Moving folders-Lightroom Classic

When moving a folder with a video in it, if the video preview is visable in the grid, the folder will not move and will fail. If another photo is previewed it moves with no problem. WIN-10 LR version 11.4

This is just a thought, to preview the video LrC has to play the video so it's running and the system is not allowing you to move the folder. When you have a image file selected LrC is displaying the already produced preview.

I think you're right. Video is loaded to show on screen versus a preview. I've now figured out that to move a folder, no video can be selected. Thanks.

I just moved a folder with videos in Lightroom Classic, inf fact I moved this folder 3 times, no problem.

 

Please explain, step-by-step, in detail, leaving nothing out, how you are attempting to do this move. Provide lots of details. LOTS OF DETAILS.

Since Photoshop was not mentioned, I've moved this from Photoshop where you posted to Lightroom Classic.
