I've uploaded 3 videos taken by DJI Mavic 2 Pro to Dropbox: 
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zqm8walmuahk7bc/AADAg5Amt8dV2eQbsNXf7w2xa?dl=0

  • DLog-M.MOV -- HEVC -- DLog-M -- can't imported by Lightroom Classic
  • HLG.MOV -- HEVC -- HLG -- can't imported by Lightroom Classic
  • Rec.709.MOV -- HEVC -- maybe Rec.709 -- imported to Lightroom Classic sucessful

When importing DLog-M.MOV and HLG.MOV, Lightroom Clssic failed and reports "The video file appears to be corrupted or unrecognizable. It has no audio or video streams"

Please support DJI Mavic 2 videos, because it's becoming a significant tool for professional photographers. After a long wait, photographers are difficult to deal with large amount of video files.

Test environment: Lightroom 9.2.1 on macOS 10.15.4
Tested on June 7th, 2020, EVERYTING is updated to date.Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Lightroom Classic and CC: Please support HEVC (H.265) video support for Windows.

    Hi Victor,

    Thanks for bringing this to light. We already have a bug for the same.
    I will pass it on to the team and prioritize.

    Regards,
    Sumeet

      For professional photographers' workflows this is an important requirement.  Increasingly we are returning from the field with a batch of DJI photos (alongside our DSLR images) and a few DJI videos.  We need to be able to load the whole set into Lightroom, do a quick look at the video, then as John Beardsworth says, pass selected videos (and images) later to Premiere Pro for assembly.  It is very poor to see for how long Adobe has failed to process this very common professional file format.

        Lightroom is a good (if imperfect) tool for managing videos together with other camera-produced material. Premiere and Premiere Elements are for editing and combining them.

            Why are you using Lightroom instead of Premiere for videos? It seems that even Premiere Elements would be a better choice.

            Victor's original feature request was merged into another topic requesting HEVC support on LR Windows. But Victor is asking for something different, support for other HEVC encodings used by DJI (DLog-M and HLG) that apparently don't work on either Mac or Windows.   I've seen other posts in the forums about DJI videos that wouldn't import, and perhaps they were encountering similar issues.

            I'll fork this back as a new feature request.
