how do i find video clips stored in Photos

I have dozens of video clips shot on my iPhone in Photos on my MBAir, but there doesn't seem to be a way to find them all, e.g. there is no collection of the video clips that I can find. I seem to have to laboriously scroll thru thousands of photos to find one or two video clips. There must be a easier way. How can I find/group all video clips for easy access?


Thanks

To find the Videos album in the side bar reveal the sidebar with key combination ⌥⌘S


You can also search with smart album for specific videos - slow motion, time-lapse, or movie.

How are you transferring the videos from your iPhone to the Mac?

My Photo Stream does not transfer the videos. You have to import them by a USB connection or using iCloud Photo Library.

Ah ha! Finally found it. Don't mean this as a complain -- I really DO appreciate the help. But the screen shot looked at first like a little narrow stripe--I didn't recognize it as a screen shot. When it finally occurred to me to click on it, it opened up so that I could see it. And I found the video. Then, following the process, I found Videos. I guess when you know how it's not so hard to find.


Thanks to all!
