Exporting all photos in a Burst from Photos App to desktop

I'd like to export all photos in a burst as individual photos from the Photos app without going through and selecting each one (don't even know if that'd work)


How to batch export? Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Hold down the Option key and click and drag the thumbnail of the burst photo to the Desktop or folder on the Desktop. That will create a file for each frame in the burst.

how to I continue the process only exporting the remaining photos?


Select only the photos you want to export and export them - Option drag will export every thing you drag


Sorry, if I should ask this elsewhere, I after a little searching I didn't find any topic related to burst transfer and these two questions.

Very simple - start your own thread for your new questions - Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question - rather than ThreadJack a someone else's different question - ThreadJacking is rude and reduces the your chances of getting a good answer especially when you choose a solved hread to ThreadJack

Also related, if I followed this procedure, but to export to an external hard drive, but had to stop as the exportation was long (and I decided late in the process that I should partition my hard drive to separate the photos from my time machine backup), how to I continue the process only exporting the remaining photos?
