I can drag images to folders but not video clips - do you see that?
I can drag video clips to folders, but I noticed that there is a delay roughly proportional to the video's file size before it appears in the folder. There is no indication from Finder or Photos that the process is occurring so it can seem like nothing happens until the file finally shows up in the folder -- which could be several minutes or even hours for large files.
This seemed puzzling until I noticed that the files I was dragging out of Photos had the .MOV extension but in the folder were showing up with the .m4v one, & the folder copy was smaller, both in file size & in frame size. (For example, a short 1920X1080, 160 MB MOV source file became a 1280X720, 80MB m4v one in the folder.) Changing the Photos File > Export "Movie Quality" option from 720p to 1080p had no effect on the drag & drop, so it looks like 720p is 'hard wired' into the drag & drop action, at least for 1080p mov files.
I also noticed that using the Photos File > Export function with the "Movie Quality" option set to 1080p preserved the frame size, but the exported mov file still was converted to the m4v format, its file size was smaller, & the delay before the export appeared in the chosen folder was about the same as with the drag & drop method.
So it seems obvious that the delay is caused by the video file conversion & re-encoding process, not because of some bug in D&D support in Photos -- what Apple would probably dismiss as "works as expected" in reply to a bug reporter submission.
