Export jpg with sequence with LightRoom 4.2

Exporting jpgs is fine to watch them on TV or wherever. The problem is the incorrect order in the resulting filenames. They go like
pic-1
pic-10
pic-11
pic-2
pic-3
MUCH BETTER would be:
pic-001
pic-002
pic-010
pic-011
just like Photoshop Elements does it.
Any way to get that?

Absolutely. In your Export options, you have file renaming options. These include numbering to as many padded zeroes as you want:
In order to include a particular naming item within the filename pattern, you would click Insert next to that after selecting which variant you want from the menu shown in the screenshot. This adds a corresponding new field into the template, which you can then manually edit further with removing prior items, typing in dividing spaces or dashes, fixed text etc.
If you select "sequence" numbering, for example - this should reflect any custom order you have put your images into. The first one seen in LR then becomes (e.g.) "img-001.jpg", the next "img-002.jpg" and so on. If you wanted to retain your original filename in there for reference, but still lead with this custom ordered sequence, you could assemble something like "001-[IMG_2345].jpg", "002-[IMG_2127].jpg", etc.

Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

Hi all,
My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

Hi,
I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection. To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !) over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export. For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi. Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi. At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
Finally, here's my question (or three):
Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?
Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
John.

These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Best Way to Import/Export Still Image Sequence With FCP & Photoshop

I am working on a FCP project and need to fix a couple frames using photoshop.
What is the best method to export to Photoshop, import the image in photoshop, make changes, then export out of Photoshop and back into FCP?
It seems whenever I re-import back into FCP, FCP doesn't recognize that they are individual frames, and instead imports each frame as an individual image file lasting several seconds long. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum!
In FCP's preferences, set the Still Frame duration to 1 frame. Locate the clip on the Timeline, set an IN and OUT point and go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. In the Format menu, choose Image Sequence and in the Options menu, choose the file type (I recommend uncompressed TIFF). Next, create new folder for the image sequence and hit the Save button.
After completing the work in Photoshop, go back to your FCP project and go to File->Import->Folder and navigate to the folder containing the corrected images. Drag the entire folder from the Browser to the Timeline.
If for some reason the duration for each is longer than 1 frame, select all and right-click on one and choose Duration from the contextual menu. Change to 1 frame.

URGENT- Exporting jpg from LR with title and captions: how?

Hi,
I need to email some pix before midnight.
In LR metadata section I have info (title and caption). I did export pix as JPGs but can't find the info when I open the pictures now in a folder on my desktop.
How can I make sure the info is attached to the photo? Should I uncheck "Minimize metadata"?
Thanks for your help.
jm47

Thanks Hal. So there is no way to minimize the metadatea but keep the
Title/Caption info?

Export jpg to web with bridge cc

I was using this function with Bridge CS5 and worked perfectly for what I need. Then I signup and paid for entire year for Bridge CC and this function is no longer in Bridge CC even after following the update recommendations.
Where do I go from here without investing in more time and money to learn something else?

How to export image sequence with a specific number

Hello
I'm looking how, like in after, I can export an image sequence with a starting specific number. I spend hours to rename images with Renamer, boring, stupid!
Thank you for helping

Use Bridge. You can do them all at once with Batch Rename.

Materialized View Log table with sequence

I have a materialized view log in Database A..a very simple one...similar to "create materialized view log on t WITH PRIMARY KEY"...The primary key is a composite key of 2 columns...Description of the mlog table looks like this...
desc mlog$_t
emp_ctr NUMBER
emp_date DATE
SNAPTIME$$ DATE
DMLTYPE$$ VARCHAR2(1)
OLD_NEW$$ VARCHAR2(1)
CHANGE_VECTOR$$ RAW(255)
The Materialized view is in database B...again a simple one...no aggregation...This gets refreshed on demand manually evey week. The records that get accumulated in the MLOG every week is ~ 300K..The manual refresh used to finish in about 20mins but since last week it is running for ever. Upon reviewing the contents of MLOG I noticed that it contained a mixture of inserts and updates. I'm not sure if the MLOG contanied only inserts in the past when the MV used to refresh very quickly...Based on the documentation, Oracle recommends creating MLOGS with "sequence" whenever inserts/updates/deleted are expected. I'm planning to drop and recreate the MLOG with sequence with the hope that this would fix the slow refresh issue...Appreciate if you could let me know your thoughs...
I'm also planning to trace the session to get some wait event statistics to find out the reason for the slow refresh...

There are a few reasons why refreshes slow down over time.
1. Is the log table being cleared out after a refresh? If not, you may have another mview (maybe even one that doesn't exist any more) registered against this log. When this happens, the log table never stops growing.
2. How big is the segment occupied by the table? If it has grown very large at some time in the past (e.g., because refresh was delayed), then when the refresh does a FTS on the log it will scan the whole segment - even if only a few rows are present.
3. It may help to add an index to the PK columns, and another to SNAPTIME$$. Without them, the refresh will FTS the log. For a big segment, that can take a long time.

Export settings for sequence from FCP to Avid PC

Hi,
Please can someone give me the best export settings/codecs to use if I need to export a FCP sequence with clips shot on XDCam EX1, 1920x1080i, 35 mbs at the least quality loss possible so that it can be imported into an Avid on PC for titling, effects and other bits added? My on-line editor is on Avid PC.
Many thanks
Belinda

Hee....missed that final sentence somehow.
So...offlining imported footage on FCP that you will online in Avid? What is there to online? You imported at full resolution. Must be color correction.
OK then...you edit in FCP from imported XDCAM EX footage...and you intend to go to Avid for the final color correct and titling. Did you plan for this? Test this? because I am pretty sure that the QT files that were created when you imported with the transfer tool won't work on a PC. Unless you tested and they did. But it appears that they don't as you are asking how to get them there.
Did you not ask this question when you started this show? That is ALWAYS something you do. If you plan on doing a certain workflow, you have to make sure that the workflow in question will work. Offline and online from tape is fairly simple, as you can recapture from the tape...timecode being the big thing there. But this is IMPORTED footage. Full clips, and I don't see how you can import only what is used in a sequence.
This issue, coupled with FCP to Avid...and Avid on a PC no less. Well. Find a codec you can export from FCP that the Avid can read (this will require testing), then MEDIA MANAGE the footage to that codec. Hmm....but then how will the Avid read the FCP project file to reconnect to the footage?
Nope...I stand by my original answer. Output to XDCAM disk and recapture, or to HDCAM or HDCAM SR tape and recapture.

Exporting JPGs with their Original Filename

So, I have these sets of cropping documents with images laid out in them taking up the entire frame, no text or anything else. At the end of the day, I need to export the crops with the original JPGs' naming convention. Right now, I am going through, exporting and then renaming. Sometimes I get sequential images with the same prefix in the same document which is super easy. However, other times there are images with different prefixes, a couple image numbers missing, or even the sequence being out of order. I was wondering if there was a way(maybe a script) out there that would allow me to export JPGs of each page while using the placed JPG's filename. So if page 1 had a JPG named image_1 and page 2 had a JPG named image_4, when I export them, I'd end up with two files, image_1 and image_4.
It might sound silly, but it would be super helpful when exporting documents with 30+ images, sometimes laid out in the incorrect order or with different prefixes. Any one have any ideas? Or even if it would be possible?

has anyone resolved this issue?
This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

Hi David,
Coming in and whining loudly is rude. We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture. Speaking just for myself: although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use. If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X). Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images. You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD. Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky. There are _many_ possibilities. Some things can't be done. Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above). What have you tried? What was the result? In what way did this differ from what you expected?

I have a sequence with 50+ clips, export each separately?

I have a sequence with 50+ clips, each separated by a small gap, can premiere 'scene detect' and export each as a separate file, or do I need to manually adjust the work bar to each each clip and then export?

You could do a project manage, set it to trim clips with no handles to a new location. You'll then end up with a folder full of clips, if you want those converted to a specific output format you can just do a batch export of this folder. It's a very autopilot way of achieving a result, but if there's any effects or re-sizing done to the clips this method would not work.

LR5.3 Export issue with Sequence Renumbering

I just discovered an issue with the LR5.3 Export module on my Windows 7 system when exporting JPEG image files with 'Sequence' File renaming and 'Original' File Settings to a subfolder. When exporting approximately 100 JPEG image files LR shows a file count in the subfolder of ~1/2 the actual file count and the ability to 'Synchronize Folder' disappears. The correct number of files appear in the subfolder using Windows Explorer, so they all were successfully exported and renamed properly. LR must be closed and reopened to restore the ability to 'Synchronize Folders' and/or 'Import' images using the Import module. I've never encountered this problem before since I normally process raw image files, which do not exhibit this issue.
Here are screenshots:

You need Lightroom 5.5 or later (the most current version is 5.7.1). This is a free update if you have already purchased an earlier version of Lightroom 5.
