Hi LR version 10.4

Ok were getting therer…..thanks

Ive seen the folder called MP_root, inside is folder 100ANVDI so the vids are there and they will play in LR ….but no preview available? the main thing is they are now in Lightroom.

Moving to the develop module….dont suppose you can make basic adjustments exposure/shadows to video files can you?

No, you can't work with video in Develop.

You can tweak some settings using the Quick Develop panel in the Library module.  If you're not seeing all the controls, click the little triangles to expand the sections...

 

Overall, LrC isn't really good at dealing with video though, imho.  Outside of basic cataloging, I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you want real video editing capabilities.

Some details would help, like...

What version of Lightroom?

What OS?

What steps are you doing and where is the processing failing?

Are there any error messages?

Have you been able to import videos from this camera in the past?

Can you import videos from a different camera?
