      <p>Many digital cameras can take short vidoes, and photo-management
      applications often download these videos directly into your Photos
      folder. Choose this option to import any videos that have been
      stored in your Photos folder.</p>

  <note>
    <p>You can safely import from a folder you have already imported
    from without worrying about duplicate entries in your library.</p>
