Lightroom Classic 8.3 was released today and contained a fix for this issue. Please update to 8.3 and verify that you are no longer seeing the issue. Thank you!

Thank you. Hopefully that update is soon as I am working on a book project with a deadline and shot a good number of photographs this way and cannot edit them in Lightroom or Camera Raw.

Hi Christopher, 

Thanks for the detailed analysis done by you !
We have already raised a bug for the same.

It would be resolved in the next release.

Regards,

Also to confirm, this problem exists in Camera Raw as well as Lightroom.

I have tested these images in the most current versions of both Capture One Pro and Luminar and they work fine in these applications. This issue appears to be confined to Adobe Lightroom. I have found reference to this issue existing in the D800 as well.

Please fix this ASAP.

After doing some poking around on these files, it appears the offending files were shot in DX while in Live View Video Mode and the ones that import have been shot in FX while in Live View Video Mode.

Lightroom is not having an issue with some of the photos I shot in Live View Movie Mode (4KUHD). In the samples in the link below, There are four NEF files. The first two (ending in 003, 004) were not imported by Lightroom Classic CC and it could not see a preview. The second two (ending in 005, 006) were imported by Lightroom. These are just some examples from a morning where some are importable and some are not.

I tested downgrading through a few versions down to version 7.5 and the problem still exists.
