We can now import and export from premiere (yay!), but bridge and lightroom will not thumbnail or play videos. Having to look elsewhere for asset management.

My Phantom 4 Pro drone captures video in H.265; however, I am unable to open the video file in Lightroom cc. Most H.265 video files can be opened in LR, but apparently those from my P4P drone are not compatible; I get an error message. H.264 video files from the drone open ok in LR, just not the H.265. Please help.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Need HEIC (HEIF) and HEVC (H.265) support in Lightroom.Really two problems:
1. Lightroom (Classic or new CC) for Windows or Mac refuses to import these files
2. Lightroom for Mobile on iOS imports these files as JPG/H.264 (unsure if Adobe or iOS is doing the conversion, but if the latter Apple should be pushed for native import), though even if it did, see #1
Why this should be fixed:
-HEIF/HEVC is on by default on new iPhones, so the world's foremost creative company should support it
-HEIF supports many excellent features JPG doesn't, so disabling on the iPhone - although a valid option - is highly undesirable; as an example, I love the Portrait mode fake bokeh, but the iPhone's algorithm is a bit lacking and I'd like to touch up the depth maps regularly but conversion to JPEG doesn't retain them and creating them from scratch would be awful
Why I think this isn't a big ask:
-Photoshop for Mac will open HEIF files
-Premiere Pro for either platform will open either file type
One nice compromise in case HEIF file support can't be brought to all Lightroom platforms in a timely manner would be to convert to DNG or TIFF upon import.
Thank you for reading!
Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Lightroom Classic: Support for HEIC file format.

So I imported them into Apple Photos on my Mac and that worked fine, but now I have to manage separate libraries and have to convert my media to a format Lightroom will read if I want them in there. The suggestion to switch to a compatible format on my iPhone is not acceptable because 1) that does nothing to solve my problem of being unable to import the 1500 photos and videos I've taken since last October, and 2) to be able to shoot in 4k/60fps on the iPhone X, you MUST use the high efficiency codec (you can't use the compatible version).
It has now been 6 months since the iPhone X came out and iOS started using the HEIF/HEVC formats and Adobe still hasn't released an update for Lightroom Classic to support them.
If no update comes soon, I will be canceling my Photography subscription because it will be useless to me.
