I have many personal "movies" (ie video clips) in my iTunes library I sync to my iPad. I have purchased a few commercial movies via iTunes I watch on my iMac. I don't want to sync these to my iPad because they are so large.

In iTunes 12.3, how do I sync only my personal movies to my iPad but not the purchased movies?

My current iTunes settings:

- Under iPad summary>options, "Sync only checked songs and videos" is unchecked
- Under iPad summary>options, "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked

Under iPad summary>movies, I have "Sync movies" checked and "Automatically include all" checked.

If I uncheck "Automatically include all", then I can individually select each home movie but I have a hundred video clips and only a few purchased movies. The purchased movies are sprinkled randomly throughout the list, and it's very tedious and error prone to scroll through the huge list.

Is there any easy way in iTunes 12.3 to sync only my home movies and exclude purchased movies?
