LR 5 Slideshow Video Export Issue

I've created a slideshow where all of the photos display properly within Lightroom's slideshow module. But when I export the slideshow to video (this doesn't happen for the pdf export), a few of my photos are rendered on screen at very low resolution/fuzzy. This only happens to a few of the photos and these same photos look fine if viewed within the LR slideshow module. It's just after export that a few of the photos get rendered at low resolution; all other photos in the slideshow are fine. Reading some posts, i tried deleting the previews for all of the photos and then re-rendering them at 1:1 and then trying the export again, but i get the same outcome...although this time, different photos were rendered at low resolution. Is this some kind of bug or have i failed to set a setting properly?

I can duplicate the issue of some landscape images appearing very soft in the MP4 slideshow video on my Windows 7 LR5.3 system.
To rule out issues I started by selecting all of the image files to be used in the Library module. Then I selected toolbar Library> Previews> Discard 1:1 previews. Next I selected Library> Previews> Build 1:1 Previews and then created the slideshow video again. None of the images appeared soft in the 1080p video created from Canon 5D MKII video files. In fact the results actually appear better than LR4.
If this doesn't resolve your issue please provide image file types you are using (Camera model, raw, JPEG, resolution), Slideshow video preset you are using (1080p, 720p etc.), and your Catalog Settings> File Handling> Standard Preview Size (2048, 1680, etc.).

Video export issues with 5D mk II video

Using a trial version I keep running into issues with video slideshow export.
I have some 1080p '24fps' video clips from the 5D II, added them to a new Slideshow, did a Custom Export to h264 with height 720 (which from memory took the width to 1152) and 24fps - I want this to play on AppleTV, but the resulting video starts ok, but has multiple sections of blank video - in QT the frame rate has also been upped to 36fps!
It also takes a ridiculous amount of time to export a short clip, but that's seems par for the course for many of Apple's apps. This is on a 2008 8x3GHz Mac Pro with plenty of RAM, though running Leopard.
Anyone done any A/Bs of performance in Leopard vs Snow Leopard - does it make better usage of multiple cores? (They all have a little activity but it's 10% or so, perhaps 1 core at 70-80%, I can't understand even if it's not using all fully why one isn't getting maxed out with the conversion process).
The slideshow export function seems incredibly buggy - it used to output using AppleTv preset with incompatible frame rates, though they may have fixed that.

Just a thought, but 24p was just added to the markII through a firmware update.
Yes, which is why I thought it would be great for AppleTV which can only officially support 720p at 24fps (though 25fps will often work).
If I use an AppleTv preset it will now rescale to 960x540, but I want to use 1280x720.
Previously in 3.0 the AppleTV preset output 720p but at 30fps which is too high for AppleTV.
Are you sure it's not the footage? Have you tried it in FCP? Also, it maybe that 24p isn't supported in A3, but this all just conjecture on my part.
Good thought, but I would imagine QT is the engine supporting the Aperture exports, and if parameters are set correctly it should give the appropriate output.
I'll try using QT Pro and see what that does with a clip.

IPhoto '11 Flickr Video Export Issue

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '11, and for the first time last night attempted to export some videos to my Flickr page using the "Share" command (i've had no problems exporting photos using this method).
The videos I wanted to export uploaded correctly, but when I went to my Flickr page I noticed that the video thumbnail images were just blank white squares. I tried playing them anyway and found that the audio uploaded without a problem, but there isn't any video.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I assume that it has something to do with the encoding/formatting/compression that iPhoto uses prior to uploading to my Flickr account.
Any ideas?

Same problem happened to me.
I can view videos without a problem in iPhoto, but when I try to watch it on flickr after uploaded using iPhoto,
the video is just a white screen with sound.
The information pane on the right side of iPhoto says the videos is
1280x720 14.1MB MPEG-4
Using iPhoto 11 version9.4.3
The video is taken using Ricoh camera.

Slideshow Video Export

Very dissapointed to see that in the new version of iPhoto the ability to export a slideshow to various different video formats has inexplicably been removed. Previously you could export to several different formats, now it's just iTunes format or nothing. Kind of a shame as I was relying on it to export a slideshow for a party which has to be played on a TV which will only accept vanilla MP4 files. Just as well I already exported an earlier version.

iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback.
That said, there are a hundred video converters out there...

Video Export Issues in Lightroom 4.1

Hi, I’m trying to export a H264 (.MOV) in its original format but with applied trimming. The file is exported as an exact copy of the original file with no trimming applied. I can export the trimmed version by selecting H264 and choosing max quality but suspect that this reduces the quality of the original file. The reason I suspect quality loss in the H264 exporting option is that if I export a full (unedited) clip, then the file size is substantially reduced from the original file size.
Can anyone suggest a good workflow that maintains the original file capture quality and enables trimming?
Many thanks

It Looks as if I’ve found the answer to the export option of ‘Original’.
To quote from Adobe Lightroom help “ the original option exports a copy of the file without any adjustments made in Lightroom”.
However, I’m still not sure if the H264 export option causes any file quality deterioration. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Video Exporting Issues

So I haven't exported anything since the Snow Leopard update, and I imagine this is the problem. I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 on my computer, and when I try to export my timeline, it only exports the first 10 seconds of the project. Nothing I seem to do (including deleting the cache and starting over basically) seems to fix the problem.

Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 is not compatible with Intel Macs, nor with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.
It will install and (sort of) work but exhibit some very strange quirks. Some things will work one time but not the next.
That said, are you sure that you don't have mark in and out points set on the Timeline?
Also: If you are trying to export a Windows Media file, you must have the paid version of Flip4Mac. The free version will only export half of your clip, to a maximum of 30 seconds.

Export slideshow video - does it work?

Just installed LR3. My first and second attempts at exporting a slideshow video failed - the result includes a proper audio track, but the transitions between photos are jerky and pixellated and jump back and forth between photos and the background before completing the transition. I tried 720 and 1080 modes. The exported video didn't look anything like the slideshow preview in LR3.
I'm using a PC with Windows XP. The video player I am using, KMPlayer, has played hundreds of MP4 files of various podcasters without issue. I tried playing the exported video on a MacBook, but playback simply hung up.
If I can't play the resulting video easily and reliably, of course I'm effectively unable to share the video with anyone.
For me, this new feature of LR3 is great in theory, but INOP in reality.
Have any PC users had a positive experience with exporting a slideshow video in LR3?

I too have had no luck converting the mp4 output from the Lr3 Slideshow to any other production format I can manipulate.
And I assumed that this capability would be capable with all other CS products and allow the output to be dropped and dragged right into Premiere Pro or Flash for further integration and production.
Spent all day yesterday downloading a number of mp4 converters just on the hunch that one would convert the output to an avi or mov format readable by PPro3.
Would have been better off buying a lottery ticket.
I am trying Streamclip this morning as a last resort before rebuilding my efforts from scratch in PPro3, which is what I have always done in the past to avoid the two or three days of hoping and fetching around the net for new shortcuts to make my workflow truly go faster. By the time I give up hoping, for a better solution, I could have built the show manually to begin with. Will report back here it Streamclip works.
Am working this one on the PC side of the tracks so if anyone has a bullet proof solution, please share. If I could only wish I was the problem, a misconfiguration, I gladly would admit to it.
Making Pigs Fly ~ gmo
=====================================================================
UPDATE : Was able to convert the Lr3 Slideshow MP4 file to a MOV file successfully using Streamclip.
The converted file imports into PPr3.
Life is good. I just wish it was easier.

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 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video.

Lightroom 5.4 reaches 10% and crashes when exporting a slideshow video every time. I have Abobe Premiere elements 10, which works fine for creating a slideshow. Could there be a conflict? Any suggestions most welcome as this problem is driving me bom-boms.
Regards Dave

Thanks so much ... just tried it and it worked perfectly. I just used a small external drive to transfer them, and ticked the option to 'copy and import photos to new location', so not only the catalogue, but also the photos themselves are on my iMac. Very simple. Thanks.

Slideshow export issue

I have 2 slideshows that export just fine. BUT when i combine them and then export them as a single slideshow aperture produces a file that will not open (only 4k, no alert boxes pop up to tell me anything went wrong).
Is there a maximum length or size to a slideshow?????

I was with the same problem and followed the instructions from another discussion in this forum.
Try this:
. Do a simple file search (via spotlight) on the files related to "3ivx" codec.
. Remove the files or uninstall this codec
. Try to export from iPhoto again.
That should work.
Hope this helps.

Bizzare export issue

Here is a very weird export issue. Windows XP.
Project is set at h264 1920x1080 mono audio 29.97 fps
I have 30 shots that make up the sequence. Each shot is exactly 90 frames. I exported each sequence at h264 1920x1080 with one channel of audio. The first shot exports just fine and is 5 MB. The second shot exports at 10 MB. The third is 15 MB, the tenth shot is 50MB. But the picture is still 90 frames for each shot. BUT, when I export without audio each exported file is just 5 MB. If I look at the properties of each clip the duration of the video and audio is just 90 frames. If I open one of these clips in QuickTime Pro and re-export it as source then the files size goes back to 5 MB; same video, same audio yet with the correct file size.
Anyone seen this before?
Is there a setting that could be incorrect?

Weird, man. Not sure what might cause that.

Simple flash export issue

hello
I'm trying to export a flash video using Adobe media encoder from Premier Pro, but when I do I get this error " there are no clips to build".
I have another file that I am able to export and it does not have this problem.
They are Windows Media files and play in Premier fine. I am using Premier Pro CS3.
Lastly, I'm not a video expert but I really need to get these up on the web for work, there is a lot of pressure and I need to get it done.
Regards,
Tom

Video format issues - imovie 11

I'm having difficulty getting my videos exported from LR4.1 and imported into iMovie11 (or converted with QuickTimePro).
I'm exporting with H.264 to maintain edits I've made (mov is just a copy of original video but does allow import into QuickTime).
When I import into iMovie11, the only visual is a still frame of the video. The audio works just fine, but there no video. I've optimized the video for full size to ensure its not a performance issue (also on a brand new iMac, so that shouldn't be the problem). From searching around it appears to be a codec issue, so I figured I'd convert it to a different format with QuickTime Pro. When I try and save as a self contained movie (mov format) QTPro fails and says that the movie "contains an incorrect time value". I've had some success with trial versions of other software that converts to different formats, but I don't want to have to buy another piece of software, or do a whole other step!

I've done a workaround by just using adobe premiere elements10 instead of imovie11. imovie sucks.... i can't quite edit with as much flexibility in premiere elements, but it's much better at video editing and it's got some rough color correction / brightness tools.

Video export workflow - suggestions?

Hi,
the task at hand is: Take some videos, crop them, and put them together on a DVD for customers to watch. Nothing fancy, no titles, menues etc. required. So far, I've done this with Premiere Elements 7, which just plain works, but is no good for cataloguing, which LR4 brings us.
Question to all: I realize the LR4 video exports are some obscure formats I really don't care about and which are definitely not what I need for DVD export. What do you recommend? Keeping the files in LR, but doing the work in Premiere Elements? Exporting, then converting using one of the thousands of conversion software programs out there (which one?).
I think other people than me must have the same problem and would love to hear how you approach this.
Best regards from Germany,
Christoph
