Lightroom 4 - Slowdown when exporting files

Hi.
I'v been experiencing some slowdown on my PC when exporting files from LR4. No matter the size, or if it's .jpg or .TIFF... it always gives me some frezzes (mouse etc)
I have a high end machine, and i don't think that's the problem....
Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution?
CPU
Motherboard
Graphics
RAM
Phenom II X6 1055T @4.0ghz
ASUS Crosshair FORMULA IV
CrossFire ATI RADEON 6850 940/1150
8GB DDR3 CORSAIR VENGANCE @1525mhz
Hard Drive
OS
Monitor
Samsung 500GB / Seagate 500GB / Seagate 1TB
Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64
Dell U2410 IPS
Lastest ATI driver...

None either... CPU always at 0% before exporting.
But i think i found the problem, it's related to my HDD. I was reading some articles, and decided to use my HDD as AHCI instead of IDE.
I had to modify some regs to install the drivers, but after that the slowdown where almost inexistent...
Now i need to know where the problem is, if it's with HDD or motherboard..
Thanks.

Error when exporting file from LR5.2 - file created

After updating to LR5.2, I receive an error when exporting files to another disk drive. a file is created, but a warning appears "Unable to Export: "An internal error has occurred: Win32 API error 2 ("The system cannot find the file specified.") when calling ShellExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute". I also have CC iunstalled for other applications, but originally installed LR5 as a standalone Adobe application. I tried removing the program and reinstalling through CC, with no change in this behavior.

Mac Mini Mid 2011 General system slowdown when transferring files?

Hi i have a stock mac mini mid 2011, 2.5ghz i5, 4gb ram, 500gb HDD os 10.7.1 and i've noticed a general system slowdown when transferring files on 10.7 and the last 10.7.1 update ( from usb to hdd, another computer on my local network to the mini, external dvd to the mini, etc).
I could describe the slowdown as mouse pointer movement suffers, its "laggy", application take longer to start, even menus in them from appearing, writting something on the keyboard i have to wait like 5 - 10 seconds so the words start appearing in the app (i.e. textedit).
I wanted to know if any other new mac mini owner has had this issue and if there is any solution to this(that would not involve buying a SSD for example)?
Im not really sure if this is a hardware or system issue but it really is getting on my nerves(i know i could just wait for the files to transfer which is what i do now but i dont think that should be), since i also have a old macbook from 2007 2.0ghz c2d, 2gb ram, 250gb HDD os 10.6.8 and have never had this problem before.
Thanks in advanced.
Let me know if i need to give more info on this subject.
Edit: I forgot to mention, the funny thing is doing a time machine backup to my external HDD or transferring files from my HDD to a usb doesnt give me any kind of slowdown.

Hi Rick, I'd see if it's reated to this, which has many symptoms...
Try this: "sudo pmset autopoweroff 0" and "sudo pmset standby 0"

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
I choose Export>Versions
choose
Subfolder Format: Project Name
no custom subfolder
Name Format: Current Version Name.
Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
To be sure, I have no project named Projects
x
This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

Lightroom 5 cannot export files in original Raw format (LR 5.4, Mac, OS 10.9.4).

A client has the following problem: When trying to export files in the original Raw format (.CR2), the operation failed and a dialog informs us that "Some export operations were not performed". We can export JPEGs just fine.
After lots of testing, this is what we discovered: The problem does not appear to be catalog-based; we run into the same problem using a test catalog. The export operation works fine, however, with the same test catalog and images on two other machines, and it even works fine on the same machine with a new user admin account that we created.
So it appears to be something associated with the user account, , or with how LR is interacting with the user account, but I cannot figure out what it might be. We can copy the Raw files when using the Finder to do so. But not via Lightroom. Any thoughts, ideas of suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sean

As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals. This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves. Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

Why are my prints shrinking when exporting files from NEF to Tiff despite not ticking the re-size box!

When I export/convert my Nikon D7000 based raw files to Tiff files using Lightroom, in preparation for printing, the document size shrinks but the file size increases(see top image below)! This is despite not ticking the 'Resize to Fit' box on the export pop up.I know the file size will increase going from a raw to a Tiff file but I don't understand why this happens when the print size shrinks. This is even more puzzling if I export the same file as a raw file (+its related .xmp file) to another folder then save the file in Elements 9 as a Tiff folder since the size stays as it shoiuld be (see middle image below) I think it must be something to do with the way I am exporting directly to a Tiff format as if I export it as a .dng it still retains its size (see bottom image)
Tiff image exported from Lightroom as a Tiff file then just viewed in Elements 9
Raw file exported from Lightroom as a NEF raw file (with XMP) file then just saved as a Tiff in Elements 9
NEF raw image converted to .dng file through Lightroom & viewed in CS2

Sorry, I think I've obviously confused the issue by not comparing like with like so here are two versions of the exactly the same image, one a Tiff and one a dng. Both images are 6016 x 4016 pixels, 300 pixels per cm and were simply exported from Lightroom. If I were to simply print them without resizing, one image would be significantly larger than the other. Why does this happen is what I really want to know? If I was to resize the smaller version of the image to be the same size as the larger one, would there be any loss of detail in the print? I would expect there to be as CS2 would create data to fill in the gaps resulting in a file that was 859.2M in size.

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

InDesign CS5 freezes when exporting file as PDF

InDesign CS5 (7.0.4) run on iMac (OS 10.7.5).
I find that when exporting a document as PDF InDesign suddenly and randomly freezes at some point during the export process.
The only option is to force quit InDesign.
On relaunch InDesign has forgotten all the presets I had saved (eg Document Preset, Preflight Profile).
This happens fairly frequently but I cannot find a pattern to it or an obvious cause.
Thanks in advance or any help anyone can offer!!

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers
Frieder

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

Lightroom crashes when png fils is used for water mark

When I use png files, lightroom 5.7 crashes (windows 7 64 bit). With the plug-in Mogrify it works, but not with lightroom itself.The dng fil can be imported into the lightroom catalog without problem. But it cannot be loaded for the identification table (lightroom crashes). I had this issue already in lightroom 4.
Thanks for any ideas to solve this.

I opened and resaved the PNG with Photoshop and it didn't crash LR, so it seems your scanner is producing PNGs that aren't quite compatible with Lightroom.
Instead of me uploading files after editing in Photoshop, you can use an online editor like Pixlr to edit your own PNGs that won't crash Lightroom:
I used the following steps in Pixlr to convert ABC.png to a transparent background PNG that had black writing then another with white writing:
Open apps.pixlr.com/editor/ Online Photo Editor | Pixlr Editor | Autodesk Pixlr in a browser, I used IE 11
Click Open Image from Computer
Browse to and Open ABC.png
Double click the padlock symbol in the Layers panel to convert Background to Layer 0
Select the Magic Wand tool - over at the left
Turn off Anti-Alias and Contiguous checkboxes up top if necessary because you want all the background removed and clean edges on this B/W PNG
Click on a white area outside of the letters, notice that the insides of the A and B are also selected because Continuous is turned off
Hit the Delete (Del) key, notice that the background turns from white to a checkerboard pattern indicating transparency
Use File / Save... and save this black-letter copy with a new name (e.g. ABC_black.png) to your computer, somewhere, as filetype PNG - Transparent, Full-Quality
Use Adjustment / Invert to change the letters to white, notice that the transparency remains
Use File / Save... and save this white-letter copy with a new name (e.g. ABC_white.png).
That's it.
Obviously you can do more things in this editor, but for the simple task of making transparent background PNGs from a scanned PNG that's all you need to do.

Eliminate flicker when exporting file with a matte

I have a short FCP7 sequence with a moving garbage matte. It looks fine when I play it in the timeline, but when exported to QuickTime there's now a flickering on the matte with each frame.
What do I change in the settings so it looks the same in QuickTime as it does in FCP?

Illustrator CS6 : Some layers are missing when exporting files

Hello all,
I'm trying to export my project for use in Adobe Director 11, and I'm encountering a problem with the export feature that I believe to be a legit bug, and seeing from the amount of threads related with my problem, I believe some other people have encountered it too. I provided some pics for an easier explanation.
So.. firstly, the image below is the screenshot of my project in AI, combination of paths, mask and pictures.
Next I'm trying to export it to PNG without artboard & use transparent background. Notice that the export preview still shows the image that I expect as the export result.
Below is the exported image.
As you can see, some part of the project is 'missing' in the exported files. The problem still occurred no matter I exported it to png, jpg, even psd. Changing the export resolution and anti-aliasing setting doesn't help.
I've encountered the same problem with different project for at least 5 times in like the last 8 months, and I find that each time I encountered the problem, it can only be temporary fixed by some specific procedures and sometimes each problem won't work with the same workaround. For example, one time I can properly export the project after I copy & paste the 'missing' layers and delete the original layers, in other time I have to select the 'missing' layers, move it a little and then move them back to its first location in order to export it properly. I also find that copying the entire layer that I want to export to a new document works a few times. I can't remember some other solutions I have tried that works, but if these solutions doesn't work anymore, I have to find another and it's pretty confusing since it happen to be 'random'.
Since I believe that this happen to be a program bug, I would love if one of those Adobe guy read this post and direct the problem directly to the AI team or something so it can be fixed in the next updates. Until then, anyone ever experienced the problem? What did you guys do to 'fix' the problem?
Many thanks for people who help me here.
P.S. As I'm writing the last part, exporting my current project to PNG with transparent background seems to be working properly after I tried to export to PNG with white as the background color, I dunno why, but it works now. I still want to know other workarounds to 'fix' the problem though, that could be helpful for other people out there.

The first thing I was going to ask was if you saved as PDF earlier, but then I noticed you specifically said not in your first post. I have lost two layered high res images in the last couple of months due to getting mixed up after exporting to PDF for print. I still don't know how it happened, but I have to assume user error.
I also note you are using CS6 which has the JDI features, so saving as a JPG would not have flaterened the layers. I almost never use TIFF as it feels better to use PSD as it is the native format, and it limits the opertunity to mess up. So I am not being very helpful. If you absolutely didn't save out as JPG or PFD or similar, then you have to start thinking bug, but I have never heard of this happening outside of user error.
[EDIT] Whoops. Overlap. I called for my breakfast half way through typing my answer. Glad you got it fixed

InDesign CC crashing when exporting file to idml

I am working on a large document (600+ pages). Whenever I export to idml InDesign crashes. It always crashes when the progress bar is at about 24%. I am able to export to PDF with no issues and also save as a new indd file with no issues.
I am using InDesign CC. I tried using InDesign CS5 and the same thing would happen.

See if yu can break the file into pieces and export. See Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

PP cc 2014 crashes when exporting files to H.264

I have a very simple file. It only has a mp3 file, (a hour ) and a few files in it. But it will not export the file. Media Encoder crashes also.
I seems Premiere Pro CC 2014 is a piece of crap. Heck I cannot even play the mp3 file in PP without it crashing at times. Please help! What is wrong? I have 9gb of RAM.

Thanks for the response. For now it seems I have worked around the problem. I was thinking It could be my graphics card. The one I have is not the best. only has 512mb VRAM. The way I worked around it is kind of a long story but I will do my best to explain.
At first I had Adobe look at it and he decided it was the images that I was using. The problem started when I updated Premiere Pro. However at the same time I upgraded I started a new project and I was using several images from this one website.
But I recently rebuilt my computer. So everything is fresh and new. And all re-installed.(I do this once a year). So I started another project and got the same problem only this time even changing the encoder to a Quicktime one.did not work, (it worked before).
So i Started the project over and did not add any images, just the audio file. Then I proceeded to add the text for the titles. I was using titles to post what the person was saying in the audio. So I had several titles in the project. No images. and it still crashed on export.
Turns out it appears to be the large number of titles that is causing it to crash. I saved the frames where i had the titles and replace the titles with an image of the title. It exports with no problem. Even though I have a background image that is from this same site as before.
So it appears that Premiere Pro has a problem with too may tiles in the project. So far as long as everything is images it works fine.
But I am going to replace my video card soon. Then I will try the project with titles other than the images of the frames where the titles are. lots less trouble if it will work.
Note: I have other projects that I made before the upgrade that have lots of titles in them also...they export fine.
Hope this helps you understand the problem.
I am trying to produce a video of the book of Psalms with audio and the scriptures on the screen,(titles).
For now, it appears to be a bug in Premiere Pro. It doesn't make sense why too many titles in a project would cause it to crash.
