I am looking for the equivalent of the Magic Movie feature in iMovie for iOS, but I need it on the Mac. I recently got a MacBook Air and have about 50k pictures and movies and would like to find a way to have something quickly create videos for me. For example, I want to select the photos and videos from Christmas and have it automatically create a video for me. Does this exist?
iMovie for Mac does not have the Magic Movie feature. However, the 10.3.2 and 10.3.5 iMovie for Mac updates allow import of Magic Movie projects from iMovie iOS, including iPad.

iMovie for Mac has no comparable feature to Magic Movie. Nor am I aware of an app that has a feature comparable to Apple's iOS Magic Movie. There may be some apps out there, but I am just not aware of any. I did a brief internet search but without success. You may be able to dig a little deeper and come up with something.
Using Mac iMovie you could try arranging your photos and videos in some logical order in a Photos app album, and then do a File/Export of the clips, using the Sequence format, to a folder on your desktop. Then drag the clips into an iMovie project. They will keep the sequence that you applied. And then do some minimal editing. You can apply a cross dissolve transition to the project (Edit/Add Cross Dissolve). Add a title, Ken Burns effect . . . . .etc. Not as fast as doing it with Magic Movie but might be doable.
You also could look into purchasing an iPhone or iPad that has iMovie 3 on it, or available to download. Or perhaps borrowing a friend's iPhone or iPad.

I guess that is kind of my point. I do not have an iPhone so I am looking for a similar solution on the Mac. All of my content is stored on a hard drive.
