Your search results will appear. The file's direct location will appear at the bottom of the window once selected.

In the top toolbar, click File. This will open a drop-down menu.

Click Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library.

Select your video or folder. Use File Explorer to find your video or folder. Make sure your video is in .mov, .mp4, or .m4v format. Otherwise, you will get an error. If you add a folder, all the files inside will be added to your iTunes library.
