I just ingested my first project into PM6+ and get weired results importing mixed photo+video project. The ingest folder contains a series of photos and 3 .mp4 video files. After ingesting, the video files are missing their ".mp4" file extension. Photos still have ".jpg"

The photos get renamed to "k_no{frame}_ev{ev}_{datesort}-{timesortlong}"

The same folder ingested with PM5 shows no problems. Something must has changed...

What could be the reason for the missing file extension on video files?

No idea.  Can you shoot a short (small) video and post it here, please?  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your .MP4 file.

Thanks,
