My H.265 files were created on a Samsung Galaxy S9 and they could be imported, I wonder what the difference is?

unfortunately this update isn't for all h.265 files but ones created on an iphone. The h265 files created by my DJI Mavic 2 are still unsupported 😞

...great rejoicing from the Mac side maybe, but more gnashing of teeth from the Windows faithful.

Greetings,

The Lightroom family of products was updated today and contains support for this feature for the Mac OS. Please download the new version and give it a try and let us know how it works.

Additional details can be found here; https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html

Windows OS received this functionality as of 9.3 - please see: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/whats-new/2020-3.html#other-enhancements

I fully agree. This delay is ridiculous and lays bare the lie about continuing to prioritize LR Classic support. Of course, it appears from other posts that PS/LR CC also have the problem not only with my DJI drone videos but also with iPhone files.

I've used LR since the early beta version over 10 years ago and have anxiously downloaded the latest and greatest. It appears that the "greatest" is no longer so.

Another vote from me, migrated 23k photos to lightroom CC from Apple Photos to find none of my videos have imported as they are note supported (via Lightroom CC MacOS). Evidently HEIF is supported as these imported correctly. Please support all remaining IOS formats.
