iCloud Photo videos not showing on my mac

Videos taken on my iPhone are showing on my iPhone and in the iCloud Photo app. Pictures are showing in the Photo app on my MacBook Air. But no videos are showing on my laptop. Any ideas why?


thanks

I have a Video folder on my MBP in the Photos app. However, it does not contain all the videos that are on my iPhone. Some of the more recent videos are not synching to my Mac, while they are on iCloud in a reduced, somewhat fuzzy quality. In fact, I have no videos on my Mac more recent than last fall. So, they all made it from my iPhone 6 to the cloud, but not to my Mac. And, why isn't the play quality on iCloud correct?


On my MBP, in my Photos>preferences>iCloud, it is showing I have many files uploading - actually more files than I have photos or videos. Right now it is sitting at over 2500 files. Basically, the countdown almost doesn't move, although it does seem to be reducing gradually. As I have had the updated Photos app since it came out and my iPhone since October, why is this still trying to upload so many files? And, does this have anything to do with why my videos aren't synching with my Mac? Shouldn't the synch process be relatively fast?


I never had this problem with iPhotos.
