P: Crashes upon clicking on a Video file

[SooHK]

Lightroom crashes everytime I click on a video file (MP4), attached is the video of the crashes. I have send a crash report

Your crash report is not available to users on this forum. 

I'm not having that trouble on a Windows machine.  I have a variety of container types including .MTS, .MOV and .MP4.   Each of those can have a variety of codecs that may or may not work with Lightroom.   With what little you've provided, I will guess that you may need to do a reinstallation, you may need to reset you Lightroom preferences or your MP4 has an unsupported codec in it. 

What operating system are you using?  What is the source of your MP4?  Can you use the (free) MediaInfo program to post the "tree view" contents of your MP4 file?

I am on MacOsCatalina, its an old video file (from a phone) that have been imported and edited in previous LR since 2019.

I am having the same issue with MOV files from my Nikon D600.  I can't open them in the Loupe view - Lightroom Classic locks up and crashes.  It also won't include the video clips in Slideshows.  I am using a PC with Windows 10.  And I recently updated to Lightroom Classic version 11.0.  However, I have never been able to open video files in Lightroom Classic nor my original Lightroom version 6.  I would appreciate any help with this.

I have the same problem- cannot play videos.  Problem not existing prior to v11.  MacOS Catalina.

Hi, Thanks for reporting this. We are not able to see this issue on Win or Mac. Could you please share the Video file with which you are facing this issue ? Or is it happening with all Video files ? Also do share your system information, by going to HELP -> SYSTEM INFO...

[SooHK]

Yes every exisiting video file that I have imported. My video file is more than 47 mb, how do I share it to you?

I have uploaded a smaller video file which also has the same issue. 

[SooHK]

#update# Issue still persists in V11.01

[SooHK]

#Update# Issue Still remains with V11.10

[Jens22409451d3fo]

Same problem here. Older Mac from 2012, lates OS and latest Lightroom classic. LR crashes immediately when opening any video file, old from eg 2004 to latest Xmas videos.

[SooHK]

Mine also a Imac from 2012 

[Axel in Sweden]

I have the same problem. Mac OS X 10.15.7 and LR 11.1

[Axel in Sweden]

Mine is also an iMac:

Model Name: iMac

Model Identifier: iMac13,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 3,1 GHz

#update# issue still persists in 11.20, its already 3 months since this has been reported. 

[Robert1679]

Same problem here, LR crashes immediately when opening any video file.  Works as expected on M1 MacBook Air/Monteray.  Bombs instantly everytime on 2012 iMac/Catalina.  

Followed suggest troubleshooting actions here, no difference

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues.html

Created new "test" catalog with a few imports, no difference

Video from mutiple devices, no difference, instantlly bombs Lightroom.

Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.2, no difference.

So frusterating to invest both time and money, to no avail!

[SooHK]

#update#  Crashes still persists in 11.30, its already 5 months plus since this has been reported. 

[SooHK]

#Update# Updated to Version 11.3.1, Lightroom continue to crash.
