A warm welcome to Mac-Forums.

It's while since I used iPhoto as it was replaced by the Photos app some considerable time ago.

But, assuming you imported the videos into iPhoto in the first place; the first thing to do is open iPhoto.

Now look to your left. This is the Sidebar and listed are are your Folders, Albums, Dates and so on.

Look down the list for any of the following words: "Videos"; "Movies".

You may have to open the disclosure triangles to see the contents of your Albums etc.

You should be looking for something like this - NB these screenshots are taken from Photos app so there may be slight differences.





Please let us know how you get on.

What I've shown above is from Photos app.

Are you sure your sidebar is showing to the left as in my screencast?

In Photos, look under Albums > Videos. (in iPhoto it was iPhoto Events > Movies).

If what you asking is the File Path to the Videos, they are in your Photos Library:

Macintosh HD > Users > your name > Pictures > Photos Library.photoslibrary

Videos that were NOT put into Photos are usually found in Macintosh HD > Users > your name > Movies

One word of caution: Do not mess with the Photos Library.photoslibrary file directly. It is actually a database and has indexes to find everything in the database. If you directly make changes, those indexes can be damaged and you lose EVERYTHING in the database. If you want to get to one video in the database, find it in Photos as Ian has described, then use File>Export to export the video from the database to a file that you can put wherever you want it. If you then do any edits to it, it won't show that editing in Photos until you re-import the edited file to Photos.

If you want to get to one video in the database, find it in Photos as Ian has described, then use File>Export to export the video from the database to a file that you can put wherever you want it.

There's no need to do that. Just drag and drop the video from the Photos window into Finder.

Two ways to the same result.
