IPad Pro 12.9” Video Import Error - Canon EOS R - 4K Formats - Editing (ALL-I) vs Standard (IPB)

Hi team,

Ive recently been trying to import video footage from my Canon EOS R / SD card onto iPad Pro via USBC hub.

When connecting the SD card to the hub, and opening the Photos app on ipad to import the video footage, it shows a red exclamation mark symbol in the bottom right of the file.

Doing some research and testing, I’ve concluded that from the EOS R there are many resolutions to record video in, format compression is: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

These resolutions did not work to import and play with IPad Pro 12.9” (Software 13.2.3):

4K 30p - Editing (ALL-I) 480Mbps

4K 24p - Editing (ALL-I) 480Mbps

These formats are OK and compatible with iPad Pro 12.9” (Software 13.2.3):

4K 30p - Standard (IPB) 120Mbps

4K 24p - Standard (IPB) 120Mbps

FHD 1080 60p - Editing (ALL-I) 180Mbps

FHD 1080 60p - Standard (IPB) 60 Mbps

FHD 1080 30p - Editing (ALL-I) 90Mbps

FHD 1080 30p - Standard (IPB) 30 Mbps

FHD 1080 24p - Editing (ALL-I) 90Mbps

FHD 1080 24p - Standard (IPB) 30 Mbps

I tested all of these formats with C-LOG 8-bit on and off and had the same results.

My question to Apple now is, can you confirm that iPad Pro 12.9” with software 13.2.3 does NOT support 4K 30p and 4k 24p with 480Mbps size footage?

Thankyou. Don
