Q: Transfer videos
How can I transfer videos that are saved in "Photos" to the "Videos" file.
I have an IPad 2. Thanks.

See Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Photos and videos taken on an Apple device are not automatically synced to your computer, although that can be set up on a Mac. iCloud for Windows may be able to get most images and short videos via Photo Stream but longer videos will need copying via Windows Explorer. If the videos weren't taken on your device but arrived via email or some other route then then can probably be sent by email if they aren't in the exportable camera roll. Dropbox files can be copied as required.
Where you put them is up to you. I maintain a Pictures folder inside my iTunes Media folder (so it is all backed up together) and have a set of album folders in there for selecting to sync back to my device. If you want the videos to go to the videos app they will need adding to the iTunes library, presumably as Home Videos. You can do this by dropping copies or the originals into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your media folder.
