P: Support for importing Live Photos (iOS 9, iPhone 6s)

Markinho,
What happens when you import those files? Do they get imported?
See if you can send those problematic files to us.

Thanks,
Sunil

Hi again,
Just imported a few photos, videos and Live_photos.
There is a bug somewhere with the videos of the Live_photos ( iPhone 7 plus, iOS 10.0.2, LR 2015.6.1) but I do not know where.
In the finder all the videos are working fine.
In the import windows and in LR, some of the videos from Live_photos are bugged. Normal videos are not. I tryed to download from the phone again, same result.
The screenshot shows 1 Live_photo ok and 2 broken ones.

Yes please, add support for live photos.
It is now very popular and make sense.
Please make it as fun and nice as it is on iOS but let us access .jpg and .mov separately if we want to do so.

Adobe, do you realize that this "new" picture format is out there for more than one year on that you do not propose a serious support in Lightroom yet ?

What should I do with these live photos ?
Will I ever be able to playback the ones I already imported or shoud I keep waiting to do a correct import after you release an update to support this format ?

Also in a second time, a Live_photo to GIF or MOV export is important to share them, what do you think ?

Please give us a feedback.
Thank you.

Thanks for bring this up. A fix is underway.
We found that the issue appears when you import directly from iPhone.
One workaround is: Copy files to the system using Photo app and then import.

Thanks,
Sunil

Hey, I was told to post this here instead of the Lightroom Mobile Adobe forum:

From what I understand, Apple's changes in iOS 10 make it easier for developers to integrate live photo support into their apps. I'm curious if Adobe will be updating Lightroom/Lightroom Mobile to support this photo format better? I'm always sad that when I upload my files to Lightroom and then flush my camera roll I'm losing a lot of good information – either that or making it really hard to access. -Quin 

I don't mind having the .mov file and the .jpg file as separate files in my catalog, but if I import them at the same time I can't see the .jpg, as it thinks it's just a preview jpg of the movie (like with raw+jpg).

I was also looking for a simple way to import Live Photos into Lr.

I use Lr mobile to auto-import all iPhone photos and videos. Lr mobile seems to treat each Live photo as a normal jpeg, completely ignoring the movie part while importing regular videos without any problems. I also find that there is no problem editing the jpegs (originating from a Live Photo) in either Lr mobile or Lr desktop when they have been uploaded via Lr mobile, a problem Adam mentioned.

Lr desktop does recognise and import all the 0:02s movies from my iPhone if I connect it directly via USB.

While I am happy that I can import them into Lr at all it would be nice if Adobe would add support for both the jpeg and movie part of Live Photos to upload directly through Lr mobile.

Adobe please add support for Live Photos. Interestingly they import fine using LR mobile on iPhone or iPad - so you can then acces them via shared / cloud collections. The issue is only with desktop version of LR even on Mac

Adobe, please support live photos.

I'll join the parade. Adobe, please add support for live photos in Lightroom.
