I use LRC for all photoediting and photo and video organization. I use an iPhone for all photo and videography. My workflow: Take photo/video. Auto upload to iCloud. Rule in Photos keeps all in a Smart Album until I move them into an album. Periodically delete unwanted photos/videos from Smart Album, then export all unmodified original contents of Smart Album to a folder on my desktop. Switch to LRC to import all photos/videos. Continue to discard, keyword, rate photos & videos. File videos by year on external drive. Copy all photographs to a collection which is synched to Adobe Cloud (which allows viewing in LR on my iPhone), and then move the photos to files by year. This solution keeps all photos and videos on my hardware (which is backed up by Time Machine), allows me to see all my photos on my iPhone in LR. SInce they are also availabe in Photos, I can use search tools in both.
Here's what I'd like to see:
1. LRC continually pulls all photos and videos directly from Apple Photos.
2. LRC plays videos a lot smoother than it does now, supports setting poster frame (current ability), clipping both ends of the video, and adding a title frame.
3. Keywords added in LRC are searchable in LR on iPhone (although AI is getting pretty good).
I find it very useful to have the same tools for finding videos as I do for finding photos. This is an existing feature of LRC that I've never seen advertised.
