Turn on Finder syncingYou can use the Finder on your Mac to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from the Photos app, or from a folder on your computer.

You must import Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos through the Photos app or Image Capture in OS X Yosemite or later to ensure that their effects are synced via the Finder. When you use iCloud Photos, Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos will keep their effects. Live Photos will keep their effect when you import them to Photos in OS X El Capitan and later, but they will lose their effect if you sync them back to your device via your computer. Use iCloud Photos so that Live Photos keep their effect, no matter what device you use. You can only sync your device with the System Photo Library. If you have more than one photo library on your Mac, make sure that the correct one is designated as the System Photo Library.
