Adobe get with the program.  I tried importing *.HIF files today from my EOS R5 and Lightroom Classic doesn't even show them in the import window.  They can't be imported.  I can import iPhone *.HEIF files but not from the EOS R5.  Adobe's lack of support for import and export of *.HEIF files is pathetic

        When will LR support HEVC video files? It is a blocker for me and looks like Capture One support them. So I am considering switching to them.

          The sample Canon R6 HIF downloaded from here imports into LR 12.4 without problems:

          R5 Hifs work just fine.  Did you attempt to import one?

          I'm shooting Canon R6.  I want to use the new HIF format to save space and improve quiality.  This technology has been out long enough for Adobe to add functionality to Lightroom.  Let's get out of the 90's and move forward.

            This posting has gotten so long, it is hard to know what has and has not been stated. So keeping that in mind, my apology in advanced for already covered material.

             

            The original posting (not the title) was about the Canon R5, not Fuji bodies, and as of 5 minutes ago PS definitely still has no interest in R5 HIF files:
