My Albums in iMovie does not show my Photos albums

In trying to access media to load into an iMovie project, I click My Media, then Libraries > Photos, and then My Albums. However, I do not get a list of my albums. I see only (some) of the pictures in one album, and I cannot change to a different album. How can I see all my Photos albums?

iMac 27″, macOS 14.6

Hi,


First, make sure that the Photos library that you are trying to access is designated as the system photo library in the Photos app general preferences.


It looks to me that you have one album open, thereby showing all of the pics in that album, but not displaying all of the other albums.


Look at the top of the libraries pane. You should see My Albums shown as selected. Just to the right of that should be the words All My Albums. It will look like it is grayed out. Click on All My Albums and that will reveal all of your albums.
