Lightroom freezes when exporting catalog

Hello, I have lightroom 5.7, I use an iMac OSX 10.9.5. When I export my entire collection 40,000.00 images and catalog to another external hard drive, lightroom freezes in mid session. Last night I updated to OS X 10.10.1 Thank you!

How do you go to the Web Module? Do you go from the grid with all your images, potentially hundreds to thousands of images or do you first make a Collection of you chosen images, More likely to be tens to maybe couple hundred of images.
If the former, LR maybe hanking on the renderign of so many images to what ever initial template Web is set for.
Best to do a selection of images to a Collection First. What happens if you go to Web with a Collecion of say, 50 images?

FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...

Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
Last Modified: February 13, 2009
Article: TS2593
Symptoms
Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
Resolution
This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.

I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

oh well.

Lightroom freezes when I enter WEB mode

Hi, I have another question. I find that Lightroom freezes when I enter WEB mode and try to build a web presentation using this feature. I'm currently running XP as my operating system, 4 gb RAM, with an AMD DualCore 4600+ processor.
Thanks for your help,

Computer freezes when exporting with Adobe Media Encoder

Hi, whenever I start to export via media Encoder, my computer kind of freezes...I am not able to edit or even use any other applictions when exporting with Adobe media encoder. This did not happen with the older version CC7. Any hints please? Very frustrating.

I think the same problem:
Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files from Watched Folders
Probably with cached files. Try this: Adobe Media Encoder 2014.2 Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files - cache problem? - Video Production Stack Exc…

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!!

Lightroom freezes when i click import button

how do i keep lightroom from freezing when i click import button. right now it is worthless. adobe technical support is no help

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

IMovie on iPad2 freezes when exporting

I recently went on a trip and made a movie with iMovie, but when I try and save it to the camera roll, it stalls or freeezes when exporting. Has anyone else had this issue?

Here is a bit more info for anybody reading this who knows stuff ...
My content is :
1. Videos from my iPhone 3GS and iPad 3
2. Pictures from my Nikon 6 megapixel camera that have been convert to jpg so that the iMovie app will work with them.
3. Voice over content.
Basically I want to incorporate about 1200 pics and about 3 hrs of video shots into my movie and edit down from there.
Should be doable, right?

Video freezes when exporting to Full Quality

[Background: I've been working on a video project in iMovie HD that I'm doing in pieces - exporting each section of the video at full quality when it's done, so that later I can put them all together in a new project.]
Lately I've been having major problems exporting to full quality Quicktime files. The exported video freezes a few frames in, though the audio continues to play normally. This does not happen if I save it to a smaller quality, say, Web Streaming.
I'm having trouble seeing a pattern in how/why/when this happens, too. I have successfully exported movies to full quality both before and after movies that export incorrectly. The first project that had this happen, I decided to reassemble bit by bit to find out if something specific was causing the problem. Turns out that Full Quality exporting started having this problem if I had added titles. After jumping through something like 50 hoops - exporting little pieces, reimporting, exporting just the titles, etc., etc - I managed to work around the issue. Bit of a headache but all seemed to be well.
BUT, the frozen video problem soon happened again. The next time I had this trouble exporting, there were no titles in the project at all, and the problem instead occurred once I added music. So there does not seem to be a pattern within iMovie itself. This makes me think it's either a Quicktime problem or something to do with my computer itself. I have 2GB of memory, 37GB of space left on my hard drive, and I'm running Quicktime 7.4.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.4.
Please help! I'm on a bit of a deadline, too. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks Matt. I am in the same boat as many people have obviously been in - trying to burn a DVD to a film fest deadline of tomorrow, and after 4 hours of trying to make a disk image, getting 'error during burn'.
I have one question.
a) In imovie, I clicked the 'create iDVD' button to create this project - which has problems burning.
b) Now if I simply try to drag that .mov file into the iDVD pane as you suggest, is that identical to what I have done in a) - in that we're operating with the same basic animal. Of so
c) I should try the process of exporting to .dv, reimporting to new imovie, redoing chapter markers and THEN dragging the package .mov to the iDVD pane - hoping that chapter markers are preserved.
Oh ... someone said one should try to save the .mov as a sel contained file. is that necessary?
Thank you for sitting in front of you Mac!

Lightroom freezes when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1

Good day,
I've noticed that Lightroom 5.7.1 hangs when attempting to edit in Photoshop Elements 13.1. It will sit there saying processing and make no progress no matter how much time its given. I've noticed that I can get it to work if I change the file format from TIFF to JPEG. Is this a known issue with a fix/work around?
The next thing that I've come across, is that when editing in Photoshop Elements 13.1 through Lightroom, the changes made are not saved to the file (yes I'm clicking save). To get the changes made in Elements to save, I have to go back to Lightroom open the copy that was made for the export into Elements and select "Edit in Elements". If I make all the edits again and save, it will then update the file in Lightroom. It doesn't appear initially that Lightroom lets Elements change the file.
And ideas?
Carl

It has always allowed me in the past to send an image i am working on in LR to PS (I would choose to edit the original) the when saved down in PS it would then update the version in LR with the LR effects added as well. Suddenly it no longer gives me the option to 'edit the original '. I have always worked in RAW

Total PC freeze when exporting from After Effects CC

Hi guys,
I'm having quite a serious problem exporting AFX files (via Media Encoder CC) and also occationaly during RAM previews.
The problem itself is fairly simple. After a varying amount of time my PC will completely freeze and become totally unresponsive. This always seems to happen on more complex scenes involving raytracing, or C4D Lite layers and sometimes just generally complex compositions. I'm forced to restart my computer losing all render progress and any unsaved progress. A couple of times the crashes have totally messed up my AFX, corrupting any open saves and corrrupting my custom panel layouts (very annoying).
I recently upgraded my PC to a fairly beefy spec primarily to cope with complex projects like these. Here are the specs from DxDiag:
System Information
Time of this report: 8/8/2013, 15:08:15
Machine name: ALPHA-ONE
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.130318-1532)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: To be filled by O.E.M.
System Model: To be filled by O.E.M.
BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/11/13 16:18:14 Ver: 04.06.05
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor (8 CPUs), ~4.5GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8090MB RAM
Page File: 4406MB used, 11773MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
User DPI Setting: Using System DPI
System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)
DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled
DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 32bit Unicode
I did notice after I had upgraded that AFX didn't support my new GFX card (Geforce 760) but I found an article that suggested a work around for this which did allow me to use the 760. I don't know if doing this is known to cause problems with renders? My GFX card has the latest drivers. I've tried disabling and enabling the GPU in AFX but either way the crashes occur. I also tried turning off/on Multicore processing as this has given me grief before. But that made no difference.
My After Effect instalation is also the latest version.
These crashes don't happen in other programs like C4D Lite (when rendering directly inside that program), or when playing recent and demanding games.
I have 16GB of RAM installed but seem to only be able to use 8GB as available memory in AFX, which also shows in the Dxdiag report. I don't think this could be causing total system freezes though and do plan on trying to fix this issue when I get time.
Thanks for any help!
-Nick.

It looks like DxDiag DOES realize that you have 16GB installed, but for some reason only 8GB is provided to the OS.
This is very odd. Since it detects the full 16GB, I doubt that your RAM is faulty/unseated/etc. If that were the case, it would not be recognized as 16GB.
What CPU and motherboard are you using? It's possible that a setting in your BIOS is to blame.
I've seen this happen before on computers with integrated graphics. They will use a portion of your system RAM as video RAM. But this is typically only 256MB-512MB at most...not a whopping 8GB!
Yeah pretty odd I know. My BIOS only reads 8GB of the RAM (doesnt mention 16GB at all I dont think), Resource Monitor and DXDIAG say 8GB of available memory and 16GB of total memory. I did Memtest 86 for 12 hours last night and whilst it came up with no RAM errors it also only detected half of my RAM anyway.
I decided to do some experimenting today and tested each 8GB stick on its own in DIMM slot A2 (the manual recommends this slot for single sticks of RAM). PC wouldnt boot at all with one of the sticks but would boot with the other. So I've left my PC with that one 8GB stick in now as I suspect the other one could be faulty. I dont know if this is the cause of my orinal problem but I plan on trying to render some of the projects that were freezing my PC before and seeing if I still get those freezes. If I don't then hurray problem solved! If I do then I'm stumped as to what the cause could be.
Oh and my motherboard/CPU are:
CPU: AMD Piledriver FX-8 8350 Black Edition 3.50GHz @ 4.60GHz CPU
Motherboard: Asus 990FX Sabertooth
I agree about the BIOS settings potentially being the problem, I plan on monday to ask the site I bought the bundle from about this and see if I can get replacement RAM and/or advice on whether there's anything specific I can do that would fix this. I tried googling the problem many times but almost every thread I come across is just people who don't realise their 32bit OS cant take more than 4GB of RAM which isn't the issue I'm having.

Lightroom freezes on Export

I am helping a friend with her lightroom issues
She is using Lightoom 3.4.1 with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. When she attempts to do an export, it gets a random amount through the export and the lightroom stops responing and closes. I tried the basic things (clearing temp files and such). I also tried exporting to a different hard drive, but it is the same result.

Does it happen with no matter what setings you use for export? Like Export for Email, Export to DNG etc.?
What if you use File > Export with Preset..?

Premiere pro freezes when exporting a project that has AE compositions in it?

PC - 970 nvidia, i7 4790k, premiere will export when the After effects clips are removed, but freezes at different stages of completion when the are left in.

FAQ: What information should I provide?
When you say it "freezes", how long is it frozen for?
What is in these compositions you've linked to?
What version of AE (down to the last decimal)? Same question for Premiere.
What are your entire system specs? RAM, OS version, etc.
And all the rest of the questions in the link I gave.

Freezes when exporting .mov files in CS4 / Adobe Media Encoder

For the past 7 hours now I have been trying every internet remedy for the following problem, and was wondering if any of you nice people could help:
I just came back from a ski trip, and wanted to make an edit featuring my fiends. I recorded large parts of the trip on my new iPhone, both in 720p 120fps (120.15fps, h.264 1280*720) and the normal 1080p 30fps. iPhone files are in the .mov format. I also recorded some parts on a GoPro hero hd2 camera at both 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps. GoPro files are in the MP4 format, and i've never had a probvlem with them.
Now all imports fine into premiere pro, and although I had a few problems with freezing while editing initially, this was quickly solved by terminating all unused (non-adobe) processes in task manager.
So I spent a good 4 hours making a 2.5 minute edit of our day, and wanted to export it.
So I selected the sequence, and went file>export>media, selected all of the preferences i wanted for exporting, and sent it to the Adobe media encoder.
The media encoder loads the files for a few seconds, and then starts the encoding process. And promptly freezes. It freezes at around 10-20 seconds (depending on export preferences) after starting to encode, and never restarts. i can then pause the encode, but cancelling it crashes adobe media encoder and subsequently also crashes Premiere Pro.
I may be mistaken here, but I have a strong suspicion that It is quicktime that is causing all this.
So I tried the following:
- reinstalling, downgrading, updating, etc. Quicktime
- renaming file extensions from .mov to .mp4
- all sorts of export preferences, from image sequences to dvd to blueray and dv. (Image sequences, interestingly, occasionally export to about half a minute into the video(also depending on preferences), then freeze)
- crossing my fingers
- checking for gaps in video, found none
- updating premiere pro and media encoder
- throwing my mouse at the wall in frustration
- making a new project with different settings and copying in the sequence
- disabling "Include source xmp metadata"
- making a new user account and trying it there
Is there anything else I can try?
Could I copy the project itself into a different program (e.g. iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) and export from there?
Is there an alternative to Adobe media encoder?
Need more information?
Thanks for the help!
Specs:
Premiere version: 4.2.1
Encoder version: 4.2.0.006
Comp specs:
16Gb ram
quad core i5
256 Gb solid state (system, program files are here)
2TB HDD (video files, scratch disk are here)
Nvidia gtx 660 graphics
Windows 64 bit
1 monitor

I bought quicktime pro today to try this, but to no avail. it just freezes up again during export.
I tried some other fixes on that page, like renaming files to .mpg extension, which worked once during an export of a test sequence (although everything was shifted and it cut off the export at the gopro footage).
Is there any way I can export this project to another program to export it from there perhaps?
Thanks for the help!

FCP freezes when exporting for iphone

I have already repaired permissions in disk utility.

Why is my layer style not looking right in Lightroom or when exported?

Hey everyone! I am working on a fun little storybook project as a part of a Halloween-themed photoshoot and I am running into something that has me stumped. Check the screenshots below:
The first image is as-seen in Photoshop and the second is the messed up version that shows up in Lightroom and also in jpeg exports. As you can see, the Lightroom/jpg/png version doesn't look nearly as fancy.
So longer story somewhat shorter: the layerstyle isn't translating over to Lightroom preview or to jpeg exports through Lightroom or png and jpeg exports via Photoshop's "Save for Web" or "Save As" features.
The file was created in Photoshop and imported into LR with no import presets.
Can't wait to hear what you think and thanks for your time!

iPhoto does not change the size of photos (or make any other changes)
You are accessing them incorrectly
Either export them to a desktop folder and upload from there or use the media browser to locate your photos - do not go directly into your iPhoto library for any reason
