How can I search orientation for videos in Finder

I have a folder full of MP4s and I want to create a simple search in finder to be able to separate portrait and landscape videos into their own folders. Is it possible to use the orientation to search these and separate them out.

Is to possible to also do this in the Photos app?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

Hey there bwfc0907,

We'd like to help by setting some expectations, along with making sure we're on the same page about what's happening:

Regarding being able to search for 'portrait' or 'landscape' orientation videos, what occurs if you try searching in Finder yourself using the aforementioned words?
If you do not find what you were looking for, then we recommend using this link to provide feedback for Apple to consider: Product Feedback
While you can create Smart Albums on your Mac, upon trying to adjust for the settings you asked, we didn't find them among the options listed. Regardless, we wanted to provide more details about this so you can have as a reference: Create Smart Albums to group photos automatically in Photos on Mac

Cheers!
