Editing Videos In Photos App Runs In macOS Catalina

The only editing possible with Photos on macOS is trimming. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Feedback - Photos - Apple but with iMovie available I'm not sure there will be any movement on that.

I have discovered the same issue.

It's absurd that my phone can rotate and apply filters to videos in the Photos app, but Catalina can't.

The phone has iMovie too. MacOS Catalina should have more editing features built into the Photo's app than iOS does.

So disappointing.

I hope, that these editing features will come to the Mac as well, sooner or later. In the recent years the Photos.app on the Mac has always been a bit behind the editing on the iPhone and iPad, but the next MacOS X brought finally the ability to apply Live Photo effect, edit portrait mode pictures and similar. Otherwise we would not have a lossless editing across several devices with iCloud Photos.

I am rotating the videos on my iPhone or iPad for the time being, also correcting the perspective directly on the iPhone and the changes will sync to my Mac with iCloud.

Thanks for the input. I was wasting too much time exporting movies from Photos just to rotate them. I’ll do them on the phone now. Make no mistake... I love my Apple ecosystem. But I also love to criticize them when they miss fixing the little things.
