AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Video Spotlight importer plugin is bundled as part of macOS and is not separately installed or updated. To get the native Apple Silicon version of this Spotlight importer, you do not need to download or install anything on its own—simply update macOS itself to the latest version available for your Mac. Open System Settings, navigate to General → Software Update, and install the latest macOS release your Mac supports. When you do, the Spotlight importer plugins, including Video, will be automatically updated to their native Apple Silicon builds. This ensures the plugin runs at full performance and will continue to work when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
