Lightroom Slideshow is Blurry

Both the preview and play option render a beautiful slide show on my monitor.  However, when I export it to even a 1080p video the image and especially the text is blurry.  Why is this?  I would really like a method to produce really nice crisp looking slide shows worthy of the oiriginals.  Also, if anyone out there knows by what methos and playback is used to show the virtues of HD TV's on display in retail environments.

Apple Miga, is this the same issue we're discussing in this thread?

If so, please do not start a new thread. It's very confusing and it makes it impossible to figure out what has already been suggested and tried.

    Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

  • Embed Lightroom Slideshow in Activerain Blog

    I've been trying (in vain) to embed a Lightroom slideshow into my activerain blog here:
    http://activerain.com/blogsview/658980/Homes-Near-Peterson-and
    The slideshow should be in that big blank white space near the bottom of the post. I'm hosting the slideshow files on another site (where I've uploaded the crossdomain.xml file on the main root allowing flash access as well as ftping the files directly from Lightroom using the "Upload" function.) I can't for the life of me figure out the code I should be using to embed the slideshow into the blog. Iframes are callowed...and other blogs use slideshows as well (from slide.com, picasa, etc.)
    Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!!

    Sorry for the bump. Anyone with ideas? please??

  • Lightroom Slideshow:  output AVCHD files (Panasonic, Sony)?

    Slideshow seems to have only two output formats:  MP4 and .pdf.  Panasonic flatscreens, for one, will not play these formats.  They require AVCHD files.  How can I get from Lightroom Slideshow to this format?

    Thanks for your reply. What I meant was the workflow I have delveloped with the client to provide a quicktime file for their use on their end is what has been proven.
    The whole reason I started this thread was hoping someone had a NEW WORKFLOW that would allow me to do this.
    I have hundreds of clips I have produced for this client that utilze the Animation codec at 100% at a small fraction of the size. In fact I have one clip that is 46 minutes in duration 1920 X 1080 60 FPS using QT Animation codec at 100% and the file is 40 GB. The difference being the source files which were shot with a different camera in DVCPRO HD format.
    So if what you're saying is I should expect an 8 minute clip to be 80 GB I'm a bit lost.
    Anyway thanks for your reply hopefully someone has some helpful advise. I'm not here to argue with anyone or to be proven wrong, I'm just looking for help.
    I'll continue to seach for other options. Thanks to all who have responded.

  • Lightroom Slideshow - long delay to generate all previews

    Lightroom Slideshow - Is there a way for the slideshow to start after the first preview has been generated?  Why do all the previews have to be delayed before the first is even shown?

    Adobe had problems with overlapped slideshow (showing slideshow while previews generating) and decided to "punt" (generate all previews prior to starting the slideshow).
    A step backwards to be sure.
    But note: slideshow is using ordinary library previews, so if you are diligent to build after editing, then slideshows start faster.
    Sorry, but it's not my fault .

    See the above discussion. I believe (but to be honest, I am no expert. I am trying to figure out a different, but related question) that you can reformat your iPod to the FAT32 system on your PC, then go back to your Mac, use it as a hard drive, and transfer your songs to your PC that way. Once in the FAT32 format both PCs and Macs will read the iPod disk.

  • Lightroom Slideshow - Show Filenames

    I may just be missing it, but being new to Lightroom, I'm getting my first presentation ready and want to use the Lightroom Slideshow feature. I can't find how to allow the filenames to show with each slide.
    I need this as a means of identification for the client.
    What am I missing????
    Thanks,
    Jim.....

    Ensure that you have the Tool bar activated in the Sideshow module. (Tap the T key.)
    On the Tool bar you should see an ABC icon that will allow text to be added to the slide. Click it to reveal a text box, then click the Title drop menu. In the drop list click Edit. A dialog box will allow choosing a filename.
    The resulting text can be repositioned anywhere in the slide area.

  • Lightroom Slideshow behave strangely when changing star rating.

    Hi there,
    I am having issues with Lightroom Slideshow when in Manual Mode and filter is on.
    When I try and do a manual slideshow and I have filters on "Rating" = ** and I try and change an image to a "*" or a "***" then the slildeshow starts acting weird i.e. it will start showing images randomly on its own. I have to cancel the slideshow and restart. This is easy to reproduce.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You can use star ratings whether the dots are there or not. Try keys 0-5.
    Anyway, the View/Grid view style/Show extras menu item will re-instate the star field on your thumbnails.

  • Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value. This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.

    Jeannine,
         If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
    Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
    Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
    C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
    If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
    Hope this helps a bit,
    Glenn

  • I have no sound on a Lightroom slideshow.

    I have no sound on a Lightroom slideshow. Sometimes it works then the next time it doesn't. Even using the same track. I am using MP3 files. whats going on?

    I'm having a similar issue.  Using Lightroom ver. 5.7  In the slideshow module with the audio option checked, it allows me to select a mp3 file for background music - then says the file is an unsupported format.  Result: no sound in preview or playback.
    So is there a fix or what?

  • Save muisc in Lightroom slideshow

    I just did my 1st slide show in lightroom 1.3 Windows version. It saved just fine and played nice. Is there anyway to save the music to the slide show once saved in pdf form? Is there any other way to save the music in the slide show by other means. If not will adobe look at this change. This is one of the best slide show programs that very professional in all other aspects. Thank you. Harland

    Only one audio file can be used in a Lightroom slideshow.
    You'll have to combine multiple songs into a single audio file (e.g. using Audition) then use the single audio file in the Lightroom slideshow.
    For more flexibility, you can use commercial software such as ProShow Web, Gold or Producer which comes with a free Lightroom plugin
    ProShow Gold - Create Fast and Fun Photo Slideshows
    ProShow Web - Instant Photo and Video Slideshows from your Mac or PC

  • Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

    Hi folks-
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
    I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
    I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
    I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
    Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
    So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
    I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
    Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
    So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
    What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
    I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
    Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
    Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
    Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
    So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
    and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
    Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
    To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
    This all really smells like a bug.
    For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
    Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...
