Working with video in the Library module of Lightroom Classic offers some simple tools for previewing, setting poster frames, and creating stills from frames that can be exported to the Develop module. Lightroom Classic imports many common digital video files from digital still cameras. You can preview video clips in the Loupe view of the Library module, scrub videos, set poster frames, and more.
To know about the supported video formats, see Supported video file formats in Lightroom Classic.
If you wish to edit videos in Lightroom, see:
- To import video files into Lightroom Classic, follow the same steps as you would to import photos. See Import photos from a folder on a hard drive.
- To preview a video, double-click it in the Grid view of the Library module to enter Loupe view. Then, click the Play button
in video playback control bar. Click the Pause button 
to pause playback. - To manually preview (scrub) the clip, drag the current-time indicator
in the video playback control bar. - To set a new thumbnail image (poster frame), move the current-time indicator to the desired frame, then click Frame button
and choose Set Poster Frame. - To create a JPEG still image from the current frame, click the Frame button and choose Capture Frame.
Note: Lightroom Classic stacks the capture frame with the video clip. The stack is only visible when viewing All Photographs or the folder containing the clip. If you captured the frame while in a collection, the frame will be added to the collection but the stack will only be visible when in All Photographs or the containing folder. Neither the frame nor the stack will be visible when viewing smart collections, published collections, Quick Collection, Previous Import, or other built-in collections.
- To shorten the clip, click the Trim Video button
and then drag the start or end marker to the desired location.
- To export videos from Lightroom Classic, follow the same steps as you would to export photos. See Export files to disk or CD.
You cannot open videos directly from Lightroom Classic into Photoshop.
If you edit the metadata of a video file in the Library module, the changes are stored in the Lightroom Classic catalog. The information is not available to other applications. You cannot see or edit the video camera’s capture time in Lightroom Classic.
