P: (Win 11) - Video file will not import (works in Local mode)
Version: 8.0
Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Hi,
in Lightroom CC v7.5, I was happily importing H.265 (aka HEVC) into Lightroom straight from the Camera. Now in v8.0, this no longer works, sending me on a wild goose chase to install HEIC and HEVC extensions, costing me 1 USD. (ok, I will survive, but still). Despite installing all that, it still doesn't work. Going back to v7.5 restores the ability to import H.265. I am happy to provide a sample file.
Steps to reproduce:
1) update to v8.0
2) create an H.265 recording on OM Systems OM-1
3) try to import said file
Expectation:
Import preview shows thumbnail, allows to select the file and import makes the file available in Lightroom CC eco system
Actual:
Thumbnail is black. On hover, shows an error about needing HEVC extension
