How to make video playlists for iTunes, iPod and iPhone

August 18th, 2009 by Donald Bell Tagged with: apple, iphone, ipod, itunes, touch, video

Most people are pretty familiar with making music playlists in iTunes (if you're not, we can help). Video playlists are a less common sight. iTunes already does a pretty good job of grouping your TV shows and video podcasts together in their correct order. But for all you video junkies out there who want to create playlists that scan your vast library of Family Guy episodes with "Stewie" in the title, playlists can be a lot of fun.

If the ultimate goal is to get these video playlists onto your iPod or iPhone, there are a few hurdles worth knowing about. For all the ins and outs of making video playlists for iTunes, the iPod or the iPhone, check out our video and step-by-step slideshow below.

Making a playlist of videos in iTunes is about as simple as making a music playlist. You just hit the plus button in the bottom left corner to create a blank playlist and then drag and drop whatever videos you want onto the list.
