How to import only videos from iPhone to Mac?

I want to import videos from the iPhone Photos app to the MacBook Photos app.

But I only want videos to import.


When I connect iPhone to Mac and open the Photos app on Mac, it shows the import window, with the import new button. But this window consists of all my photos along with videos.


I don't want to import photos in my Mac, and selecting 357 videos from a total of 11,000 photos and video mixed library manually does not make any sense, it's donkey work.



Is there any way to filter only videos in the import window of Photos while syncing on Mac?

We can filter it on the iPhone Photos app but, Using Airdrop for sending 357 videos also does not make any sense, it's a very long and power-consuming process.

Hi


You can use the image capture app to first copy to a folder on your mac. The image capture app can sort the files on your phone by file size, or by file type, allowing you to easily select the videos. (you have to first put it in list mode rather then thumbnail mode, using the icon.)
