Videos: To access the Video section of the Library, tap the film icon. A
scrollable page of thumbnails, one for each video on the iPad (assuming
you have recently updated the Library), is displayed. Tapping a
thumbnail selects the video for previewing.
If you have many videos, you can save a lot of time by dealing with them
systematically. The Albums and Events tabs on the thumbnail page provide access
to collections that are automatically updated when you import your videos via
iTunes. Tap a tab to see the groupings it contains – user-defined Albums in the
one case, iPhoto or Aperture Event categories in the other – then tap one of these
to see its video thumbnail page.
To return to a higher level in the catalog, either swipe right on the thumbnails, or
tap the return link at the top-left of the thumbnail page. These will take you back
step by step to the root level of the Video section.
A page of photos in the Library. This shows the Events collection. Like the
Faces collection, this is available via software such as iPhoto and Aperture and
can be imported to the iPad with iTunes.
