Why are my videos going into iCloud right away??

Why are my videos going into iCloud right away?? I'll be editing a project, download the videos needed and if I come back the next day, the videos have been added to my icloud account and show up as blanks on my timeline. Is this happening to anybody else?

In addition to what Tom said about not importing through Photos:

This suggests that you have "Documents and Desktop in iCloud".

If you want to keep this feature, copy your videos somewhere else on your drive - for example, the Movies folder.
