Lightroom CC: Video capture date shifts 7 hours ahead (android to pc to lightroom cc)
Since Android LRCC Mobile doesn't import or upload videos (see this thread), I've plugged my phone into my pc via usb. Then I use LRCC to import several videos. The problem is that , for all my imported videos, Lightroom CC shifts the Captured Date/Time 7 hours later than the actual Capture Date/Time. Seems like there must be a Time Zone setting in LRCC that I'm missing.
For example, this video, was captured on Oct-21-2017 at 4:06PM PST. However, LRCC desktop shows its capture date/time as Oct-21-2017 at 11:06PM. See the attached screen cap from LRCC. It shows the capture date 7 hours later than actual.

After many years of complaints, LR 6 (and now LR 7) finally started reading the non-standard time-zone location recorded in video by iOS devices. Somewhat later, an Adobe employee indicated that they may do the same for Nikon and Canon cameras. But they also indicated that Adobe has a policy of getting contractual permission from manufacturers before reading metadata non-standard metadata fields!
If you want to get clarity about this sooner than Adobe might respond, upload a sample video to Dropbox or similar and post the sharing link here. I'll put it under the microscope and confirm if this is what's going on or there is some other problem.

Here's a link to a recent video I uploaded from my phone to Drive.

It looks like the Samsung/Android software strictly obeyed the spec and recorded the capture date in UTC. And there is no time zone or indication of local time recorded in non-standard fields in the video.
There are (at least) a few ways that Adobe could improve this situation (caused by Apple's QuickTime specification failure):
- Adobe could ask Android or Samsung to record time zone in a non-standard field and give Adobe permission to read it. They could suggest the same field that iOS uses.
- LR could infer the time zone from the GPS data (there's a well-maintained database of worldwide time zones they could use).
- LR CC could add the Edit Capture Time command that's been in LR 1 - 7, which would let you manually shift the time shown for the video.
Based on years of Adobe's indifference to capture-time issues, I'm guessing this last may be the best you could reasonably hope for.
