Lightroom 1.1 Slideshow Issues

Hello,
When I click the "play" arrow, or "Impromptu" key from the top tool bar, or "Play All" icon from the right hand of the screen, or any other attempt to get my slideshow to play, all I get is a black screen. I hit "escape", and it immediately goes back to the slideshow I created. If I click the "play" arrow in center screen, it is black inside the center, but I can see that the slideshow is actually "playing" because I see the number of the slide is changing, and at the correct rate (2.0 seconds, with 1.0 second fade). I have changed all settings everywhere and flaggings to try to "see" my slideshow, but just a black screen appears.
The odd thing is that if I exit out of lightroom, and re-open the application, I can get the "play" arrow and "impromptu" button to work a couple times, then they stop working. So I have actually seen the slideshow work a couple times.
If I export the slideshow and save it in Adobe as PDF, it actually saves my pictures, but I have to individually click the pictures in order to see them; there is no slideshow per se.
Any help is appreciated. This is my first attempt at a slideshow so I'm hoping it is my fault, but I'm a little weary because I have gotten it to work a couples times, by pressing buttons that don't work other times. I'm at my wit's end here.
Thanks,
Mindy Lewis

If you are on Windows (and most who experience this issue seem to be) ... try turning off hardware acceleration as a short term workaround:
- right-click an empty area of your desktop, choose properties
- click the Settings tab
- click Advanced
- click the Troubleshooting tab
- set hardware acceleration to None
- click OK to exit
See if that makes a difference. An updated driver is the best solution, but in its absence this may do the trick.

Lightroom 5.4 Slideshow issues

I upgraded to 5.0 a couple of weeks ago. I upgraded to 5.4 yesterday. I went to run a previously saved slideshow with music, fades, etc. the slide show runs, but the screen is black, no images. I created a new slide show in 5.4 and smae problem. Has anyone else seen this issue Why can't I speak to Adobe"? I paid for this software and can't get company support for an obvious bug. Any ideas out there?

Is there anyone that can help? This is frustrating to say the least. The edits are taking effect, but only showing on the filmstrip. If I go back to library the edits are there, and will then show in develop when I take it back again. This makes it just about impossible to apply anything like cloning, or minute edits, because I can't see them when they happen!!

Lightroom 5.2 Slideshow "Export Video" over exposed

Hello, In using Lightroom 5.2 Slideshow (current version), I can export PDF and Jpeg versions of the Slideshow which look good. When I add music and Export Video slideshow the exposure goes up by +1.5 to +2. Help!
I have gone to "Preferences", "Presets", "Store presets with this catalog" (checked)
Thanks,

The video on SMugMug looks very good on my Windows 7 system using both IE 9 and FireFox 24, so it appears there is nothing wrong with the LR video. Check your Grapics adapter's control panel. I'm running an Nvidia graphics card- Right click on a blank area of the Desktop and select Nvidia Control panel, or whatever graphics adapter panel you have.
Try setting the 'Video' section of your panel back to 'Restore Defaults,' or do it manually. In addition, there is a know issue with Nvidia drivers that causes black levels to look washed-out. If using an Nvida card folow the settings shown in the screenshot below and set the 'Dynamic Range' to 'Full (0-255)' and NOT 'Limited (16-235).' Make sure the Conrol panel Video section Gamma and Color settings are at their default settings.
If still having this issue download the latest driver from Nvidia's or AMD's website and install it. If still having the issue provide your OS version, graphics adapter model, and graphics driver version.

Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

Lightroom 4.4 video issues, I think it may be a windows 8 issue.

I am not sure when this started happening or what has changed. I went to import some video and in the import dialog box all my video files show "Preview unavailable for this file" in the thumbnail in the grid view. And if I try to import them i get a dialog box with a message that says Import Results > Some import operations were not performed. > There is a problem with the video file (1) > [Filename].AVI
I am currently using windows 8 and I have imported video to this catalog before from the same camera. The video plays fine in the video players(windows media player, quicktime, and the new video app on windows 8 that is the default player in the OS).
I went throught the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/troubleshoot-video-issues-lightroo m-4.html and did all those suggestions. I am now turning to the forums before I reach out to support.
Has anyone else run into this issue or a simililar one that may be able to give me a workaround or solution?
I am a cloud subscriber and all my programs are up to date. Windows is current, all players are current, and this specific catalog has .AVI files in it from the same camera and the firmware on the camera has never been updated since I started shooting video.
Thanks,
Alex

I had the same problem -- also on Windows 8. I was trying to import .MOV files from an Olympus OM-D E-M5 into Lightroom and got the error you mentioned.
I believe it was a problem with my QuickTime installation. I was using an unofficial distribution of QuickTime called "QT Lite", and apparently it doesn't play well with Lightroom. Uninstalled that, installed the latest QuickTime and video imports started to work.
Unfortunately I then ran into this other problem, which sometimes causes video editing to fail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/972420

Lightroom mobile trial expired issue

I have CC Master and in my installation of Lightroom, it only tells "Lightroom Mobile Trial Expired". Same in iPad. "Your trial period has ended"
I installed it way back almost right away, when it was announced. I also posted a note on a forum about this, and the guy said this would be fixed well before trial was over.
I mean: come on! Someone already said that this is a thing Adobe is working on and that it should be resolved well before trial period is over. Well it is not!
Could you please fix this. I am fed up with all the crap I have been having with CC subscription. Not the first time I have had issues with it. Once I spent two hours with chat tech support trying to fix something that should have been just working.
Crappy, crappy, crappy work, Adobe. I am losing my faith here, and I am not alone.

Hello keith.
That is not true Keith. If it is like you say I could not have the trial version and I had it during a month without any problem!
Saludos, de margaret y un buen día.

Margaret, Mobile is only available to CC subscribers because it needs the cloud as the mechanism for syncing between Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile.
Maybe they could say it more explicitly, but the necessity of CC membership is pretty clearly implied (several times) by this page:

Slideshow issues with Lightroom vers 3.1

I tried to create a slideshow for a client using my previous version of Lightroom (2.7) but had issues with the selection of music to play in the background. Since I needed this slideshow asap I decided to go ahead and purchase the latest version (3.1) upgrading my older one. Well, to my dismal disappointment I spent the money and although I can now select the specific song..... when I playback the songs plays at 1/4 th speed ,,, just AWFUL !!! I know this issue has been talked about but I could not see if a solution so such was ever found ?? What is Adobe doing about it ?

Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Skipping Issue

I have tried creating a slideshow in Lightroom 4.1 and followed all of the necessary steps Adobe has provided. On computer the slideshow seems fine but ufortunately, when I burn the slideshow to a DVD for Television, the slides skip. I think it may have something to do with the rendering of the slides as they are moving from one picture to the next. anyone have any tips for making the files smaller or another way around this problem? I heard something about Blu-Ray disks are better for Television slideshows compared to regular DVDS. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Also I use Garageband to link songs together and bring that into Lightroom and fit to music. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cabrini,
We haven't got any issues reporting aruond the issue like this.
Could you please try to export the slideshow file to the drive i.e. Desktop and check the file.
If the file doesnt have anything missing then if you use any software to write the files over to DVD it shouldnt miss any data.
You can follow the link below to make sure the workflow followed by you is fine.

Lightroom 5 Slideshow Issues

I don't like that you have to wait for the previews to build in Lightroom 5. Lightroom 4 had a way around this which really helps when you have large libraries.
I also liked how you could use the keyboard arrows during the slideshow in LR 4 to go back to a previous image / set of images shown in the slideshow.
It would be great if these issues could be addressed in the next update. Thank you very much!

Yes, what happened to the option to render previews before playing (great if you have lots of time ) and the previous default to render as the slideshow is playing (great for almost every time I need a slideshow).
Even the Preview button has to render all the slides before showing!!!
Any chance this option is going to be put back?

Lightroom 6 Slideshow issues

I have been using the Lightroom slideshow features all the time, and was very excited when I saw the Lightroom 6 improvements (i.e. multiple audio files, sync with music beat, etc). I am running the stand alone LR 6.0 (Camera Raw 9.0), on my 2008 Mac Pro with 20GB ram and OS X 10.9.5. I started using the slideshow of LR6 10 hours ago and so far I had nothing but problems with slideshow. I am quite happy with the new HDR and Panorama features, and they worked very well. Just problem with the slideshow module so far:
(1) I could not add any audio files (using only MP3 files so far) to be used as 'MUSIC'. I always received an 'ADD RESULTS' window that states " Can't add those music files to Lightroom > Muscid file format is bad (1) > xyz.mp3". Some of the mp3 field have been successfully used in LR5 slideshows. So far, I have tried about 10 different mp3 files and all received the same error message as above. It did not matter whether I tried to add a single mp3 file or multiple mp3 files. I haven' tested any other audio file formats. All those 'problematic' mp3 files play fine with iTune or my iPod, and some of them have been used to create slideshow in LR 5 before.
(2) The "Preview" or "Play" seems to be not working. I selected only 2-3 raw files and tried to do a very simple slideshow (using the "Simple" Lightroom Templates). The "Preparing slideshow" took forever and the progress was painfully slow, if there was any progress at all. I still haven't been able to create a simple slideshow using LR 6 after hours.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Stephen

The standard LR 6 catalog file is not a ZIP file. Those ZIP files are Back Ups of the original catalog. Do a search of your HDD for *.lrcat (The Star(*) is a wild card character and may not be needed in Windows or Mac Spotlight search system). That will turn up the original, standard, default, LR catalog file.
When you say you have been SAVING your LR catalog what exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean Backing it Up? You can't really SAVE the catalog. There is no Save or Save As in the File menu item and to my knowledge Ctrl + S or Ctrl + Shift + S do nothing. It saved automatically every time you add something to it, make changes to the user/program Preferences/Options or to the catalog settings.

Lightroom 2.7 slideshow sound problem

Have a new Mac book pro and am using the latest version of I Tunes. When using the Slideshow module the Sound is intermitent ( works some time and then doesn't) anyone have the same problem. This is only a Lightroom problem, as I'm not having any problems with other programs.
Would appreciate some help

Hi, I am having exactly the same issue, did you ever find out what it was ?

Lightroom 5.3 Slideshow Crash

Every time I try to do a slideshow Lightroom crashes. The first time it crashed during the slideshow. Now it crashes at the end of the slideshow. I am running on a PC with Windows 7.
Does anybody have any suggestions. I tried deleting my previews and still had the same problem.
Thanks,

Well, I've found a solution for this that works for me. It came from another post on the forum on same topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6002108
Basically, you need to delete the Previews.lrdata file associated with the Catalog you're trying to use the Slideshow on/with. Then open the Catalog and let LR rebuild the previews. Slideshow should now work ok.
Very disappointed that no-one from Adobe has taken the time to acknowledge this issue or even have the courtesy to give paying customers some basic support on this.
Not good Adobe. Stop counting your Creative Cloud cash and get back to work.

Why are Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Module Export Video 720p and 1080p ending up as Interlaced Video?

In Lightroom 4.1 (Windows 7 64 bit) when I create a slideshow in the Slideshow Module, use Export Video 720p or 1080p, the properties of the export do not agree with the name of the preset suggesting a fundamental discrepancy in what is stated and what is.
The MediaInfo properties readout for this type of export is showing Scan Type = Interlaced and Scan Order = Top Field First. How is this possible for 720p and 1080p which are designations for progressive video (no Fields)? However, the readout will show the expected frame rates, 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080 for 720p and 1080p respectively.
I suspect that this is not a misread by MediaInfo since a Mac user shows the same "interlaced" & "upper field first" information using a Mac Video Specs application for the properties readout for the Slideshow Module Export Video 1080p.

The LR slideshow module has had problems since its initial introduction and the issues have not been fixed in LR4.1. There is also an issue of resample artifacts (jaggies) when using portrait orientaion images in a slideshow on Windows platforms.. See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3793720#3793720
Here's an excerpt from the above thread link:
LR has at least three different implementation versions, concerning this LR Slideshow Module behavior:
                         Stroke Border           Portrait Images
Mac OS:            Causes softness         OK (no resample artifacts)
Windows Vista: No issues                    Resample artifacts (jaggies)
Windows 7:        Causes softness         Resample artifacts (jaggies)

Lightroom V1.1 slideshow not working and slow

Just and FYI to all out there that are having the above issue. I contacted Adobe and they said that to correct this issue you need to update your graphics card driver to the latest version. I did this on mine and it corrected both problems. It a little hassle as I had to redo my Spyder profiles, but after that it is much faster and slide show works at full graphics acceleration. S Nelson

In 1.3 release, there is a workaround available for Mac users with older video cards. In the 1.1 release we switch to using GPU accelerated slideshows via Apple's Quartz Composer technology. Unfortunately, some older video cards aren't supported by Quartz Composer. Check your system log using Console (located in Application/Utilities): if there are error messages from Quartz Composer there after attempting to run a slideshow, this note is for you. We've now added a way to disable the quartz composer slideshow via a configuration file.
Create a text file containing just this one line:
AgSlideshow.disable_quartz_composer = true
and save it to this location:
"~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/config.lua"
Restart Lightroom, and now your slideshows will play using non-accelerated drawing code. The transitions may appear rather chunky as a result.
