalina version.
any idea how I can fix this?
thanks

From what I have seen, iMovie with Photos 5 no longer has the drop down for years, months, places, etc. Photos 5 has completely restructured its organization, and that likely is the cause of it. iMovie with Mojave (Photos 4) would have the drop downs, and that’s probably what Apple support was referring to.

Actually, you can drag the photo directly from your Photos app library into an iMovie project without going to your desktop. Open the Photos app library and your iMovie project at the same time so they are side by side on the screen and drag in the photo. At least, it works that way on my setup, that is using Photos 4 (Mojave) and iMovie 10.1.12. I think that with Photos 3 you had to first drag to your desktop. In any event, test it out for yourself and see.

It is weird in that the years, months, places structure is no much a part of Photos 5
Glad to know it isn't me tho

Stupid question. How do we use photos w iMovie if we can’t see our photo library ?
You can drag the photo from the Photos app to your desktop and from there drag it into the time line of an iMovie project.
