Here's a comprehensive use case from an actual osxphotos user that integrates many of the concepts discussed in this tutorial (thank-you Philippe for contributing this!):
I usually import my iPhone’s photo roll on a more or less regular basis, and it includes photos and videos. As a result, the size ot my Photos library may rise very quickly. Nevertheless, I will tag and geolocate everything as Photos has a quite good keyword management system.

After a while, I want to take most of the videos out of the library and move them to a separate "videos" folder on a different folder / volume. As I might want to use them in Final Cut Pro, and since Final Cut is able to import Finder tags into its internal library tagging system, I will use osxphotos to do just this.

Picking the videos can be left to Photos, using a smart folder for instance. Then just add a keyword to all videos to be processed. Here I chose "Quik" as I wanted to spot all videos created on my iPhone using the Quik application (now part of GoPro).

I want to retrieve my keywords only and make sure they populate the Finder tags, as well as export all the persons identified in the videos by Photos. I also want to merge any keywords or persons already in the video metadata with the exported metadata.

Keeping Photo’s edited titles and descriptions and putting both in the Finder comments field in a readable manner is also enabled.

And I want to keep the file’s creation date (using `--touch-file`).
Finally, use `--strip` to remove any leading or trailing whitespace from processed template fields.
