How do I find my videos in Aperture?

In previous versions of Aperture I could find my video files easily as they were under the videos tab. Now I can't find them without going into all of the original projects and I have to sift through the photos to find the video files. I have used Aperture to store all of my video and photo files and then just use Final cut to edit. I'm sure that there missed be an easy way of finding them, but I can't find it at the moment. Thanks in anticipation.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

What version had a Video tab?

If you use the Photos tab in combination with sorting by File Size, you will easily find all but the most tiny.

You could make a smart album that showed the media type of video.

This is how I find videos:

Library

Select project (make sure you do NOT have a selection w/in the project, click off to the side of an image if you do)

File

Edit

Find

Add Rule button on pop-up screen, select file type so you can search for videos.

If you're not sure which project the videos are in, you can select all projects at the same time before you >File>Edit>Find

Hope this helps
