.MOV files in Lightroom 4.4 slideshow. How?

I can add .MOV files into my slide show in Lightroom 4.4, but I get no sound, no movement. Conversion needed but how?

I was getting this message: "There is a problem with the video file" when attempting to import video files on Lightroom 4.1 (and after upgrading to 4.2) on Win7/64-bit.
The video files were M-JPEG/AVI and H.264/MP4. 
Seeing a recommendation elsewhere, I uninstalled DivX and rebooted.
This resolved the issue for me!
Perhaps it will work for you, too, William.

  • Severe corruption of .MOV files in Lightroom & unusable processing speed

    Hi all,
    I run on an Intel i7 quad core, 12 GB Ram, 2 GB Graphics Card (nvidia), Raid 0, 2x512 GB Harddisk space (1 TB), Windows Vista 64bit using the latest cut of Lightroom 3.4.1 64bit.
    Using a Canon 7D with latest firmware updates, for RAW/JPG/MOV - this is the only source of all files that I currently use in Lightroom.
    First Question regarding corruption of .MOV files:
    Once I copy my files over from the camera onto my computer, I can play all .MOV files seemlessly with no flaws or hiccups (using multiple movie players), after I import the files in the directory (this includes the .JPG's, .RAW's, and .MOV's) into Lightroom, my .MOV files no longer play on my computer, the files begin to stutter and jolt, and are completely unusable. You can imagine my frustration as I've only recently added a huge chunk of my files to be cataloged by Lightroom, resulting in the last years worth of .MOV files being corrupted and ruined.
    I am wondering if anyone has had this issue before and if they've found a way to fix it? I understand I could simply un-tick the import of .MOV files (and do so from now on), but I find it baffling that Lightroom is ruining the .MOV files - as it's not actually meant to touch the original files themselves is it? It's meant to add it's own layer of things to do to that file, stored in its own catalogue never meant to actually change the original files themselves.
    Second question regarding unusable processing speed:
    When DEVELOPing in Lightroom (I develop on two 24" monitors, both displaying at 1920x1200) it can take anywhere between 10-20 seconds for what I'm actually doing to take effect, ie. spot removal or changing the noise levels of a photo. My catalog currently has 10438 photos in it - is this overwhelming for Lightroom?
    I love Lightroom and its functionality - when I first started using it these problems didn't seem to exist, so I'm unaware if it's an update or if it's just the increase in photos it has catalog'd that're bogging it down. I would love to resolve these matters as Lightroom is definitely where I want to be.
    regards,
    Emilio

    Thanks for your response,
    After what you said, in having absolutely no issue with .MOV files, I decided to ensure every drive on my computer was up-to-date and all software packages were final cut versions.
    When I started playing my .MOV files (using VLC version 1.1.10 as standard), the files played fine after a graphics card update/VLC update/Windows system update/computer reboot (Lightroom NOT loaded) - So you are absolutely right, Lightroom is NOT in any way affecting my original .MOV Files, however:
    When I then loaded Lightroom up, and started to then play my .MOV files (whilst Lightroom was running, and still using VLC (standard default player) (no other packages loaded), the files would begin to jolt/jitter/ struggle to play again.
    If I monitor Task manager/Resources the only noticable heavy usage on Lightroom is having dedicated itself 1.7 GB of memory (not that much considering 12 GB is available), but also that clicking on any picture (whilst in grid-view, showing .CR2+.JPG as one, second monitor showing preview image) all of my 8 CPU's would spike to 90-100% for a second or so then drop down - fair enough.
    I then close Lightroom and my .MOV files still don't play accurately - after a while (approx 30 minutes) my .MOV files will play seemlessly fine again.
    So, I stand corrected that Lightroom is, in fact, NOT corrupting my files and regret my title choice, but is Lightroom doing something to my system which is making it hang/struggle whilst Lightroom seems to flush/go through its buffer?
    Also what import preview do you set your catalog to? 1:1 then wait for it to complete the full import or standard?
    Another major issue I'm having is when exporting multiple files (200+ or so), I notice the exporting process is fast initially then dramatically slows down my whole computer as all my RAM (the full 12 GB's) gets sucked up - after 60 or so photo exports Lightroom would have used the full 12 GB Ram I have available, and stopping the export does NOT free up the Ram - I need to completely close Lightroom (which then frees up the used RAM).
    Thanks in advanced

  • Is there a way to change the Digitised Date for Mov files in Lightroom?

    I am scanning some old photos.  Unfortunately Programs such as Dropbox and OneDrive display Mov files by their digitised Date.
    Consequently, My scanned photos are shown by the date that I scanned them. I can not seem to find anyway in LightRoom to change the Digitised Date so that they are shown on OneDrive/Dropbox in the correct order on my iPad.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Your subject line says "Mov files" (which are video files), but your message talks about scanning old photos.  I'll address the old photos issue.
    Because there are so many dates/times associated with photos, and because every program feels free to use its own names, it's critical to be pedantically precise about terminology. The date/time a photo was originally taken (when the shutter was pressed) is called Date/Time Original or Capture Date. The date/time a photo was transferred to digital media is called Date/Time Digitized (when the analog file was scanned or when the digital-camera shutter was pressed). 
    A good rule of hygiene is to ensure every photo has a Date/Time Original (capture date).  Typically only digital archivists care about maintaining Date/Time Digitized.  If you ensure that every photo has a Date/Time Original, then pretty much any modern app and Web site will order your photos correctly.
    In LR, you set Date/Time Original using the Metadata > Edit Capture Time command.  By default, LR won't write the capture time back to the file's metadata, so depending on how you are transferring photos to other programs, the capture time won't necessarily get transferred.  So you either need to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File, or better, set the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
    Unfortunately, LR's Edit Capture Time isn't very flexible with dealing with scanned photos in which the precise date/time is not known.  So some people like to set an entire batch to, say, 1963/10/01 00:00:00, while others like to have each photo set in increasing increments of 1 second, so that programs will at least maintain the known relative ordering (which comes from the film or slide ordering).   To do that, you'll need a third-party plugin, e.g. ExifMeta or CaptureTime To EXIF.

  • Cannot import Canon 500D .MOV files into Lightroom 4.1

    I've seen a few problems on here about similar issues.
    I've imported .mov files before, but a perfectly valid (short, circa 10 seconds) .MOV clip just will not preview or import into Lightroom 4.1 on my Win7 x64 system.
    The movie will play fine directly from the card, but just won't import!
    Any ideas, chaps?

  • Why do I get an error importing .mov files in Lightroom 4.2 RC

    I have Lightroom 4.2 RC on a Windows 7 desktop and laptop. Mov files from a Nikon D4 import fine on the desktop, but I get an error importing the same files on my laptop and they get skipped. My laptop is actually newer and more powerful than my desktop.

  • Unable to move files in Lightroom 4.4

    Very recently I have lost the ability to move files from one folder to another in Lightroom 4.4.  I was highlighting the files I wanted to move and then I would drag them to the folder I wanted to move the files to.  Now if I highlight numerous files when I try to drag the files Lightroom will just highlight the file my cursor is hovering over.  It then won't let me drag the file to the folder I desire.  Please help!  This is putting a serious damper on my workflow!

    Grid mode in Library module, make sure you, click and hold, on the center (not the border) of one of the selected photos. Then drag them to the folder you wish to move them to.

  • Can I move files in Lightroom, and I have 5.5 to my Creative Cloud File in Lightroom?

    Moving files in Lightroom...

    No moving of files is needed.
    Just launch the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom. It should find your existing LR 5.5 catalog and make use of it; if it does not happen automatically, in the CC version of LR use File->Open Catalog

  • How do i move files from ipad to shared storage, how do i move files from ipad to shared storage

    I have run out of room on my 64GB iPad.  It contains two series of a TV program and I want to keep the episodes.  However I would like to be able to get at these episodes wherever I am located be it in Australia, Europe or the USA so would like to have them located in shared storage.  What is the best way to achieve this.  I am somewhat confused with my choices and my last update experience of losing a number of movies makes me nervous.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks

    All of your purchases are available free again from the stores. You can delete them and when you want to access them again just go to the store under purchased and select the ones you want. I do this all the time on my 16 gig ipad.

  • Sorting .Mov files in Adobe Premiere Elements 10

    I have imported all my .MOV files into Adobe PE 10. How do I sort them by date order so I can make the film in chronological order?
    It is strange because all my .Mov files are ordered by date in Adobe Premiere 10 Organizer - but then in Adobe PE 10, I can only sort by file length or name...? this seems a bit strange when I am trying to make a chronological family movie. Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Alana

    While there are some possibilities for sorting on MetaData in PrPro's Project Panel, the handling of Time/Date shot differs so much by the camera used, that most complain that it does not work, as they would like it to, so not really much better, if at all.
    To get an idea of the problems encountered, I would do a Search of the PrPro CS 6 Forum, for "date," and read some of those threads.
    Good luck,

  • Color in .mov file from After Effects CS6

    Scrren shot of how my animation looks in After Effects CS6 (on the left), vs. how it looks when rendered to a .mov file. (on the right). See how washed-out the colors look?
    I am on a Mac, latest software versions and OSX.7.4. The source material is in RGB mode,  Color Setting is Adobe RGB 1998, which is my wRGB working space. Color settings are synchronized across the entire suite. In the AE project settings, I see that color management is turned on and we are indeed in the  Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
    Possibly export settings, because I do not know thing one about those!

    Read this FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?
    Then I would suggest trying a different codec.  When you send your comp to the Render Queue it says lossless next ot the Output Module Settings, that means that it's using After Effect's defualt lossless settings, which uses a codec called Animation.  Animation is an ancient codec that delivers huge files and it isn't used so much in production anymore.  If you click on lossless the Output Module Settings screen will come up where you can change the format of your render and you can change the codec by hitting the Format Options button.
    I've seen that washed out issue before with the Animation codec and just did some tests.  I also played with the Color Management settings using the Animation codec by going to the upper right hand tab in the Output Module Settings menu.  That seemed to have no effect on the final look of the render.  A quicktime render with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec seems to match the AE screenshot almost identically.
    Unfortunately, you can't get the ProRes codecs without having either Final Cut Pro installed or Apple Motion.  I think it's possible to buy them from the Apple website.  However, there are other lossless codecs you can try such as Uncompressed YUV 10bit or 8bit, but I just did a test and I got a much darker render than the ProRes renders and the screenshot.  Judge for yourself what's best...
    If you want ot know more, here's an FAQ on the basics of rendering and exporting in AE...

  • IWeb: MP3 podcasts downloading as .MOV files

    I recently added new podcasts to my website, and for some reason, the new podcasts are downloading as an MOV file instead of MP3, which is how they were uploaded. Previous podcasts are still downloading properly.
    I even made sure to use the "Duplicate" function, so I used the exact same code from the previously created podcast entries. Any thoughts? Is this a problem created by the MobileMe migration?

    That has been a problem for quite a while now. The same goes for mp3 audio files. This thread discusses it: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7448436&#7448436.

  • Final cut movie file dependency?

    I'm hoping someone can explain to me how exactly "final cut express movie files" work. I've read that they're just .mov files, and I know that if I change what program they're set to open with they show up as "quicktime movie files" instead; what's confusing me though is that I thought they were independent of the project file, render files, etc but when I transferred several to another computer (having created them by exporting to quicktime in FCE), now only one of them will play (in quicktime - this computer doesnt have FCE). On one computer I've tried, quicktime just hangs, and on another, the file opens but it's only audio. Now one of them won't even play on the computer it was created on. I also have an iDVD project that references one of these movies, and opening that project file I get an error that it's searching for a referenced file - NOT the final cut movie file itselef, but apperenetly something that file is referencing (I'm not on that computer now so can't give the exact message but it's something with "Seq-1" in it as I recall). I may have also gotten that error opening one of the movies in quicktime, I can't remember anymore...
    But it really seems these final cut movie files are referencing something - is that how it's supposed to be?? I have some I've made from previous projects that work just fine totally independently (I've deleted everything else from those projects). Any idea what's going on this time?
    I'm using both FCE HD and FCE version 1 - the only movie that seems to be working independently was exported from version 1, but the others were from HD. Sorry I don't have more details about the errors, I'll try to post more later when I'm at home.
    Thanks in advance!

    It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
    and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
    I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
    As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:
