An Apple computer user says his computer model has no SD slot.

Apple sells an SD card reader. Do you use a "USB-C to SD Card Reader" in your Apple computer model to look at video files? What model?

I assume the computer would work with .MOV video files as .MOV files are associated with Apple. How about .AVI?

I use a simple generic USB sd card reader (PNY) I got free with an sd card. I use a simple usb to usb-C adapter (a few dollars) and plug it into my mac min m1 thunderbolt port. That is, you do NOT need an Apple-branded card reader. The computer recognizes the card as a drive and I can copy whatever files are on it (does not care if the files are *.mov, *.mp4. *.mxp. *.doc. *.avi, *.mkv, etc.). What video files the computer "works" with wholly depends on the software. DaVinci Resolve can work with all those video files.
