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,
Mike84

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.

Slideshow export - video options grayed out

The slideshow export video options are grayed out. When the slideshow is exported it is sound only, no video.

Slideshow export video p1080 black screen only

I'm trying to export video, a 60 min slideshow, all tiff's, all previewed, no music but all I get is a 3.6 GB large mp4 file which is black, from start to end.
Does anyone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for your help
Rolf

I'm trying to use Quicktime X, I'm on Mac. I exported a smaller version of the video (960x540) which worked but quality is by far not what I need.
I have to try p780 later to see if that works, but 1080p does not give me anything but black..
Thanks

Lightroom 5 slideshow export video

So this is LR 5.5. Can you change the quality settings on export of your slideshows? Exported my first one and the quality is ok at small size but not so good when enlarged.

As trshaner says, make sure you select the correct output resolution. Usually you want at least 720p. The highest quality it will do is 1080p (i.e. 1920x1080). Lightroom doesn't output sharpen the images it puts in the slideshow video so when you display on a big screen, it is usually fairly soft. Unfortunately, you cannot fix this except for using a different slideshow creation software. Even Photoshop makes better slideshow video albeit in a very hard to use interface if you just want a set of images transitioning.

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 5.4 exported videos in PRE 10 problems

Recently started making MP4 exported slideshows in newly installed LR 5.4. When I import them into PRE 10 projects, I'm getting playback artifacts in the PRE 10 monitor that are very strange. The videos seem to be playing back fine, but all of sudden, in the middle of playing the picture videos, green screens and most often red screens are interpolated between the pictures playing back. Some of the pictures in the video are also missing in the playback. The interpolated screens will last for up to 30 seconds in the PRE timeline. The exported videos play fine in Windows Media Player and other playback programs.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:
I never had these problems with previous versions of LR exported slideshows. I experimented loading test projects in PRE 10 with video exported from earlier versions of LR (LR4 and 5.3). None of those earlier videos had the problems I'm now experiencing with the newly exported LR 5.4 videos
Any ideas as to why these problems might be happening now with LR 5.4 videos? Are there any project setttings or preferences in PRE 10 that would fix this problem? Is there a bug in either program? Or is there some other issue I'm not seeing?
Thanks!
FYI: Windows 7 Home Premium; Intel i-7 3.5GHZ Quad Core; 8 MB memory

Thanks John. Below is a comparison of 2 videos from MediaInfo. The file on the left is from LR5.4, the one on the right is from LR 4.4.
Note that the LR 5.4 MP4 slideshow export includes actual videos that are in the slideshow as well as still pictures. Since it includes actual videos, it also includes audio. The LR 4.4 MP4 does NOT include any audio since LR 4.4 only created the MP4 files from still pictures.
FYI: I realize now that also exported MP4 Slideshow files of still pictures only from LR 5.3. Those files also worked fine in PRE 10. HOWEVER, I did NOT include any video files in the 5.3 exported MP4 slideshows. Instead, I manually inserted each video as separate files in the PRE 10 project timeline.
So I ‘m guessing that the problem in PRE 10 has something to do with embedding videos in the LR 5.4 exported slideshows. I see some differences in the files data below, but I don’t know enough to know how they might impact PRE 10. I know I CANNOT change the slideshow MP4 video export settings in LR 5.4 other than the export size.
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to insert the videos in PRE 10 projects individually, but I suspect I may have to.
Does the data below provide some explanation to the problem?
Thanks again,
LarryER

Lightroom 3.4.1 Slideshow 1080p video poor quality on TV, only

I'm using Mac, everything is updated. I have the latest OS, yet had the same problem on snow leopard too.
Issue, After editing in Lightroom, I design a slideshow, export it both 720p & 1080p. I do not resize, the images remain there largest size, on average 3677x2451 240 if not 300. I burn a iDVD of the slideshow, play on TV and it's terrible quality.
The video is beautiful on the computer; websites...but pitiful on the TV. Whether 52" or 36", fuzzy images, highly downgraded, extremely poor in comparison. I take the same images, create a basic slideshow in iPhoto, again no changing of sizes, export to iDVD as "Large", burned in iDVD and the quality well surpasses that of Lightroom. It's HUGE in comparison. Complete shame as the L3 slideshow is so much better. Please advise. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Okay, I just tried dragging the mp4 1080p file and burning that to the dvd directly then tried to watch in dvd. Unfortunately it doesn't see it, must be because it's an mp4.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
There are any number of video authoring and editing applications that can convert 1080p LR MP4 slideshow files to BDMV format, which can then be played back on any Blu-ray player. A standard 4.7 GB DVD disk and even a USB thumb drive can be used to playback up to a 500 picture 1080p HD slideshow on a Blu-ray player.
Here’s a freeware program called multiAVCHD, which will definitely do the job for you:

You will need to download the program from the ‘Download (direct link),’ as the author’s site does not appear to be hosted any longer.

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

Lightroom 5.3 Hanging on Video Exports

I've been able to succesffuly export videos in the past, but for some reason the progress bar is just hanging now on recent attempts to export video. At time it starts, then stops mid-way. After I cancel that task, and try to start it again, it just hangs with zero progress. The files are not huge, mostly under 100MB.
Sometimes, I get an eror message of "An unknown error occurred. (1)"
What I've tried:
Restarting my machine several times
Deleted the preferences file and started fresh
Changed the export destination folder to my desktop, but got the same issue.
Tested exporting still images, which worked fine
Tested exporting using the video setting to export an unedited/uncompressed version of the file, which worked fine.
Changing the encoding setting from H.264 Medium to H.264 Max, but got the same issue.
Testing using both .MOV and .MP4 source files.
Manually reinstalled Lightroom app. This helped process a couple files, but then went back to hanging.
Any suggestions? Could the video encoder be corrupted somehow? Is there a way to reset it?
Thank you!

Pierre, try removing/deleting the preference file on the desktop: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

I have some video shot by a freelancer that is very over exposed. Any suggestions?

I have tried Brightness and Contrast as well as curves and fast color corrector. Here is a link to part of the clip. http://https://vimeo.com/79122776

Your link is not working for me so I'll do my best to give you my thoughts.
I don't know how much you know about color correction/grading so please don't be offended if I appear to be stating anything you already know or that seems obvious.
Unfortunately, when a clip is over exposed and parts of the image are 'blown out' there is no way to get the information back... That is to say, it becomes unfixable. If it is overexposed, but not blown
out, than using 'curves' or even the effects you mentioned should do the trick; I'm assuming they are blown out though as you mentioned these things and are still asking the question... So:
As for blown out footage, I have a few suggestions:
Re-shoot.
Depending on the type of production the footage is involved in, and the nature of the image itself (like I said, the link doesn't work so I can't see what is 'over exposed') you can try to use the blown out parts of the image in a stylistic effect... Perhaps there is some effect you can go for that will turn those over exposed pieces into something that looks like it's suppose to be that way. (This is very hard, but has saved me in a tight spot before on a music video; granted, music videos are so much easier to edit than almost anything else.)
Magic Bullet Looks has a 'shoulder' effect (you could also just do it yourself with curves if you don't have MBL) that just take the brighter whites of an image and brings them down a bit without effecting the midtones or blacks. This helps make the blow-outs less noticable as their isn't so much contrast.
Similiar to number '2' but have to throw it in because it could help... With an over exposed shot all the highlights of your image will be blown out and thus 'pure white.' You can use the 'key' effect to target the blown out pieces of your footage and perhaps replace it with a color, texture, or image that is less noticable/more suitable?
Best of luck to you! If you repost a working link to the video I could give you some thoughts more specific to your footage! Cheers Robin!

Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
AVC vs h.264
One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
Other sizes are fine
Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4. Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
Some examples for download
I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
Update
I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.

Bahi,
just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
Next is Snow Leopard:
Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

Error Message when trying to export video

I've been getting the following error message whenever I try to export video I've edited in Lightroom (picture below).
The error message reads, "amecommand has encountered an error. [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/DynamicLinkMediaServer1/main/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Ma ke/Mac/../../Src/Sequence/Sequence.cpp-1315]"
The error message shows up as soon as I hit the export button to export video. After I click "continue," the export progress bar at top left makes no progress.
-I'm running Lightroom 4 with updates 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 installed.
-I'm running it on Mac OS X version 10.6.8

Exporting video to 1080p at 25 fps ?

Exporting a slideshow in video produces a MP4 file at 29,97 fps. How to set this parameter to 25 fps ? Thanks

Exported Video Does Not Look Right

I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
• I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
• I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.95
Normal Size: 640x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.97
Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?

I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

Just turned off background rendering.
I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,083
Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,274
Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?
