Lightroom 2.0 Slideshow

Is anybody else having problems with slideshow in 2.0?
It seems to me that photos appear soft on the slideshow.
Also in 1.4 you could hit escape during the slideshow and it took you to the Loupe with the image that was on screen, on 2.0 it takes you to the next photo in the slideshow (not much use if you are playing in random order)

There are a couple of slideshow bugs in 2.0. Like you said, stopping the slideshow results in it landing on a random photo, instead of the one you were looking at. Pressing the next or back arrows results in it no longer cross-fading between photos. And I've noticed sometimes it will repeat photos before going all the way through when playing in random mode.

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.

Does Lightroom 5 convert slideshows to HTML5?

I am looking at buying Photoshop Lightroom 5, but only if it makes or converts slideshows to HTML5.
Can this be done.
Question edited by: Ivan David

Actually, yes - sortof: a new feature of Lightroom 5 supports "correcting" aspect ratio (see manual lens corrections in develop module) which can make people look skinnier all over - i.e. it's not "selective" (you can't target body regions, or individual persons) like the advanced tools in Photoshop (e.g. liquify), but if it's all you need..

Poor performance in Lightroom 5 on Slideshow save as video (mp4)

Installed Lightroom 5 upgrade. On LR 4 I can export a 55 slideshow as MP4 with 1080p preset using all four cores on a win7-64 (Intel I7) in about 6-8 min (used 70-80% processor). In LR5, the CPU never goes above 15% processor and takes 45-50 minutes. I can flip between the two (not at the same time) to test. Luckily, no catalog changes other than what the automatic conversion did.
Interestingly, I see a ".aac" and ".m4v" in the destination directory during the rendering process (they eventually goes away and are replaced by the ".mp4" at the end of the rendering export process).
Does anyone know why LR5 is not taking full advantage of the multi core CPU? Any suggestions to improve performance in this area?Overall, its very disappointing. I have to go back to LR4 to re-render the slideshows that eventually get exported to a DVD (but that's another story).
Additional information, when I render the slideshow, it looks like LR4 exports using the native executable (no spawned subprocesses), but LR5 spawns a separate process to handle the export/rendering process.
Executable: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5\Support\DynamicLinkMediaServer\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0\amecommand.exe

FWIW:
Long time photograper, short time being serious about digital photography.
My first Adobe product was Premier Elements 9 so my granddaughters and I could "learn video". We are now on PrE11.
Then my granddaughters wanted to learn some digital photography and the next two products were Photoshop Elements and Lightroom 4, now 5.
All three will do slide shows, however Premier Elements 11 seems significantly superior. It will load RAW and most any other file type, there are loads of multiple audio track options, there is easy "Ken Burns style" pan and zoom and it produces about any shareable output known from YouTube to Blu-Ray.
Lightroom has a slightly hidden capability that makes PrE easy to set up. Start with a new project specific folder, select everything you want in Lightroom, then export copies to the project folder and open a project in PrE.
For evaluation, you can review a slide show of my visit to the Grand Canyon last spring. There is a lot of Lightroom and gentle Nik HDR work it it. https://vimeo.com/64474485

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 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 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)

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.

Lightroom 3 pdf slideshow not in random order

I have attempted several times to setup a slideshow in random order that repeats. The preview works fine but on other machines (Windows mainly) the adobe reader does not display the pdf slideshow in random order nor will it repeat when these preferences are selected in Lightroom 3.
You can work around the repeat issue but I can not find a solution for the random order. Any suggestions.

PDF slideshow is not supposed to be random.

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!!

.MOV files in Lightroom 4.4 slideshow. How?

I can add .MOV files into my slide show in Lightroom 4.4, but I get no sound, no movement. Conversion needed but how?

I was getting this message: "There is a problem with the video file" when attempting to import video files on Lightroom 4.1 (and after upgrading to 4.2) on Win7/64-bit.
The video files were M-JPEG/AVI and H.264/MP4.
Seeing a recommendation elsewhere, I uninstalled DivX and rebooted.
This resolved the issue for me!
Perhaps it will work for you, too, William.

A little help please. Fit to music not working in Lightroom 3.5 slideshow

The fit to music box is blacken out, and there is an explanation mark next to the song. So I'm unable to add music to my slideshows.
Using a Mac with Snow leopard.

I'm not aware of a minimum amount of photos to play with music, I've tried it with 2. But I suspect something is wrong with the music you have selected, the "!" is shown if LR cannot read the mp3 file and cannot determine its length. I've seen this with some mp3's, but I cannot determine why. Have you tried a different mp3?

Moving Images Edited In Lightroom 3 To Slideshow?

I've been doing most of my editing lately in Lightroom 3 but I want to order some calendars from Apple which means I must use iPhoto. I own iPhoto '09 8.1.2.
Can I just export the edited images from LR as jpgs, import them into iPhoto, and then load them into one of the iPhoto calendar templates? And if this won't do the trick what's the easiest way to do this?
Thanks!

Lightroom 2.7 slideshow question

Hi, is it possible to have Lighrtoom create a slideshow where TWO images are displayed per slide? If so, yippee!! How do I accomplish this? What do I edit?
Thanks for your help,
DLMST

Yes. In the print module use Contact Sheet/Grid if the images are to be different. The limitation is that they will appear in same size cells. From the Print Job panel select a file resolution of 100ppi and a custom file dimension to determine the final size of the image. EG. 100ppi @ 14.0x10.5 yeilds a 1440px x 1050px (15 in laptop)
You can print a batch by reordering them first so the image will appear in order on the slide. Or you can print them individually. To make things easier, set Auto Import on and target the folder you will be saving to. Also create a smart Collection to pickup any files with the name you save the "prints" as, such as - slideshow.
Now that the collections are visible in the slideshow module you only need to use the Print and Slideshow modules to accomplish a two-up slide. LR3 makes things a little more flexible by allowing background colors on your slides and variable image sizes on one page.
3rd party apps are wonderful, but cost more money. Your needs may justify that but for the occasional slideshow I think LR will do just fine.
