How to move videos from Files to Photos?
I have some videos in the Files app and want to move these into the Photos app. I can’t seem to see anyway to do this. How is this done?

No, there is no longer a button to save to Photos.
When I want to save a video from Files to Photos, I select the video in Files and tap it to open it. It will open in Photos. In Photos I tap the "Share" arrow, than use the command "Save".
The video will be saved to Photos and appear in the "Media kind > Video" album.
Exact same process as for photos. Keep in mind that videos over 200 MB cannot be synced using iCloud photos
Yes, I found that and it worked. Another way would be to open a video, pause it and on the top, you can tap on the video name and then it will show “save video” button.

Where are you seeing this limit documented, muguy? I am having much larger videos in my iCloud Photos Library and they are syncing with iCloud Photos without any problems, for example this video with 3.14GB.
I have moved all my home videos to Photos after Apple discontinued the iMovie Theater.
I took the screenshot on my Mac, but I can view this video also on my iPhone and iPad in Photos.
Have you perhaps been thinking of the limit for Shared Albums?
Yeah, I’ve been doing this with iOS 17, but there’s no button for that in iOS 18.
