How can I view a randomized slideshow of photos and videos on an SD
card without copying files onto my hard drive?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Photos requires one to import images before you can view them. Both Quick Look and Preview allow us to view multiple images without copying them to hard drive, but with a fixed-order (slideshow or manual flicking). I googled some 3rd-party apps, but all seem to either not support videos or also require one to import files.

In sum, what I'm looking for is a way to:

Do random slideshows of both photos and videos.

Without having to copy files to hard drive.

Preferably from Finder, but if not possible, happy to do it within the GUI of another app.

If 3rd-party software, preferably free, but happy to pay if free ones don't exist or are too buggy.

Thanks for any ideas!
