P: mobile: Video Import

After the last LR Mobile update (iOS), much to my chagrin the app imported videos (!) from my Camera Roll and synced them to the desktop. I could even play the video. I don't know about anyone else but this is *huge* to me and eliminates other steps/apps/complexity to get videos from the phone into LR.

Awesome work!

However, after that first joyous day, videos stopped importing into the app. Was this some kind of accidental feature release that Adobe disabled for a future date hoping no one would notice? Just a fluke? Anyone else?

Thanks, love the direction LR Mobile is taking. Now just lockout mode (viewing only), keywording, and maybe faces and you'll seal the deal with this happy subscriber!

    Thanks for pointing out the "..." option. Totally did not see this. Somehow after switching iPhones the video option wasn't on by default and I lost about 4 months of videos (maybe 5-6 videos in total) due to auto-importing and not making sure everything was imported properly (trusting that videos would be imported anyways). Oh well - now I fixed it.

    I didn’t realize that was an option. Good find. You are welcome, and thank you for pointing that out!

    So, what I was experiencing was that videos weren’t being listed when attempting to add, however, upon checking again after your post I finally noticed the “...” in the corner. Video wasn’t checked. This had to have been a default setting because I experienced the same behavior on both my iPhone and iPad, leading me to believe video import wasn’t available. Thank you for making me look again since I’d missed that....

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, but I:

    * Took a video using the iOS Camera app
    * Opened LR Mobile
    * Clicked the "+<photo image>" button
    * Selected videos and photos from my Camera Roll by swiping (they have a "VIDEO" label superimposed on them) and tapped "Add X Photos" at the bottom -- note you can also select one with a tap and then tap the checkmark in the upper-right corner

    At this point it imports the videos and photos (if any were selected) into LR Mobile and syncs to LR and LR Classic on my Mac.

    To whomever administers the tags on these entries, I'll reiterate that this still has not been completely implemented!  As long as I cannot import videos using the "+" button in the app, or via the shortcuts interface for importing media, this *SHOULD NOT* be marked as implemented.

    Jason, you are not the only one.  I've only really used this feature to ingest camera roll video and to that extent it's been great to have it just "be" in my LR CC Classic catalog.  But these shortcomings and the outright lack of the feature on Android, I would agree that this is a bummer.

    So, yes, I'm able to import videos only through the auto-import method and not manual import.   Am I the only one that thinks this is a half-ass implementation and this absolutely is still an issue until both manual import and export exist...
