    Howdy Scott,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like there’s an issue transferring videos from your iPhone to your computer. The way you sync or import videos to your computer will vary depending on the type of computer you have, iOS version on your device and the services that you’ve enabled. The article linked below will walk you through the process of importing videos from your iPhone to your computer.

    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

     

    If you haven’t already, you may want to take  a look at iCloud Photo Library which is described here:

    Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support

    Turn on iCloud Photo Library to access your photos on other Apple devices

     

    If you’d like to use iCloud Photo Library after you upgrade to Photos, you can turn it on in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. Photos and videos from your System Photo Library will begin to upload to iCloud in their full resolution and original format. Photos will estimate the size of your collection and help you select a different iCloud storage plan if needed.

     

    iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on each of your devices when you choose to optimize your storage in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. Learn what you can do if your photo library is over 1 TB.

     

    iCloud Photo Library keeps a single library — your System Photo Library — up to date on all your devices. If you change your System Photo Library, the contents of this new library will be merged with the contents already in iCloud. This can’t be reversed, so you should make this change only if you intend to combine your libraries.

     

    Cheers,

    -Jason
