Problems exporting as DNG with LR5

(use a pc) Just upgraded from LR 3 to 5, for some reason when I export my worked on files to a DNG, some of my changes made from the xmp/raw file do not stay saved when I export as a DNG example the exposure changes are not save. (I do this all the time with LR3, no problems.) Am I missing something? thanks!

I believe that the problem is that LR5 uses a new process version (called Process Version 2012), which CS3 and CS4 do not understand, and so cannot display your edits. You would need to send a TIF or JPG file to CS3 or CS4 to have the exposure appear properly.
I have not tried this, but I believe that if you edit the photo in Lightroom 5 but select Process Version 2010 to do your editing, then the DNG export will be readable by CS3 or CS4. Of course, you lose the benefits of Process Version 2012. (use Settings->Process->2010) Note: changing the process version on photos you have already edited will change the appearance of the photo.

Can't export to DNG with adjustments

HI all. I'm having a problem exporting a DNG file as an original or as DNG with adjustments. All the exports is the original DNG file. I do get a clean export with adjustments when I export to jpg. any thoughts?
here's the details: software is lightroom 4.1 and camera raw 7.1. File was NEF converted to DNG on import. numerous adjustment to tone, w/brushes, etc. xmp written to file. tried dng export preset as well as through the export module. exported to various versions of camera raw. all with no luck. opened in CS 5 and Preview, with the same results: no adjustments to DNG.
I have won a free high-end print and the printer says DNG will be better. Any thoughts??? have searched the forum to no avail.....
Thanks in advance!
David

My understanding is tht you have to direct Lr to save the develop settings to the dng files. Open - Edit - Catalog Settings - Metadata - Check the box "automatically write changes to xmp".

HT4681 Problem exporting time lapse with FCPX 10.0.6

I have been trying to export my time lapse and it processes for a bit, then this message comes up:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)
Before updating to version 6, I had no problems exporting dozens of time lapses. As far as I know, I'm not doing anything differently than my previous ones. This is not even the biggest file I've processed.
I have Compressor 4, and that fails as well.
Thanks for any help

See if it will export with other settings, like Master File, Pro Res. If it does, you can then do your h.264 encode in Compressor.
Whether that works or not, try the usual troubleshooting steps of trashing preferences and repairing permissions.
(I'm also assuming that you followed Tom's advice to make sure both FCP and Compressor were updated to their latest versions.)

Problems exporting Premiere Pro with SWFs in as .mov files.

Hi,
I'm not the most competent with Premiere and am having a few problems exporting my final movie.
I am having problems with an animation (Screen size: 1024 x 576) I am producing; I've produced all the animation in Flash then exported the files as SWFS, and want to composite it in Premiere and export it as Quicktime Movie (H.264), as this seems to give the best image quality for the final movie. All the SWFs export from Flash and import into Premiere fine, and in the main the SWFs export fine from Premiere, however a few of the SWFs don't export into the final finished movie, leaving just a blank screen, and others only partially export, either stopping halfway through the shot or exporting with some of the layers from the SWF missing. I've tried re importing the files but I still encounter the same problems.
Can anyone shed any light onto where I may be going wrong and what I can do to get the entire movie to export fully? Or if there is a better way of exporting the files from Flash to a final finished movie?
If you need any other information let me know,
Many thanks
Josh

Hmmm...
I did a quick test in your behalf with a test project with and without "alpha glow" applied to all of the media.
The results were actually kind of strange:
- export to .mp4 utilized all cores (6-core box w/ Hyperthreads) with a smooth 82% utilization for the whole export; memory usage (also from task manager) went up and once it hit a maximum, it stayed there
- export to .mp4 with "alpha glow" applied -> CPU usage started out pretty good, then memory usage maxed out and then actually cam down; after a bit, the CPU usage stabilized at around 22%, or about 25% of what it had been at the start of the export
Smells to me like an Adobe bug or design-flaw.
Anyway, good luck with your testing.
I totally agree with Bill's suggest to do a full PPBM7 test on your new rig and report the scores back here - and to the PPBM7 site of course. This will help you to have confidence in your new hardware and setup. Once your hardware and configuration (for Win7, drive caching, Premiere settings, etc.) are working fine, then your particular workflow, etc. can be a separate troubleshooting step.
Good luck!

Project manager - problem exporting a project with AE compositions.

I have a problem exporting my project to another disk, this is what happens:
I needed to move the project from the windows partition of my Mac to the Mac partition, in order to be able to continue my edit under MacOS, my sequences include a series of After Effects compositions of footage that has been stabilized in warp stabilizer using the option "replace with AE composition" from the timeline.
Using the project manager I started my backup operation, with these options:
Source: all sequences selected
Resulting Project: Collect files and copy to new location
Include Audio conform files
Destination: a folder in the Mac partition
The resulting project had a message popping up saying that AE rpject file is missing (it was, I had to manually copy and paste it from ithe win partition to the mac) and once copied obviously AE couldn't find the source video clips of its compositions, so I had to manually re-link them all (quite difficult job to do among almost two years of footage).
What have I done wrong ?
Why AE lose the connection with the fils?
Thanks

Thanks Jim,
I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software. I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented. Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives. The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix. As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
Best,
Jon

Help Migrating to DNG with Lr5

Hello,
I decided to migrate from RAW to DNG,
how can I convert the wholw Lr catalog without loosing my edit, rating, metadata, (all what is applied to my RAW files)
what will I loose by converting all my images to DNG, ?
thanks in advance

Short answer: in 99% of cases, you don't lose anything. But you will not be able to edit the files in the original software.
Longer answer:
if you convert a RAW to DNG with the last DNG converter/ACR/Lightroom, all the data will be still there, even the private manufacturers' data.
But the original software (DPP for Canon, ViewNX for Nikon, etc) will not be able to read them, since they do not implement the full DNG specs.
Se my post at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1414404#6155513 .
there are indeed some cases where you lose data: for example, Sigma DP Merril / Foveon data is linearized during the RAW-DNG conversion (look at http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/specification.htm for an explication).
And some cameras have blind photosites and other internal settings that are not saved to DNG since they are useless.
You also lose CRCs of the original files, like Nikon and Canon Image Authentication (well, it is not a severe issue, as these authentication systems have been cracked in 2011: http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/28/both-nikon-and-canons-image-authentication-systems-busted /)
As JimHess said, you don't lose any metadata applied by Lightroom, since they are saved in the Catalog and in the related XMP file.
What you gain with DNG?
- DNG is an open format, so you are sure that, in the case the manufacturer closes or decides not to support anymore your model, at least you have the full specifications to get back your data.
- XMP files are saved inside DNG, and not as a sidecar file, so you don't risk to lose your modifications when using the OS filesystem actions to move files (LR automatically moved RAW & XMP files)
- a DNG is usually lighter

Problems Exporting to PDF with ID 5.5 - specific symptoms

I'm hoping the symptoms of my problem are specific enough that someone will have a good idea of what's wrong.
I have multiple chapter files that I use to make up a single book file, which I create the pdf from. Here's what happens:
1. When I click on the "print the book" icon at the bottom of the book window, ID will crash.
2. So instead, I click on the pull-down menu at the upper right of the window and select "Export book to pdf".
3. Now, it generates a pdf but in the pdf some pages are with a single page from the ID file and some have two pages spread across a single pdf page, very randomly it appears.
4. To get around this (or so I thought) I went to document setup in ID and deselected the "Facing Pages" checkbox.
5. As soon as I do this, the left side header and footer of all pages in that chapter get offset to the left. Ok, so I go to the master page and realign them.
6. Now I export again in the manner described above and the page numbering comes out all messed up in the pdf. Even if the ID (source) file has pages 6-1, 6-2, etc. in the pdf every page will be marked as 6-1.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated! I am using Windows XP.

Firstly - the 4-6 steps are unnescearry - I recommend you go back to the original layout.

I recommend you delete that Book file and create a new one.
if the problem persists, try selecting individual documents in the Book to export to PDF or to print. It could be a specific file causing the issue.
If some pages are coming out as "spreads" then you must have facing pages in some documents and some single pages in another document or something? I recommend turning off Spreads in the PDF and print settings.
It's a little unclear of your document structure - and your document sizes. What are the sizes of the document in all the individual Chapters. Can you post screen shots of the Book panel - and also of each Chapter file (just a single or spread of a page(s))

Problem exporting Quicktime Mov with Premiere / Media Encoder

I have a MOV-file which has been exported from Final Cut. I imported and edited it in Premiere CS 5.5 and then tried to export again to Quicktime Mov. Problem is that the output looks terrible.

Problem exporting a PDF with Helvetica Neue

I am using InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.8.4. I have a PDF with Helvetica Neue in it. When I export this file to a PDF my client claims that the text is jumbled and appears to be widely spaced/leaded. I've read it's an issue with Helvetica Neue as a system font, and found the following solution, but wondered if there was a simpler answer that does not involve messing with my system fonts.

I am sorry this is the simplest way if you need to use exactly that font.

Problems exporting to PDF with AI placed files

I have a 24 page document with placed illustrator files. When I go to export to PDF it takes hours to export. When I change all the placed images to JPG it exports fine. Anyone know why this is happening. I thought the whole point of the newer versions of InDesign was you were able to use native Adobe files.
What are the best file types to place in InDesign?

If would help to know versions and OS. ALWAYS tell us the version(s) of program(s) you are using, what OS, and the version of that OS. Some people overdo it with model and speed of CPU, RAM, video card, monitor size, hard drive space, make and model of car, and shoe size. Don’t need any of that crap.

Final Cut Pro X Exporting to Youtube with Canon 5D Mark ii

Hi,
I'm having problems exporting to Youtube with Final Cut Pro X. i convert the file and upload, but the audio is not syncing properly. The video is fine. Any tips on what to do? I'm using a Canon 5 D Mark ii. 24fps, 1080
Also does anyone know where the audio setting are on FCPX?
Thanks

Hi aussiearn
The process you suggested worked beautifully: images clear and true sound accurate.
I have over 100 30 to 60-minute videos to put on a client's YouTube channel. Using the YouTube settings in Compressor my first uploads colours were looking washed out, and the audio progressively slipped when played via the Safari browser. Your advice has fixed this issue, so thank you for taking the time to post.
To clarify what I understood your process to be for others who may wish to use it:
In FCPX choose 'Share' from the menu bar
Select 'Export Media'
In the options presented: 'Export' should be set to 'Video and Audio'; 'Video codec' as H.264; 'Audio file format' will be greyed out but show Quicktime Movie; 'Open with' will show 'QuickTime Player.app (default)'. Click 'Next'.
You'll be presented with 'Save As' options. Name the file and select where you want it to go on your drive(s), and click 'Save'.
Export will begin: my 6.84GB video, which was 45-minutes of 1920 x 1080 at 23.98fps, took about 35 minutes using a Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM
When the export is complete the video should automatically open in QuickTime.
Within QuickTime go to 'File' on the menu bar and choose 'Export for Web', which is at the bottom of the drop-down menu
You'll be presented with a box that says 'Export versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery to iPhone and the desktop'. Pick what you want to name the file in the 'Export as' and then where you want it to go in 'Where' (obviously enough). You can save in three versions for different contexts, but I chose only to save as 'Broadband', with the best quality as YouTube will automatically create different versions later. Click 'Export'.
An 'Export Progress' box should appear. My file took around 45-minutes to process.
At the end of the process you will find a folder with your chosen name, rather than a file. Click on tha folder, then click on the 'Resources' Folder you will find in side. Amongst other files you'll find a .m4v file with 'broadband' at the end of the name. Rename the file and change the suffix '.m4v' to '.mp4' and upload to YouTube.
As you said this seems to save a lot of time compared to compressor (perhaps half the time?) The file that began the process at 6.84 GB ended as 1.16 GB, and looks and sounds great.
Thank you,
Nigel

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

OBPM - Problem exporting to CSV (for use in Excel) with special characters?

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has found a good solution to a problem I am experiencing with OBPM's OTB export function.
Our application is required to be bilingual for English and French, however we've noticed that when the user is in French-display-mode, and exports their worklist to CSV, the french characters are garbled when viewed in Excel.
We've tracked the problem down to be that OBPM encodes the CSV file as UTF-8, and Excel default is ANSI. This mismatch causes the garble.
Has anyone out there found a way to set the encoding type, or otherwise overcome this issue? We are using OBPM version 10.3.2
Thanks!
Steps to recreate:
1. Open the OBPM workspace
2. Click "Settings" in the top right corner
3. Select the "Display" tab, and change the language to French, click save.
4. Notice your column names now appear in French. Export your worklist to CSV using the "Output options" icon
5. open the resulting file in Excel, notice that any specail characters (accented e's for example) are not garbled.

Hi Sharma,
We seem to be the only two people on the forum using multiple languages!
I have contacted Oracle support about the issue and am awaiting their reply as we speak.. We have a workaround that we can use, but our users are not fans of it, and would like to see a better solution.
Our workaround is simply to open the CSV file in notepad++ and re-save the file with ANSI encoding.
You mentioned Oracle support had provided you with 3 fixes, were these code-fixes or workarounds? I am wondering if perhaps one of those would work for us..

Problems with LR5.7

At the moment I’m having problems with LR5. Hopefully someone could help me…
When I’m in the ‘develop’ module I can’t see the changes I’ll make in the screen.
For example; when I would like to crop an image the complete image appears in grey and I can’t see the image anymore.
For example; when I would like to change the lightening from the picture, I can’t see the change I would like to make. Not on the screen and not in the navigator.
I’ve already reinstalled LR and installed it again, but the problem still isn’t solved.
Could somebody please help me?! Many thanks in advanced!!!

The video card in your computer has a driver (which is software that allows it to operate). Depending on your computer and what video card it is, you would have to download the most current video driver and install it so that the problem can possibly be fixed.
You have to look at your computer's specifications and determine what video card is used. That will determine how to find the most current driver.

Problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP

Hi!
there is problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP.
when I transfer print form from one SAP system to other, logo image and some text is missing... what could be the reason?
Maybe there is other way to transfer print forms between SAP systems without using program RSTXSCRP?
Will reward,
Mindaugas

Hi,
when you transfer print forms from one sap system to another, logos are not transfered automatically. these are actually .bmp files which need to be existing in every client. then only when you run your print program logo can be seen in your print output. hence logos need to be created explicitly in every client where you want to run your print program.
