P: Wrong GPS coordinates on videos

Also, be sure to click Upvote at the top-right of the first post.  That will make it a bit more likely Adobe will prioritize a fix.

At the bottom of the first post, Adobe has marked the bug as "Investigating", which means they're aware of it. Unfortunately, Adobe almost never says when a bug will be fixed. From Adobe's post, How do I write a bug report:

"ETAs for any bug fixes are not available in advance. The primary thread for each bug will be updated when a fix is released. "

Hello,

Just wanted to say that this issue is still present in Lightroom Classic CC 11.4.1.

Is there any indication on when it might be fixed?

Best regards,

Hey, 

Thanks for reporting this issue. We shall look into it further.

For the sample video, Exiftool displays the coordinates as:

46 deg 4' 25.18" N, 23 deg 34' 25.97" E

while LR displays them incorrectly as:

46°0'60"  23°0'60" 

The 60" clearly indicates a bug in LR.

Why are you using a photo editing app for videos? You should be using Premiere or...

Hello,

I recently came across an issue with the GPS coordinates of my videos in Lightroom Classic.

I have my camera paired with my smartphone so that all my photos and videos have GPS coordinates.

For my photos, Lightroom Classic works exactly as expected. The coordinates are correctly read from the EXIF data and I can see on the map more or less exactly where each shot was taken.

It's a different story with videos, however. I just recently imported a batch of 9 videos. When I opened the map module, all 9 videos were in exactly the same location. (This location was not on my route but it wasn't too far away either - about 50 KM from where I was walking. But it's somewhere I've never been before.)

Investigating further, I opened some of the video files in EXIF tool to check the GPS coordinates. Each video in fact had unique coordinates and, after double-checking in Google Earth, I found that these coordinates were accurate. This leads me to believe it's an issue with Lightroom Classic reading the GPS coordinates from the EXIF data. Furthermore, I also noticed that the seemingly random location Lightroom assigned to my videos was in a different format to the one normally used by the camera.

I have not experienced any such issues with photos. Lightroom seems to correctly read the coordinates for the photos. Even when importing a batch of both photos and videos, the photos have the correct GPS coordinates while the videos are grouped together somewhere random. This is all using the same camera (Fuji XT4).

Has anyone else noticed this or had similar issues with video GPS coordinates? Any ideas what the issue might be or what I can do to fix it?

Thanks!
