iOS 12 doesn’t show mp4 videos on SD Card on Import (iPad Pro 10.5)

I’m using Apple's iPad Pro 10.5, which I upgraded into iOS 12 now.

On iOS 11 I used Apple's Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to transfer mp4 videos and photos from SD Card into iPad. Images and photos were taken by Sony camera. Everything worked smooth and fine until I upgraded iPad iOS into version 12. iOS doesn’t show videos anymore. I can import photos, but I¨m unable to import mp4 videos.

Any solution available?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 12

Thank you robertfrommaryville for reporting.

I posted my initial post there on Oct 6, 2018. The bug still remains, even after iOS 12.1 update.

Issue itself is quite simple. Apple's Photos Import doesn't scan MP_ROOT folder for data. Seems that it scans only DCIM folder.

The issue isn’t that the files are not being seen by ios. I can see the files, I can see the thumbnail but it simply doesn’t allow you to import the file when it is a 10bit file or high frame rate.

Keep in mind it worked before update.

Thank you for response!

Seems that this issue is some sort of bu or lack or poor development. How Apple missed that?

I have this problem importing videos (and importing photos is not so great either) using both an iPad and iphoneX with iOS12.

Is Apple fixing this problem reported by many people?

Videos suppose to be in TV app, or photos. For now try do it the old fashioned way, use iTunes on computer. Load videos to computer, and have iTunes copy videos to your ipad.
