Photos for Mac
Q: Photos and videos help
Few questions.
Photos - I don't want duplicate files. I've imported all my photos into the photos app, "Copy items to the photos library" is checked.
- Can I now delete all the pics and folders of pics in the "Pictures" folder?
- They're all stored in the "Photos Library.photoslibrary" now right?
- "Copy items to the photos library" should be checked or no if I don't want duplicates?
Videos -
- When importing iPhone pics/videos using Photos app, it stores the video clips in same location as the photos and not in the "Movies" folder?
- I have a bunch of old video clips from various digital cameras and such. I'd like them treated the same way as the new iPhone video clips that I import. How do I make that happen? Import them into Photos app with "Copy items to the photos library" then once done delete the files in original location?
Thanks
