Someone sent me a video via Mail Drop in email. I opened it and saved it to me Desktop. Now I want to save it on my hard drive. I tried to drag it to Photos and it appeared to work, but when I tried to open it, it said the source wasn't available. An application called File Viewer is the one that is opening the video when I have it on the desktop, but I want the video saved with my other photos from that day.
Everything on your desktop is on your hard drive
I have never heard of a Mac application named File Viewer - what happens if you double click on the video on the desktop? What is the extension on the video? It may be an incompatible format
If an audio or video file doesn't play on Mac - Apple Support
Try launching Photos and using the file menu ==> import command to import the video

Thanks! I launched Photos and used the file menu to import.
The video that was send was taken on an iPhone and sent to me from that iPhone.
This is what File Viewer info looks like.... It was the application that opened when I went to play the video.
Thanks again!
And.....the extension was .m4v
FYI
that has nothing to do with the Photos for Mac application and is not even an Apple app - for support on third party apps contact the support team for the company selling the product
