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

Hopefully this can be fixed ASAP as I am working on a deadline for a project. Otherwise, I guess this would be a good time to fire up that copy of Capture One Pro and look at it as a replacement to Lightroom.

I am having the exact same problem with photos taken in Movie Live Mode set to 4KUHD. They look fine in Mac Finder and Photo Mechanic 5, but will not import or show a preview image in the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Hope you are doing good !

The Dynamic Link Media Library(DLMS) used by Lightroom doesn't support higher FPS videos (say for eg: 120 fps). Even if it imports it would be a sluggish playback.

I would request you (if possible from your end) to please share your video files with us which have issue playing in Lightroom/Photoshop.

We will further investigate in this matter.

Thanks !

Hi Rikk, Did you take photo in slow motion mode? cause I've got this



the D850 .nefs taken with the camera set to Movie Mode, 1920x1080p 30 x4 can be opened and displayed in Raw Digger and Luminar. The raw histogram can be displayed and what looks like the full metadata is there.

I did a quick test and was able to import with no issues. Would you be willing to share a sample file that won't import?
