Can’t see videos

So I airdropped some videos from my iPhone onto my MacBook Air and they were all saved in the photo album under “imports” then my mom backed up her photos onto her MacBook Air computer (separate computer) and now I can’t see the videos anymore?? they are not in the photos album at all. It’s weird because there are two videos on there only that I airdropped? So where are the rest that I air dropped? It’s only showing me the two videos from my phone. I’m so confused because the rest of the videos somehow must be on the computer?? If anyone knows what to do please let me know because I’ve been to figure this out for like 3 days and I don’t know how to get the rest of the videos back.

Hey there eisha345,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Have you tried using the Spotlight feature to search for these videos? If not, do that using the steps from these links and see if you can locate them that way:
