P: iPhone video Capture Time is shifted upon Import

"and when you apply Metadata > Read Metadata From File to existing videos. "

I misspoke -- you can't invoke Metadata > Read Metadata From File to videos.

Same here: same timezone issue persists using my iPhone 6s.

I also updated my version of LR and tested it with two new videos from my iPhone 6.  One I imported directly from the iPhone, the other I first copied to my hd, adjusted permissions and then imported.  Both continue to have the wrong time (8+ hours).  I don't seem to have the option to read (or save) metadata from the file for any videos.

Couldn't wait to get home and try this out.  Upgraded and tried to sync the meta data of the folder and no change in the date of impacted iphone videos.  Delete one file from the library, reimported and still no change in the date.  Video was taken around 6:34 PM pacific time and shows 2:34 AM on lightroom 6.9 still.

Also just imported some recent photos/videos from my iphone to see if maybe there was some metadata/etc that was forcing the time and can confirm that this issue is not fixed, importing fresh videos from iphone or reimporting old videos still yields the incorect time for the videos (It's still GMT timezone).

The fix will affect imports of new videos and when you apply Metadata > Read Metadata From File to existing videos.   If you don't do Read Metadata From File on existing videos, their capture dates will remain unaffected.

Will this fix only impact future imports of video or will it try to correct past videos already in the LR library? I have already corrected most of my videos (painfully) but not all. I'd hate for it to get confused and make a mess of the capture time unless it was able to do it somehow flawlessly and accurately.

Adobe released Lightroom 6.9/CC2015.9 today.

This issue should be corrected in this release. Please give it a try and let us know if you see any further issues.

While we wait for a fix I have an imperfect workaround that works for me. I have a Sony a7Sii and I now set the "Area" (Timezone) to "London" and "Daylight saving" to "Off". This means that the time value never changes when Lr or the camera tries to calculate UTC time for Capture (Create) Time.

This is an inelegant solution because I now have to manually change the time when daylight savings comes on and off. But that is only twice a year.

Incidentally this also accounts for why some Sony users have this problem and others do not. If these values were never changed from UTC then the camera thinks it is in the UTC Timezone and they will never have this problem.

Moreover, the a7Sii does not have a GPS so it will never know what Timezone it is really in unless I tell it.

The Sonys (as do most non-phone cameras) store the capture time as local time, whereas the iPhones store it as UTC (GMT).   This obviously confuses LR.  It's a consequence of a poorly designed QuickTime specification: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/iphone_video_capture_time_is_shifted_upon_imp...

I've encountered the same issue with my new iPhone 7 but not with my Sony RX100 III as Rick has with his Sony RX100 II. My husbands Sony RX 100 does not show that problem either. When I spoke with the Apple help he could not reprouce the problem with his iPhone and LR either. Strange isn't it?
