It appears that several years after Apple introduced Cinematic mode for iPhone videos, Lightroom still does not support them. Is that correct?
I've just discovered that all my Cinematic style videos won't import. It says:
"The video file appears to be corrupted or unrecognizable. We were unable...
The metadata status for all my video files in LrC is unknown. The files are from various iphones and a Canon Powershot G7. Is this the state of affairs or is there something which could fix it.
It is more of an annoyance than really a problem. But when I check the metadata status from time to...
When trying to import a video into LR Classic (latest release 13.2) the error message: “failed to connect to dynamic link server” occurred.
After reading many forums, I removed Microsoft Visual Runtime versions and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (64)-14.38.33135...
I had a bunch (18 to be precise) of Pixel 5 Video files in one batch that didn't import. Hadn't occurred before. The error file showed the 18 files like this:
An unknown error occurred while reading the video file. (18)

This was discussed here earlier with the OP just looking for a way to correct the dates. But, in anticipation of submitting another bug report I'd like to know if others are still seeing this problem.
First, I do not have this problem with my Canon DSLR's, but do with with Sony A7R5.

Hi,
With any photo in your LR Classic catalog, which has arrived via the cloud, you can use the "Remove from All Synced Photographs" option to remove the photo from the cloud but still retained the file in your local catalog.
How to do this with video files?
I note that the video files that...
The 'Library' module in LR has great tools for filtering the set of thumbnails one sees in Grid mode – Text, Attribute, Metadata, etc.
I'm looking for a way to filter videos by resolution (480p, 1080p, etc). LR knows the "dimension" of video files (e.g., 640x480) but I don't see any...
I have a few thousand video clips from various sources such as DSLR, go pro etc. I tried using bridge to organize but find its takes too long to load and the keywording tool too hard to use. I m wondering if lightroom classic will be a good option and if there are any things to look out for?
I'm trying to figure out from where LrC pulls GPS data. I often use iMovie to edit videos, and iMovie strips off lots of metadata, including location info, and also sets the date & time info to the time that the video is exported from iMovie (this actually makes sense, because often one is...
Since few days ago, I have now unable to play any video file in the Library module.
I can "see" them in the Grid view, but as soon as in go in Loupe it gets stuck and remains grey.
Files are .MOV and I can open them in QuickTime.
See example in screenshot below.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in...
Hi - I'm a long-time reader of this forum, which has excellent advice, so thank you!
I've come across what seems to be a potential bug today. I use the LR mobile (Android) to auto-import both photos and videos from my phone to LR Classic on a Windows PC, so they sit alongside photos taken on...
I posted the same problem more than 3 years ago when I was using Lightroom version: CC 2015.10 [ 1111918 ] .
I don't do many video exports. Same thing is happening now.
Trying to export 13 small (largest 16MB) video files. LR 9.3 exports 7 of the 13 and then quits.
LR still says...
Hi,
This is NOT a question about HEVC.
At first I was trying to import HEVC files but I have learned that is not possible so now I save videos on my phone as "Most Compatible Format."
The .mov video files are coming from iPhone 8 into LR 6.14 on a Mac 10.13.6
I am able to import a few videos...
I am trying to separate out video files to a different folder within windows explorer but with the same year and date structure as I have within my existing folders in explorer and lightroom.
I hoped to be able to use Lightroom import for this? I’ve selected the hard drive I want to import...
Hello all,
is there a way to force build all the video previews for a catalog without going scrubbing over every thumbnail?
Also, are the video thumbnail previews stored in the Previews.lrdata container?
I am asking because I have a separate catalog for video that I would like to copy from...
Any ideas how I can import iPhone 7 and Nikon D500 videos? When I import I get this Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed error and the videos won't import. I am running the latest as of tonight. Just updated. I have rebooted my Windows 10 v 1809 build. The videos will play on my desktop...
Hi everyone,
I have the following problem: My slideshows look very good when I play them in the Slideshow module. When I export them as mp4 1080p they are noisy and blurred.
That's only since I switched to LR Classic CC, under LR6 everything was fine.
Does anyone have an idea?
Best, Uwe
I'm piddling with video more and more. Here is today's problem / question.
I have an Osmo Pocket that takes videos and puts out MP4 files. I also have a Ninja V HDMI recorder that puts out MOV files. Both of these LR will pull in but in both cases, it says they are "Unknown Camera". I...
I want to import iPhone video to Lightroom, but it won't recognize it. People talk about iPhone video in LR, but nobody mentions how to convert the .mov file (iPhone) to something LR can read.
Do I have to break down and buy dedicated software that converts .mov files?
After importing images & videos, I use the LR internal rename process to prepend the date to the file name. For still images, the date that LR uses for the prepend is the date the image was taken, which is what I want.
For videos this isn't the case. Look at the screenshot below. Notice that...

Total newbie to video editing.
I'm going to start transferring all my old home video tapes to digital then edit them and produce DVDs etc for my extended family. I've got analog 8 tapes and MiniDV tapes for two different cameras and think I've sorted how to get them on the computer (using an...
I've had this problem for quite a while and finally decided to contact Adobe about it.
I don't often export video but when I do and I'm exporting multiple video files the export will stop sometime after the exporting the first file successfully. If I cancel the export and retry what didn't...
Hi,
I am new to Lightroom. I just made the move from Aperture. I am wondering wether there is a way to search videos by their duration. I'd like to get rid of all my videos that are 3 seconds or shorter. I could do that in Aperture via a smart album, but in Lightroom I can't seem to find a way...
