Is there an easy way to identify images in my catalog that are iPhone Live images, files with the same filename, date and time stamp but two different extensions.

I know there are ways to avoid the issue but I often add images to my catalog from my wife's iPhone who occasionally chooses to use Live Images. I could do a selection at import but this is tedious.

Now there are in my catalog I can look at the imported files and manually work through them, again this is tedious.

Once I've identified the pairs of files my intention would be to delete the 2s videos.

I've looked at the various search plugins around but cannot see a simple answer.

Thank you for your help.

You can use the Any Filter plugin's Search command with this filter:

This finds HEIC images for which there is a .mov in the same folder with the same base file name (whether or not the .mov is imported into LR).
