How to Export Videos with Photos app for Mac?

Last Updated :

Photos app for Mac allows you to export your photos and videos. It is similar menu for videos but you need to choose a video quality resolution for the exported file. When you click "Export" button, you will get 2 options i.e "Export X photos or videos" and "Export Unmodified Original". When you export photos and videos from Photos app, it should be noted that you will need to drill down to the "Moments" view to highlight photos and videos.

To export videos, open "Photos" app on your Mac and click "File" menu. Select "Export" option and then select "Export Unmodified Original" option. If you expand the "Photos" section by clicking the "v" button you will be given the choice of several parameters for your export. Select a file type, quality, size, naming convention and video quality resolution for the exported file.

Photos app does not allow you to select an entire album from "Album" view. Instead, you can open the album and then select all of its photos to share the entire album.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
