Unable to Export Edited Video/Photo

[joeld1]

The video that I'm trying to export has a value for the hasadjustments attribute, unfortunately it doesn't export the edited video to the current directory.

exported = p.export(".", edited=True)

When run in a Jupyter notebook, it returns an empty list.

I am able to export it with the parameteruse_photos_export=True though.

It sounds like the video's not in the local library. Do you have "optimize Mac storage" on? If so, Photos will decide to keep some items in iCloud only depending on available disk space. When you use use_photos_export Photos will download the file from iCloud if needed. What's the value of ismissing for this video.

Here are some properties in the photo. Also, let me double-check optimize Mac storage.

Yes, Optimize Mac Storage is on

What's p.path, p.path_edited?

[joeld1]

p.path = '/Users/jd/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/originals/A/ABC727CE-380E-4AFD-B868-DCF4A1450C8B.mp4'

p.path_edited doesn't return anything

[RhetTbull]

p.path_edited doesn't return anything

That's the issue. Photos isn't caching a local copy of the edited video (due to optimize mac storage) so there's nothing to export. You'll need to use use_photos_export to force download from iCloud.

This isn't really a bug as far as I can tell. With Optimize Mac Storage osxphotos can make no guarantees about the availability of any asset as that's handled by Photos.
