How to move all iPhoto video files to an external disk or a NAS?

Question

The main harddrive of my MacBook Pro is filling up. So I need to move some files to an external medium.

I use iPhoto to import my photos and (HD) videos from my digital camera. I want to keep all my images in iPhoto, but I'd like to move the space consuming videos to another medium.

Is there simple, possibly automated way to move all the video files (.mov) that are in my iPhoto library to an external folder (NAS or disk)?

Answer 1

Try this (not automated, because i don't like automated delete for anything):

1. Make a "smart album" in the iPhoto with the condition "Photo is Movie". With this you get all movies into your new smart album.
2. press info (for check how much MB they're occupied)
3. Simply drag&drop movies out of the iPhoto (long time)
4. ensure (double check) they are really OK
5. move the movies from the smart-album into the Trash
6. empty

(triple check before deleting - do not blame me, when your computer get destroyed or so)
