Can I ask where do people organise/store/tag their home movies? I'm (still) organising my photos, started in iPhoto, now use Photos for Mac and iCloud photo library. It's great to use iCloud photo library, I upgraded so get all my pictures stored, to me it's an additional backup to time machine, and my other cloud storage.

However what do people do with home movies? My camera does AVCHD 1080P video so they aren't small. Where or what should I do to be able to have a similar setup to Photos, whereby the ability to tag them for reference and easy locating them etc.

I don't think I can include them in Photos app, (if I convert them to mp4 as Photos doesn't seem to support AVCHD), as it would just use all the iCloud space up. I'll somehow have to back these up manually to my online cloud service and time machine.

So this must be a common issue, can I ask for recommendations, and actually what scenarios others do to archive, store, backup, tag etc please.

Thanks
