I have taken out the subscription for Lightroom and I can not import my videos. I have tried reinstalling the program and nothing works. The videos will play with Quicktime and they can be imported to Photos on my iMac.
Please help as I am very frustrated.

Hey Gordon, some more details would probably be helpful.

What type of videos are you trying to import?
Are you getting any error messages?
Can you explain the exact process you're going through to import and what's happening, perhaps with some screenshots of what you're seeing?

I am trying to importing .MOV files from Canon G10 and from my Nikon D800. Neither works. I have tried fromm a folder on my desktop and a folder within Photos on my iMac. Again neither works.
I just tried clearing the Cache and still nothing. I have included two screen grabs for you to look at.
Thanks.

Thanks

I am having a similar problem  running LR CC 2015.10 under windows.  I can't import or play an MP4 file.  I just upgraded to this release today,  and it worked yesterday.  Have tried purging the video cace but that step never finishes.

How do we contact Adobe directly?

From your email to Julieanne: "dynamic link server failed(1) GOPR3456.MP4”  This is what connectsLightroom to the DVA DLL/service that renders video. If that’s not running, I’dsuggest restarting your computer and relaunch Lightroom. I suspect it willlaunch the service and you’ll be able to play the video.

Jeffrey, that was a great idea, if only it worked....Sadly, I still get the same error trying to import the video, or playing videos previously imported before upgrading to LR CC 2015.10.

Here is a link to the video I've been trying to import

I also went to the link you mentioned earlier, but it just takes you to Adobe support, and the only support option appears to be via the forums, there is no pone number listed or a link to request help via chat.
