Question

Lightroom CC 4k video export

Hello,

I have used Lightroom a long to organize my photo and video catalog. However, after the latest equipment purchase I have need to export videos in 4k. Is that true that there is not any way to export videos as 4k? It looks that videos can only be encoded to 1080p. Of course it is always possible to just export original unedited video but trimming and quick develop tools are so powerful that I would like to use them.

"Is there any chance the Lightroom product manager Tom Hogarty responding to this issue?"

 

Adobe product developers rarely participate in this forum.  I see that you've added your opinion to this feature request in the official Adobe feedback forum, where Adobe wants all product feedback:

https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom-and-4k-export

 

But you haven't yet clicked Vote in the upper-right corner. Adobe product developers do read every post in the feedback forum, but given that feature request is two years old and few people have voted for it (in comparison to other requests), I think it's unlikely that we'll see a response from a senior product manager.

I totally agree with you it is now January 2020 and will also benefit tremendously from LR been able to export 4K video edited basic functions such as " length of the video " and add keywords and exported as a short 4K clip. Having some very basic video editing function it is a MUST for LR also will be ideal to be able to make collections ect , with video as an archival system the same as with pictures . Premiere Pro can not do that ...Media Browser is totally different .
Come on Adobe ...!!! be have been asking for this for years now..!!!..it would be so good .
Kind regards.

Does anyone know if there is likely to be an update to allow exported of 4k video from LR CC?

I seriously doubt it.

LR is a Still image management and editing program. If you are working mainly with video you should look for some other Video management and editing software.

Or use Bridge and Premier Pro.

Yet another update for Lightroom without support for exporting 4K video.  The really is pathetic.

Lightroom can only export 1080 p videos as of now. You may share you feedback here Photoshop Family Customer Community

Thanks,

If Lightroom can't export 4K what is the best way to display 4K images on a 4K TV?  Photoshop?  Premier?

If you have Photoshop as part of your package, you can trim video on the time line and then go to:

File >> Export >> Render Video

It should export at the original resolution.
