I am very anxious to move to the new Luminar DAM!  I long for the day I get ditch LR6 and Apple Photos.  I hate LR6 and don't trust Photos totally with their library management, but use it anyway.  Somethings I would love see (and ask if it's coming) are:

1. Movie file support within the DAM. I understand that Luminar will not be a video editor, but as a DAM, I have come to rely on having my images/videos living side by side in LR or Photos. This would avoid the need for an additional "movie only DAM" to live side by side with Luminar.  If this is coming, great! If not, I'm willing to be that I'm not alone with this request. 
2. iCloud photo sharing. I doubt Apple has an API for this, but ideally, images could be shared to iCloud photo streams directly from Luminar without having to export images from the Luminar DAM and then imported into a separate Apple Photos library to share.  That's a pain and something I can't stand about using LR and the reason Photos is my main DAM at the moment. 
3. In the future (not critical to start), robust printing options from within Luminar.

I can't wait to move to the new DAM, thanks for a terrific current product and the future!

  Hi Ken,

  Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I will be sure to pass your feature requests to our developers. I can tell you that the initial release of the Luminar Library will not be able to catalog video files, but we'll likely add that functionality in the future.

  Showing video files in the DAM would be great! Just a viewer/player would be a good start I think, later perhaps a bit of cropping functionality would be highly recommend. It is a bit annoying if you would like to show someone your album that the movies are left out....
