How to Fix Mac Won't Read Video Files from SD Card

Hey, my Mac won't read video files from my SanDisk SD card. I used to plug in my SD card, and my photo application popped up, and I could import all my videos from my SD card to Photos. Now, it won't even show my videos anymore, and only my SD card is showing. Can anybody fix this? Thank you in advance for they are my life-long memories.
