"Movies" folder on finder is empty, how do I find my videos?

When I check under the masters folder of photos in finder, hundreds of photos show up. I've been trying to find the videos stored on my mac, but when I go under the movies folder nothing shows up. Some of the thumbnails of videos show up as photos in this folder.


There are 3 folders under movies: "captures", "TV", and "NVIDIA". If there are videos on my mac would they be in one of these folders?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

I actually didn't intentionally save my videos/pictures anywhere on my laptop, I just assumed that they might've transferred over from my phone on iCloud. Most of my photos and videos are from ~/library and under messages, but the thumbnails that I mentioned are from photoslibrary > resources > derivatives
