How to export all images and videos from Photo Booth to finder

photo-boothphotosvideo

Images and videos can be exported from Photo Booth one by one by either

  1. Right-clicking in the file in Photo Booth -> Export, or
  2. Drop and dragging the image/video from Photo Booth into a finder folder

The problem is, neither method works for multiple images/videos: if you have n images/videos, you have to drop and drag n times, which, needless to say, is exceptionally tedious.

How can multiple images / videos be exported from Photo Booth in one go? (i.e. avoiding manually doing it one by one)?

Note: if there's some work around to access the raw .png's .mov's, then that is just as good – the end result should be some image and video files that can be opened with any standard media viewers/players (not just Photo Booth)

Best Answer

The easiest is probably to simply find the photos in Finder.

  1. Open Finder
  2. Locate the PhotoBooth library file (usually in user/pictures)
  3. right click on it, hit show package contents
  4. Copy all files from the Pictures folder (if you want to have the original photos without effects on them also copy the Originals folder)
