Hey John! Thanks for this! This video was very helpful! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :) By the way, I attempted to do this with videos, but unlike photos, the memory capacity is far too large. Is this always the case with importing videos? If so, is there a way to reduce their memory capacity?
