Does that work with your installation of LR 7? I use LR 7, but it refuses to import HEVC videos in the catalog.

In LR 7 imports the videos but doesn't let you play them.  I don't know about 6.14 -- you'll have to try.

Ugg, that is simply not fair but forces us to pay for CC so Adobe wins. 
After re-reading the thread, will LR 6.14 import the HEVC videos so I can catalog them or will it skip them? If it doesn't then I have a even bigger issue on my hands.

Unfortunately, LR 6.14 was the last release of LR 6, so HEVC won't be supported in LR 6.

Please support it on LR 6.14 (or 6.1x)

Many people are asking why they can't import their iPhone videos into LR -- it's a frequent question on the user-to-user forum. For them, it certainly is helpful to know that until LR adds support for HEVC, they can set their iPhone to record in a compatible format.   People come here for solutions that let them get their work done now, as well as to provide product feedback.

That's not a helpful answer, champ. It's not a workaround. His (and my) existing videos can't be used. The workaround would be use a different product other than Lightroom Classic.

Separating Bridge from Lightroom.

Please reference the new conversation here: please add h.265 video support.

We can now import and export from premiere (yay!), but bridge and lightroom will not thumbnail or play videos.  Having to look elsewhere for asset management.
