Lightroom CC: Video capture date shifts 7 hours ahead (android to pc to lightroom cc)

I've had this problem for quite a long time, Google Pixel and Pixel 2 devices. I think it might be something about a confusion between GMT and local time zone but have no particular insight.

Did you use the native camera on your Samsung 7 or did you use a third party app?

Native camera.

Hi Rick -- any update on this issue?

A likely cause of this problem is that the QuickTime/MP4 spec requires capture time to be recorded in UTC but doesn't provide a standard way to record time zone.  Some camera firmware and app software record time zone in non-standard locations. (Even more confusingly, many cameras record local time, because they don't have any notion of UTC.)

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. 

Thanks John.

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

ExifTool shows all the dates in the video as 2017:11:25 21:11:01 (9:11 pm 11/25/17).  Clearly the video was taken during the day (great dog!) -- assuming you're in PST (UTC - 8), you took it at 1:11 pm?

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.

Since the new Lightroom cc is intended four more of a consumer audience who don't want to mess around with their photos as much as someone who uses Lightroom classic, I hope and would expect Adobe to have a resolution for this issue that requires no manual work around by the user. A manual workaround resolution is a no-go for me.
