The Movies folder would be one. If you have a large number of video files you may want to store them on an external drive.

Welcome and no. You would have to add them to Photos by dragging them into Photos or using "Import…".

Thanks! If I store them in the "Movies" folder will they show up in the video section of the Photos app?
