In this post I’ll show you how to store your home movies in iCloud, in order to make them available on all your Mac’s and iOS devices.
The only software you need is and , both of them freely downloadable from the App Store. The iMovie feature you are going to use is .
To move the home videos stored on your hard-drive into iMovie and make them available on iCloud follow these steps:
- Open iMovie
- Click on the Theater tab on top of the screen
- Drag your home videos from a Finder window to iMovie
- Let your Mac consolidate its library and upload the movies to iCloud. This could take a while depending on your broadband speed.
- Go to any other device you own and open iMovie. In the Theater section you will see the videos you uploaded in the previous steps.
The catch here is that you can only upload movies up to 15 minutes long. In my experience that is more than enough but be aware of this limitation in case you want to upload longer videos.
