    Photo Cataloging App that includes video clips?

    Quick question for you; I am going to move away from Lightroom and I am looking for another app that can catalogue photos and include video clips as well. I have trialled Luminar 3 which I like but as far as I can see it is for photos only and does not include video files. Any suggestions?
