I can't get Lightroom mobile desktop to accept my MP4 or MOV movies. Lightroom classic excepts movie formats, why doesn't Lightroom mobile?

    Lightroom (cloud/mobile version) has limited video format support compared to Lightroom Classic. If your MP4 or MOV files aren’t importing, they may use unsupported codecs. Lightroom Classic supports a wider range of video formats, which is why they work there. Try converting the files to a more compatible format (such as standard H.264 MP4) before importing into Lightroom mobile.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
