Question

Folder vs album (moving pictures)

Within the organizer, how can I move or drag and drop pictures from an album into a video creation? I see how to do this from albums, but cannot figure out how to do this for pictures stored in folders. (This is when toggling back and fourth between album and folder within the organizer). I'd also be willing to move them from a folder into an album

    Albums don't contain any picture files. They are simple lists pointing to the items referenced in the catalog. Think about them as 'playlists' just like audio playlists. So, 'moving' is totally meaningless. You can use albums as selection tools, like selections from keywords or manual selections to 'select' files to be included in a video project. If you can include selected files in a 'video project', you can include files from an album. The advantage of albums over simple keywords is that they can have your own 'custom' sort order.
