P: mobile: Video Import

After the last LR Mobile update (iOS), much to my chagrin the app imported videos (!) from my Camera Roll and synced them to the desktop. I could even play the video. I don't know about anyone else but this is *huge* to me and eliminates other steps/apps/complexity to get videos from the phone into LR.

Awesome work!

However, after that first joyous day, videos stopped importing into the app. Was this some kind of accidental feature release that Adobe disabled for a future date hoping no one would notice? Just a fluke? Anyone else?

Thanks, love the direction LR Mobile is taking. Now just lockout mode (viewing only), keywording, and maybe faces and you'll seal the deal with this happy subscriber!

    Ok, so I am specifically talking about manual import, since I don’t want to muddy my LRCC with spurious crap that occasionally makes its way into my camera roll.

    I guess I could give that a try, to enable to auto and see if it’ll get pulled in after an import into Photos. Just still useless though if I can’t get it back out for editing...

    IOS can definitely do it using the auto import (not tried it for a while using manual import.

    Android still can't import video at all (or view it)

    I'm unable to import or export videos on iOS...  maybe Android?

    For export, all of the options under the share menu are greyed out.  On import, when selecting from my camera roll all of the videos aren't displayed.

    This is a non-issue now isn't it?  At least for me.  Videos can be imported just like photos.

    4 year old request, including a comment from the Queen herself... and nothing.  <facepalm>

    I'm honestly trying to give Adobe a chance here, because I like the premise of having my lightroom experience synced between my iPhone, iPad and desktop, but not being able to handle videos in any meaningful way really hinders the benefit.   I'm BETTER off using iPhotos for my video off my camera! <double face palm>

    That said, this needs to be two way.  Not just import, but the fact that I cannot export video into something like Lumafusion really hinders me (re-iterate I'm better off using iPhotos for general organization of videos).

    No word from Adobe on this yet.   Here's some other threads related specifically to Android and Video in LRCC Mobile.

    Please add to Android. Inexcusable that it isn't.

    I found this one thread which requests this feature for Android: 
    https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/add-support-for-video-files-on-lightroom-cc-f...

    Until video import and upload for android is added to LR CC Mobile, does anyone know methods for getting Android videos into LR?

    Sorry to bring up this old post but having just migrated from an iPhone to a Pixel 2 I've noticed that while the iOS client has had video import for a while now, the Android client doesn't seem to support video at all (import or view)...

    This was a really useful feature that I'd love to get back ... are there any plans to add it to the Android client (or is it about to be removed from the iOS one)?

    btw, I really like Steve's suggestion re granular control over what can sync when; that would be great!
