syncing mp4 files

I have a 2017imac running big sur and a 6th generation iPad4.

I have some mp4 workout videos on my iMac that i would like on my iPad for travelling. They play on quicktime. When I sync they do not show up anywheres that I can find to add them to my iPad. I have tried adding through iMovies and the iTunes movie file on finder (where millers knot is housed) and they do not show up. How do i make them (or any file) show up on this movie tab. I have black panther and thor on my desktop and only thor showing up there. This should not be this hard. Any suggestions?

iPod, iOS 9

I actually figured it out after I posted. Big Sur eliminated iTunes - there is now "music" and "podcasts" mirroring the mobile setup. Movies are inside of "apple TV". Once I moved them there they showed up on the sync bar.

You need to add the content to your iTunes library first. Newly added video files are normally treated as Home Videos, but you can use the Get Info dialog (select item, press cmd+i) to change the media kind to Movie or TV Show.
