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!

Yes, please add mobile sync for videos.

@ Wolfgang

Really critical point. I couldn't agree more. Even better would be more granular control, like upload video on wifi only, but photos on LTE, etc.

Haven't gotten a chance to test... Does this work in the other direction? Desktop catalog videos > mobile? And are they full-size files? We need a "smart preview" for video...

Great new feature but it should be optional. See this:

Having just pulled another few hundred photos over from lightroom mobile today, (still enjoying the improved workflow or LR Mobile) I then sit back and cringe as the 64 videos did not come across. One day soon, I hope to leave my transfer cable in my bag for good! I am very surprised this does not have more votes.

Small update to the above. In vain hope, I deleted and reinstalled the app. Still no video import, either automatic or manual. However the couple of videos that had auto-imported that fateful day are still there, video badge and all, and play. This is killing me!

Think of it as a very nice surprise and a glimpse of the future. It's not an official feature but it's a popular request.
