P: Videos don't play and don't import

In the passed I managed my video clips in Lightroom CC, since today I have LR Classic CC and it seems, that Adobe took out all video functions. Even I cannot open (to have a look) videos from the old catalogue. Is this a bug, or ist the function not existing anymore?

It perturbs me that I had to find out here there was an update, then kill and restart the Creative Cloud app to force it to offer me updates on LR and Photoshop. I'll test the video compatibility once I get the update installed. 😠

Just updated to Classic 8.0 and imported a video file.  No problems apparent.  I was able to play the file in Lightroom Classic 8.0.

Hi All,

Can you please try to import videos in the latest Lr Classic 8.0 version and let us know if you are facing any issues?

Hi Mellissa, i also can't find the files like Neneva!

Taking your previous advice, I searched my Mac for "Trace Database.txt"" and found nothing.  Thanks for your reply, I really need help with this!  There is no "<user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe" folder on my computer.

Tonight, out of the blue, LR Classic stopped showing my quicktime videos.  Can see the thumbnails, but get a blank center screen when moving from grid to loupe view.  Running High Sierra, all software, Mac and Adobe, is up to date.  What is solution?  Tried deleting the DLL files as suggested above, but no luck.

With so many people having this issue, it would be a known issue and have to be fix

The dynamic link issue appears to be an occasional problem.  At the moment I am not having a problem scanning videos in Lightroom Classic 7.4.
