Now I have two separate smart collections, one containing just my photos, and one containing just my video. However, you can set the criteria to locate only video clips or only audio clips.

Let’s edit the video smart collection by double-clicking, then choosing Media type from the menu. You can think of smart collections as saved searches based on the rules you define in the HUD. ![]() Choosing Stills imposes a strict filter on the collection so that only still images, in this case photos, appear whenever I select this collection in the event. From the rules popup in the upper right, choose “media type”, then chose “Stills” from the media menu. Let’s edit the Photos smart collection by double-clicking. I’ll press Option-Command-N to create a second smart collection and name it “Video”. I’ll name this smart collection “Photos”. Start by selecting the Event, then press Option-Command-N to create a smart collection. Using a few smart collections, I’m going to turn this chaos into order.
