I went into London Henry's Camera and got a solution as follows: Connect camera to USB cable. Use FINDER to locate untitled.

Click on Untitled-window opens and click on Private--then on M4 Root-then on Clip. The videos will load.

Open iPhoto and drag video to photos and video will transfer. Works fine for me.


Thank you for your help

Do the videos play in QuickTime Player?


What is the format of the videos? Does your camera support more than one video format?

Photos is working best with videos with codecs HEVC or H.264. To get an idea, which codecs are problematic on macOS 13 Ventura see this list for iMovie: About legacy media in iMovie for macOS - Apple Support


If you can play the videos in QUickTime Player but not on Photos, there may be a problem with your Photos Library. For example, videos may not play, if the Photos Library is on a volume with an incompatible file system format. If your Photos Library is on an external volume, prepare it exactly as described here: Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support. Particularly, a case-sensitive format of the file system can make it impossible for Photos to access the resource fork with the video component in the container of the video.

Photos does not support the video formats from every camera. Are these videos shot in AVCHD? This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

I cannot even transfer the video since the camera video is not being displayed as transferrable.

Also I tried a card reader and the video does not appear. I tried recording video using XAVC S HD, AVCHD and XAVCS4K-none were appearing to be imported.

I went to iMovie and the camera/video were not appearing on the list to import.

I am at a loss on what to try to resolve this issue.
