How to export every second or every third image out of lightroom?

Hi,
I have collected 30000 photos from a WebCam and I would like to make a time lapse. Pictures are taken every 15 Minutes and they are in sequence order (00001...00002...etc). I actually dont need them all for the time lapse and would like to export only lets say every third or every fourth picture. How can I do this with Lightroom?
Thx for your help,
Felix

Hi thx for your help,
I have now come to complete different solution. Because I am renaming all files before the import to Lightroom (with vRenamer, cool programm), I have found a little terminal command (extremly fast) which does exactly what I want (I just googled that, so not my credit):
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/NewFolder ; IFS="\n" ; find ~/Desktop/TestFiles -type f | sort -f | while read ; do scp "${REPLY}" ~/Desktop/NewFolder/ ; read ; read ; done
Newfolder = the folder in which the nth copies going into
Testfiles = the source folder
At the end there ; read ; read which will skip 2 files. If you wish to skip more files than add more "read" as you like.
After doing this I got in "NewFolder" something like pic_001 pic_004 pic_007 etc. I than rename the files with vRenamer to get them in sequence 001,002,...etc and essentially import them into lightroom.
Cheers
Felix

My macbook lag every second on every game, Including the DOCK!?!?!?!

Okay, as I've explained in the previous thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2667172&tstart=1
My lag is very baaaaad, I cant play a game after i start it and play a minute or two, then it comes. **** found the way to my computer. Satan. It lags a second, then its normal speed again, and then lags a second again, that happens until i play around with the grapich, Its best if i put on highest which makes it lags like *** And then reduce it again, or otherwise. And most of the time it doesnt even work to do that. And the DOCK lags too when i have many apps open. It slows down a second, then it speeds up again, then slows down. Its ******* annoying when im playing a game, like if i run on an edge, or towards one, and it slows down or speeds up, im ******* dead. Its so ******* annoying i dont know what the heck i should do.
Thank you.

1. Try to refrain from expletives as they get censored and all those * can leave us wondering what you are saying.
2. For us here on the forums to help you, we need some information about:
a. White macbook, 2.26 ghz, 2 gb ram, year, i am not sure, midle 2010 i guess, or early 2010, the edges of it is like, round.
b. 250 gb, and like 100 gb free.
c. 2 gb
d. Any application gets lagged, Minecraft, Counter strike source, Air hockey, i really mean EVERY application. I'm WAY over the system reqs.
e. The mobile broad band application. But there's nothing else. It lags without that app too. Its way much worse if i restart my computer too.

How to export 4 second clips from GB as mp3?

I'm trying to export little 4 second clips from a voice narration in GB as mp3 files.
I tried saving the 4 second clips as loops... but they still seem connected to the rest of the audio track.
Do I have to start a new project for each new 4 second clip and then save that separately?
I'm a total GB newbie... so THANKS for any pointers in the right direction.
p.s. I want each GB clip to retain the filtering I've added to the voice.
Thanks...

The next time can you copy the answer to this forum directly? Very good collection of hints, but a horrible design and commercial background.

How to export each object as a separate image?

I do not have a wealth of experience with Illustrator, and was given a website design to translate into html/css content. I'd really like for someone to tell me that there's a nice, simple way to export each OBJECT as its own FILE (png, bmp, jpg, realistically anything will work for these buttons). Is there a plugin or built-in feature that will accurately do this?
I noticed that it can be SLICED by GUIDES, but that seems counter-intuitive. Why not just use the standard size of each object to crop than by creating a huge grid of guides?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated; I'm not having the greatest first experience with Illustrator thus far.

I do this by hiding all the objects except for the one that I want to export. The way I set up my layers when creating a file makes it easy for me to do this; several clicks at the most. However, I can easily imagine scenarios where this method would be a real pain.
Here is how I think it should work: it should export whichever object is selected. If you want to export the whole thing, then either select the whole thing or select nothing.

How to export PDF to HTML with JPEG image format (not PNG)?

Hello,
When I export a ".pdf" file to ".html", using Acrobat 11 Pro, the program creates a subdirectory with ".png" image files.
I need these images to be in the ".jpg" format, not ".png".
Do any of you know how to change this setting? I am assuming that it is not a permanent default...
Thank you,
brivera0

Alas, I checked on my Acrobat XI before posting. That setting was removed.

Every second or third row

a statement SELECT Column FROM Table returns all elements of Column ...
is there any way to return only every second or every third or every ...-th element?

I don't know about other databases, but in Oracle every row has a pseudo-column ROWNUM that you can use to do this easily. For example, every other row ought to be:
SELECT Column FROM
(SELECT Column, rownum i FROM Table ORDER BY somethinguseful)
WHERE mod(i, 2) = 0

Write to measurement file VI - every second, is that too fast ?

I use the write to measurement file VI to save 5 values + a comment to a file. The VI is in a loop. The VI adds new values to the same file every time it is called. In one of the tutorials it is said "VIs can be more efficient if you avoid opening and closing the same files frequently". I understand that; the write to measurement file VI does open and close the same file every time it is called.
I want the VI called every second to save new data. Tests I did with this rate did show problems. However, what is meant by frequently? Every second? Every millisecond? So my question is: is saving every 1 second, like I want, likely to cause problems, or isn't that time period hardly a problem? Or is there a better solution (although this VI gives me all possibilities I want, including saving a comment and saving to multiple files with nice filenames; I would really like to use this VI).

The answer lies halfway between mine and Nukem's answers. Instead of storing all values in a shift register until the end, you simply store them, for say 1 hour, and append to the file. This also enables you to save some of your data in the event of a power failure or something.
Use a nested for loop, the inner loop will run for say, 50 or 100 iterations, storing values in a shift register array. Upon exiting this loop, the data is appended to your file. The outer for loop will run for how many iterations out need.
For some simple examples, lets say you need 10,000 loops and you want to save every 100 iterations. Have the inner loop run 100 times and the outer loop run 100 times.

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

Issues exporting out of lightroom 4

I've recently encounterd a problem while trying to export images out of Lightroom 4. I keep getting an error messge "File canot be written." This is happening whether I'm exporting a Jpeg or a raw file. Cannot figure what has happend but it's doing it with old and new files, so it's not an issue of a corrupted file. Anyone have any experience with this particular issue?
Dan

The message tends to indicate an issue with the destination drive. Have you checked there's adequate free space? Have you checked write permissions? Have you tried alternative destinations for the exports?

With every second or third file I want to export I get the remark "Not enough memory"

After I have edited an image in Lightroom CC I always export my files to an external hard drive. Lately I get the remark "Not enough memory with every second or third file. Sometimes even with the first file I want to export.
My RAM memory is 4.00 GB and I stil have 3.25 GB available. I have cleaned my C-drive. When I look at the specifications of LR CC I see that there is a fysical memory available of 719 MB, but LR is using more than that, so it is probably using virtual memory. Could that be the problem and how do I solve the problem.
I never have any of this problem with other software.

I have LR 5.3 installed on 2 partitions on the same PC and same HD:
Partition 1 has Win 7 32bit 4GB RAM
Partition 2 has Win 7 64bit 8GB RAM
On the 32bit partition, now that I am using larger raw files from a Nikon D610, I find LR not fit for purpose. I get numerous problems while editing and also get "Not enough memory" when exporting.
On the 64bit partition, everything works as should.
AS I've said before: With image files getting increasingly larger, Adobe are way too optimistic, and dare I say - disingenuous, when stating in their System Requirements: "2GB of RAM (4GB recommended)". This can only lead to dissatisfied customers.
So, as dj_paige says: "The best solution, almost guaranteed to work, is to have both a 64 bit operating system AND 8 GB or more of memory. Upgrading only one or the other probably won't work, you need both."
Works for me!

1080p 25fps exported to 1080p 23.98fps uncompressed Quicktime that stutters every second

I am authoring a blu-ray and the QuickTime file of the feature is 25fps. I didn't think it would be a big deal and just set Premiere to export the 25fps timeline to a 1080p uncompressed QuickTime at 23.98 but the picture hiccups every second like clockwork.
Can anyone tell me how to get around the frame skip hiccup when converting a PAL 25FPS HD file to a 23.98? Thanks in advance!

is retiming an option?
in the 90's when I was doing commerical dvd authoring in Australia (PAL) our masters were often from NTSC telecine transfers.
We re-interpreted the video as 25 from 24 and then speed and pitch shifted the audio.
It's a pretty common method. For example the NTSC DVD release of "The Thomas Crown Affair" (Brosnon version) obviously used 25fps audio retimed down to 24fps for the titles and then a different audio file at 24fps for the feature because the loop music in the title matches the opening credit music and you can hear it drop pitch when you go from the menu to the feature.
If that isn't an option then you're pretty much going to have to put up with the stutter since you're dropping 1 in 25 frames on the floor.

"Ghost" page numbers on every second page - how to remove?

Hi,
I'm setting a short book with Pages and after importing from Word, I'm seeing duplicate, partially hidden additional page numbers on every second page. I'd like to remove them entirely, keeping Pages' page numbering. Removing and inserting page numbers doesn't help and the second set of numbers can't be selected in any way (clicking, dragging don't work). One solution would be to re-import from word, deselecting page numbers beforehand, but I'd rather like avoid this step as I made many changes in Pages.
Here's a screenshot showing the duplicate page numbers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3304376/pages_bug.png
Does anybody have an idea how to remove them?

Hello,
Sometimes in the process of importing from Word, page numbers are improperly converted to Master Objects or Background Objects. Go to Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. Then, with the cursor in the Margin of the document, press the Command Key (Cursor changes to an Arrow) and drag the cursor diagonally across the page number to select it. Then press the Delete key and the number should be gone. You need to check carefully to make sure that you have eliminated all the instances. There may be one per Section.
