The only problem I am having with Photos selection for the "Days" is, that it is usually picking the worst version as the keeper. If you collect all items of a day in an album, you will have a starting point, which items to keep and which to remove as potentially redundant items. In the "Days" only our favourites are show, and Photos is suppressing similar items. But this is only used for the "curated" views in the "Days".
Which version of Photos are you using? Photos 5 and Photos 6 are scanning the library for similar and duplicate images and videos. Make a backup copy of your library, before you start removing items on a large scale. Then watch them and delete any video clip that I do not like. To weed out videos I would create a smart album in Photos with the rule "Photo is video" then sort the videos by the capture date, so videos taken at the same time will appear side-by-side. No program will be able to do that for you. You will want to keep the best version of the video - the version with the best resolution and the most stable one, the one, where the people or animals are looking the best, where the sound is the best. Using Disk Drill to find and remove duplicate photos is also easy to do, and it is on my favorite apps as it just can do so much, and it does it all very well.
APPLE PHOTOS FIND DUPLICATES MAC
Disk Drill is a data recovery tool but it can also be used to find and remove duplicate photos from your Mac for free. When removing similar items you have to compare them anyway and pick the best one. Method 1: Finding and Removing Duplicate Photos Using Disk Drill. It looks like you want to remove similar videos, not just exact duplicates. The best duplicate finder would be yourself. To be fair, I think we should have a solution to 1) easily spot Duplicates as part of the Photos App 2) This should also work on movies because iPhone can capture photos AND videos, so the support for videos in the Photo App should allow users to work seamlessly between the two types of media. There are Apps that operate on the Photos App which only find image duplicates (Power Photos, Duplicate Photos Finder, Cisdem duplicate finder etc.) These App have the ability to operate inside the DB of the Photo App, then there are Apps like Gemini and all the Duplicate File finders, which operate on the folder structure, so you could point them to the "original" folder of the Photo App, but the problem with that is the Photo App has a cache of all your photos and videos, and deleting the original doesn't remove the duplicate from the Photo database, but it invalidates (popup error) when you try to edit the photo. Thanks Russ, but frankly this doesn't address the issue: I have tried multiple softwares like the one you mentioned and there is nothing that can be easily used to remove duplicate videos (finding duplicate videos is way harder than photos, as a video should be analyzed as sequence of frames).
