SD Card files not showing in Mac finder
Wondering if anyone can help, so I’m using iMovie and when I click the import button all my videos on the SD card show up as usual, but from my old cameras but no folder for my new camera or the videos I’ve filmed on it. Also when I put the SD card in the camera the videos show up fine on the camera too
in the pic you can see the folders with files containing videos from my old cameras but nothing for my current one
The SD card slot may not be capable of reading the newer SD card. You may have to get an external card reader that can handle that card.
From another post, try shutting down the Mac, put the SD card into the slot, and start up the Mac.
Once you mount the cards, if iMovie cannot import the videos, you may be using a codec on your new camera that iMovie cannot interpret.
You might be able to convert the video into something iMovie can use with Handbrake, but I don't know if it can interpret that codec, either.
Check the camera instructions for how to set it up so that you can import the video into iMovie.

I’m confused, the sd works fine in the Mac it comes up as do all the folder files except one. iMovie isn’t the issue either as my files show up fine on there. It’s just that there’s a folder missing in the Mac finder when I open the SD card in finder
Does iMovie see the folder? What is the folder that is missing.
Try typing cmd-shift-. ←that is a period in the shortcut.
That will show hidden files/folders. Does it show up, then?
Finder will hide certain items that users tend to muck with and damage the structure.
