New(ish) photos app El Capitan

[Alis_Klar]

Is there a way of viewing only videos in the photos app that replaced iPhoto and apature? Also cannot view photos by geolocation as you can in iOS version of app.

 

I actually want to export videos from iOS devices without using windows as it crashes explorer.exe if I try to copy large videos (over 50-100 MB)

 

I know that you can drag out photos and videos from the photos app to finder and it will export (and recompress from MOV file to M4V file too with lower resolution)

 

I just want to be able to filter the view in photos app to show only videos so I can select all the videos easily in one go. Currently the only way I can do it is to export every photo and video and then filter by kind in finder.

 

Is there a third party app that will do this?

 

UPDATE: Kind of a fix is the following:

N.B. the original files are kept here so guess I could filter by kind in folder but if they are all on different dates then they will be spread across subfolders according to date taken.

~/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Masters/

Still would like to view only videos in Photos app.

With the Photos app launched, click on the View Menu and select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar you should see a Videos option. Photos app helpfully collates all the videos you've imported in one place so as you can view them all. I'm guessing this is what you mean? You can see geolocation information by selecting a video or photo and selecting Info from the Window Menu. Command + I will do the same thing. With multiple selections you get to see pin markers on a map which you can zoom into for a more precise location. Is this what you mean also?

Thanks for getting back to me. The sidebar option is greyed out in the view menu. It is greyed out in the photos view and the albums view.

 

I managed to get videos by choosing albums and then videos as you would on iOS. Not sure why I couldn't see that option yesterday when I was looking.

 

The photos I am dealing with have no geolocation data but will try your method again with some that do.

 

 

Thanks again
