Question

Can’t upload video from Nikon Z6iii

First time using my Nikon Z6iii for video, and I'm trying to import to Lightroom Classic  14.2 on my Mac Studio M2Max, camera is connected via USB-C. Images import fine, video still shot can be selected on 'import selection' screen, and it looks as though it is going to start importing, but the 'copy and import photos' progress bar in the top left corner of Lightroom never moves, nor does it show anything beyond an empty progress bar. Am I missing something obvious?

I am having issues coming up with a link to reinforce this, but..

Some members have had issues post LrC v14.1 (do I have the ver correct?) when attempting to import photos and videos at the same time. The have to import them separately. And they may even have issues if the source includes both stills and videos even if they only select the stills (some confusion on that)

 

Apparently not fixed

 

You might try importing separately (using a separate USB port may have been a coincidence)

 

P.S. not a MAC user, but on a Windows PC, the various USB ports are not equal,, front ones normally less capable.

    I didn't manage to import the larger (ten minute) video. Ended up using Nikon NX Studio, which imported it immediately. 

    I agree with you - the port isn't the issue. All of the ports on this machine for 'USB-C' are rated to 10Gb/s. 

    I also isolated the video files when importing to Lightroom Classic, and tried to import them one at a time, without importing anything BUT the video files and it only managed the smaller one.  Not sure what the hang up is, but it appears to be an issue...

    Well, I may have answered my own question. This shouldn't have made any difference, but I switched the USB-C cable from one of the front ports on the Mac Studio to one on the back, and managed to get one of my smaller (3GB) videos to upload. Perhaps the camber and computer worked communicating via that front port well. All the ports on this machine should be capable of the same speeds, so I'm really not sure what happened.
