Speed Up iLife
81. Multiple libraries
Large libraries can mean iTunes and iPhoto are slow to start up, so you can speed up by your workflow by creating several smaller libraries. To create one, hold down the “Option” key when you start up the app, select “Create” and choose a location.
82. Multiple edit in iTunes
In iTunes, you can select multiple tracks in a playlist or in the library and press Command/I or choose File > Get Info. This opens the Multiple Item Information window where you can perform batch operations on files. For example, enter text in any of the fields, like Album Title, Comments, or Year, and when you hit “OK,” iTunes will insert information into the tags of all selected files.
83. Batch Change
In iPhoto, if you multiple-select a number of pictures and right-click on them, you can choose “Batch Change.” This calls up a window where you can set new titles, dates or descriptions for all selected pictures at once. It’s handy for quickly tagging lots of photos with a view to searching or creating a smart album.
84. Multiple send
With multiple pictures selected in iPhoto, choose File > Export and you can quickly send multiple images to a slideshow, web page or folder with format conversion and compression.
85. Quick iTunes import
If you go to iTunes’ Preferences > Advanced > Importing tab, you can set it so that when you insert a CD, iTunes will import its tracks based on the encoder settings and eject the disc when it’s finished.
86. iPhoto events
In iPhoto ’08’s Events view, if you roll the mouse over an event, you get a mini-slideshow of all the pictures contained in it, helping you to quickly identify whether the image you want is there. If you find it, then right-click and choose “Make Key Photo;” that image will become the one that displays by default in the Events window.
87. iPhoto full screen
To view in full screen mode in iPhoto, press Command/R.
88. Create playlists from the library
A quick way to sort an iTunes library into separate playlists is to click the “Artist” or “Album” columns to sort the list, grouping tracks according to those criteria. Then, multiple-select all the tracks from an album or by an artist and choose File > New Playlist from Selection, or press Command/Shift/N. iTunes will create a playlist from the tracks and name it based on the tags. You can multiple-select different tracks from many artists or albums and do this to create a compilation.
89. iTunes Visualizer
To turn on the iTunes Visualizer, press Command/T
90. Share your media
In iMovie, if you choose to share a project to the Media Browser from the Share menu, it’s placed in a central pool of media and will be available to other iLife apps. Choose to share at full quality if you want to burn the movie to DVD.
