Searching video on alfred

Hi,

Could anyone explain if it is possible to search video file with Alfred? I had no luck so far. I went to Alfred preferences - advanced - added video file format, but no luck.

@martynaskairys Welcome to the forum!

 

Rather than adding video files to your default results, which clutters results when you want to do simple things like launch apps, try using the "open" keyword (or pressing the spacebar, which is a shortcut for it)

 

For example "[spacebar]rolling" brings up relevant .mov and .avi videos on my Mac.

 

 

If you're new to Alfred, take a look at this guide to searching using Alfred, which shows you the difference between searching for apps and for general files:

That makes sense.

Thank you for quick and on-spot answer. 

And yes, I am new to Alfred.
