Slideshow exports are failing

I've got my Aperture 3.2 library on my iMac failing to export a simple 5min slideshow.
Doesn't seem to matter what options, what themes, locations ... it spins for a few moments, then claims it's finished - yet no file appears.
Thoughts?
I've tried rebuilding / repairing my library (ran all three options).
I've exported the project into it's own library too, no joy.

Aha, got it!
I just removed the 3ivx codec from library\quicktime and tried again - now the percentage indicator is ticking along and nothing has failed yet.
If I recall, I installed that so I could use my old Flip video camera - not sure if it's an old version or not, but now it's gone, things seem to be working again.
Hope this helps some others - I've seen a few problems like this around as I was researching today.

Slideshow Exports are not sharp but fuzzy

Trying Slideshow in A3. Chose Export. Tried the Mobileme/Youtube setting. Uploaded to Youtube - the whole show, the images are like a low quality blurry. It looks the same if I open in iTuns or Quicktime.
SO I tried HD 720. Only slightly better, but bad.
The images are all high quality. Nikon RAW - all processed and when uploaded again via A3 - look prefect on MM.
SO I have tried each setting for SLideshow Export. Each totally unacceptable quality. WHat am I missing. I did put some original music behind it too.

If by MM you mean MobileMe, remember that the displayed resolution of the web.jpg image version used for MobileMe galleries and slideshows is never any better than 1024x1024, regardless of what Actual size you uploaded (or specified as Download size) or the size of your browser window or monitor.
So don't go crazy uploading hi-res versions if you're only going to be displaying them on-line.

Nope -just exported to the desktop to view. Nothing I do, or resolution has always been blurry, fuzzy.

Subject : Slideshow looks bad
Hello guys
I have a project in my Final Cut just about done. I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD. Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it. Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow. Thank you
PSC

Thank you Ross.
The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto. The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT, the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not. The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not. I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536. Please enlightenme. Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

DSO activation failed due to creation of the export datasource failed

hi experts,
i am activating DSO, but failed. Cause is "The creation of the export DataSource failed"
there are many threads in the forum saying restoring the BI myself source system can address it, I tried many times, but failed.
I used program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE to activate an already activated DSO, it returned same error and the original activated DSO turned into inactivated. So I guess there must be something wrong with the setting.
please advise, thanks!
attach error info:
The creation of the export DataSource failed
Message no. RSBM035
Diagnosis
The system could not create DataSource .
System Response
The metadata for a DataSource must be created while the export InfoSouce is being generated. An error occurred at that time.
Procedure
Consult the appropriate developer (function module: RSA1_OLTPSOURCE_GENERATE).
The delta process ODS does not exist
Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects
Error when activating DataStore Object ZFIM_D09

Hi,
As I read the system RESTORE option should resolve your issue. From RSA1 try to restore your source system and try to active your DSO again.

Durgesh.

Creation of export datasource failed

Hi All.
i copied a bussiness content data source object (DSO) and tried to activate it. it is giving error that
"The creation of the export DataSource failed"
Why ??? where m i going wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Mo

Hello,
This is the problem becos the system is unable to create DATAMART for DSO object. The following reasons might be hindering the creation of DSO. Please check whether
1) You have proper authorization to create Datasource/Datamarts.
2) If so then, check whether DATAMART for the BW Self Source System is properly Installed from Business Content. (I hope you are working on the version 3.5 or later.. here we need to manually install Aplication Component related to Datamart from Business Content so that Datamart creation never fails after that)
3) Also check BW Self Source System is properly functioning.
Thanks

Slideshow exported to pdf: jagged lines

Although this issue has been brought up before in this forum, it has never been properly answered or resolved. Therefore, I will be pretty precise about the procedure in the hope that knowledgeable people will take a closer look at the issue.
For test purposes on this forum, I make a "slideshow" in LR 2.1 MacBook Pro using one single 10Mpx RAW image that has been pre-rendered 1:1 in Library. For this demonstration, the slideshow has no borders, no text, and 0 pixel margins in layout.
First, I play the slideshow i LR 2.1 so it shows full screen on my 1920x1200 SpectraView monitor, then, to make you see the result, I do a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it.
The following image is the relevant detail of the full-screen LR image, namely a car (a very nice beautiful good-looking car, since it happens to be MY car:-)
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slideLR.jpg)
Then, in LR 2.1, I export to pdf, choosing Screen as resolution, which in my case is 1920x1200, at 100% quality, 'automatically show full screen'. Then I open the pdf in Acrobat 8.1.2, which shows it in full screen on my 1920x1200 monitor. Since the monitor matches the chosen resolution, the result SHOULD be at least as good as the way LR "plays" the slideshow, but preferably with some suitable amount of output sharpening.
However, the car in the image now has very ugly jagged lines. To make you see the result, I do again a screen shot and then crop the relevant detail from the image, then 'Save for web' jpg to make it web friendly so you can easily see it. (This jpg sRGB procedure has not affected the visual result of the artifacts in any relevant way.)
The following image is the relevant detail of the pdf-exported full-screen image, namely the car:
(http://tmp.bragit.com/slidePDF.jpg)
It should be pretty obvious that the result is unacceptable. It is not primarily sharpening that causes the jagged behavior, it looks more like a very bad resampling. Many people seem to have reported the same thing, so I wonder how come this hasn't been addressed at all in the last few versions of LR? Or do you really have a workaround?
PS: increasing resolution further (to for instance 3000x2000 pixels) on export does NOT solve the problem; it only makes the artifact somewhat smaller.

As to why I export pdf slideshows: there are three reasons and usages for this:
1. Making relatively small (eg. 900x1440) slideshows to be sent over email to people. For about a year I have noticed the quality is lousy, but I first thought it was because LR did a much too strong sharpening on export, but much later I came to realize that the problem has a much more severe origin. I took for granted that Adobe was trying to do something about it, but obviously not.
2. I can merge several pdf slideshows into one slideshow, so that I can have an Intro Screen at the start of each new "event", where each "event" may be only a few slides.
3. The native quality of slideshows as shown by LightRoom is lousy in deep shadows, just as bad as in the Library module, despite it has been rendered 1:1. It is ONLY in the Develop module that shadows are rendered decently, or on export to jpg, or export to a pdf slideshow (but the latter has other problems as I have shown above). So, to make the shadows better, and to avoid various problems with the Slideshow module (such as starting or stopping on the wrong image), I often export to pdf. In addition, color management can behave differently when displaying the show on a separate monitor or projector, where LR and Acrobat sometimes differ, especially on Plasma screens.
I have discussed the issue of bad shadow rendering before in this forum (long ago), and Jao thought it was due to a corrupt monitor profile, or at least an improper rendering intent, but I don't think so, and I showed screen shots so that everyone could see the effect. Some people only saw an almost black image, but that is because their monitor is bad. I have a very good monitor (SpectraView) that shows almost the entire Adobe RGB, and the profiling makes me able to see colors all the way down into the deepest shadows. Whenever color management is not working as it should, I see that immediately. It is in those shadows that the Library and Slideshow modules do a very bad job. Maybe the reason is that the previews are based on jpg, and jpg itself is extremely bad in shadows, usually causing severe posterizations.

Slideshow Export over QuickTime didn't work

Hi,
today i try after a long time (and first time with iPhoto 8) an export over QuickTime. But the first time ever in my iPhoto history i have a big problem who i can't fix and i didn't found any informations here what i can do.
So... If i create an new album as a slideshow, i can put a lot of images who i like in it. But if o try to export this stuff, it's doesn't work. A short time before the export are finished, iPhoto stop the process without an message and suggest me, that all looks fine. But if i try to locate the file on my Picture/iPhoto Slideshow folder, i see nothing. The QuickTime file is missing.
Than i read, that i can try to export/share the Slideshow with iDVD. I try this, and oh man... I got an QuickTime file in my folder, but iDVD say it's not a movie file.
So i try it again to export another slideshow (my final one) to iDVD to got an QuickTime file but now i see nothing again in the folder. After my second try i got the message, that i didn't have enough space on my HD. The info was right. From 7 GB of free space on my internal HD a few minutes ago i have now only 500 MB free... Where all the space is gone?
I quit iPhoto and got my space back, thanks... But the export still doesn't work really good.
Hey, it's nice to watch pics in iPhoto, but it will be also nice to share some pics as a special slideshow outside from iPhoto.
If anyone have an idea what i can do?
Oh, by the way... After my first steps i try to install iPhoto completely new and i removed all external plugins... But nothing works better.

It could be an issue of a file or folder inside the iPhoto application having it's access turned off to you somehow. It's happened before with certain buttons not showing or working.
Open the application, select, Control-click and select "show package contents". Then look for any item that has a red circle with a "-" in it attached to it. If you do that means you don't have access. Select it and bring up the Info window (Command-I) to change access. If that doesn't work you might have to reinstall the application from the installation disk that came with your Mac or from the iLife disks (whichever is appropriate).

"Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:

"Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:
I am moving from Bridge CS5 to CS6 and have a very large number of 100% Previews in my CS5 cache. The idea of regenerating all these 100% Previews in CS6 is NOT amusing. It is amazing that there is not a simple import function for this task as a way to make the software upgrade more "seamless"… but apparently there is not.
I have read the Adobe documents:
    "Bridge Help / Manage the cache | Adobe Bridge CS4, CS5"
    "Creative Suite / Work with the Adobe Bridge cache"
Based on these documents, in Bridge CS5 I used the export function in
Tools>Cache>Build and Export Cache…
    with "Build 100% Previews" checked
    and "Export Cache To Folders" checked.
Unfortunately, the "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews to the target directory. They should appear in the target directory as hidden files in the format xxxxx.NEF.JPG. Yes, I do know how to view hidden files in both the Finder and in Bridge.
In Bridge CS5 I tried Purging and rebuilding the Cache for the target directory with no luck.
I tried running "Build and Export Cache" in Bridge CS6…. still no hidden Preview files in the target directory.
My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Preferences:
    "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" is checked
    "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" is checked
My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation:
    "Generate 100% Previews" is checked
Using OS X 10.6.8
Anyone have a suggestion?????

Bridge is the only piece of software I have used, which incorporates a database, where new versions do not provide for importing the objects of the older version. Very strange.
That is a very mildly conclusion but unfortunately until the cache strategy for Bridge is finally sorted out this problem will exist.
Now I have to confess that I can't use the 'Auto export cache when possible' for several versions now due to a rare problem that after the first time usage without problem created export cache almost every second time generates a warning message that due to failure it needs to replace the Cache T file, hence I deselected this option permanently.
I would think that if you have those already cached and exported files for 100 % preview in the dedicated folders it would read those files and add it to the database and central cache file when having pointed Bridge to that folder, but I'm far from sure about that.
Also after rereading your first post you state to expect the build and export cache to build also hidden files with the two extensions from original filetype followed by .jpg from cache in the folder itself (target directory)? Here I'm a bit lost. The mentioned double extension files only appear in the central cache folder and are visible but buried in the subfolders for each quality in the central cache file at user library (default) or custom set location in Bridge prefs.
The exported cache to folder are hidden files and as long as I can remember that where 2 files already in the File browser (forgot the extension they used for this) and currently .BridgeCache (very small, few KB) and the for me problematic .BridgeCacheT file that can grow very large and has about the same size as the subfolder generated under full in the central cache.
I can see the content of the central cache without problem including the double extensions and previews of the files as thumbs in the Finder, jet with option to show hidden files I can see the CacheT file but only as a blank document icon and I can't find an application on my system to open this file to reveal its content.
Just tried it on a folder with small sized files and having set preview quality to HQ and 100 % preview (checkerboard icon in Path Bar) and then used the option from menu tools to build and export cache to folder including 100 %. Both subfolder in Central Cache and about same sized hidden CacheT file where generated without problems and the full preview was instantly on demand using magnifier. (but all this without the option in prefs to auto export to folder)
So to me it seems (if I understand everything correctly) that either the existing exported files from CS5 do cause the problem or your setup of CS6 is not working correctly.
Are we still on the same track or am I completely lost?

Database automatic export keeps failing after running for about 24h

Hi,
We have a Sql azure database that is not that big in size (+-4.5 GB) but does have a reasonably large schema (+-12700 tables) Until recently (01 august) we had a daily export scheduled of the database to use as backup. However since the first of
this month, we get daily mails that the export has failed. No other indication is given as to why.
We did notice that the time it took to take the backup increases a lot over time. the time it took to take the export has gone up in one month from 13h to 19h, while the data size of the bacpac file has increased from 647MB to 727MB. has anyone encountered
a situation like this before? My only guess is that the export takes to long to take.
Are there any other options to take a backup? We never needed a backup up until this point, but we don't want to wait with addressing this issue until we actually need it...
best regards,
Wim

Missing metadata after slideshow export

I love to show some metadata - like a description - within exportet JPGs. That way they are visible on any device used to present the pictures. As far as I found out this is only possible by doing a slideshow export (watermarks unfortunately can not pull information out of the metadata fields). But all the exported JPGs are missing all metadata, so I can not even sort them automatically later in other software solutions.
Any idea how I could both show the description field within/under the picture and do not loose all metadata information within the exported files?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Looks like you cannot have both metadata in EXIF and metadata as text overlays on the image, without using a third-party plugin.

Backups are failing.

Hi Gurus,
We are taking the backup of Essbase application files like .tct, .pag, .ind, .esm, .db. .dbb files, we are facing some issue with the backups from last few days like .esm, .tct, .pag and .ind files are failing while exporting them using windows NT batch. With an error message as these files are used by some other process. where as i am checking in applicaion event logs i found no process are running at that time..
please let me know what are the process(like dataloading, running calculations) will restrict these files to export.
Thanks in advance.

"The export operation failed because it ran out of memory"

I'm trying to export from Flash CS5 to an mov.
Project is in custom size (874 x 480) but when saved to SWF it's not really
that big (15mb). So I'm a little confused.
Anyone encountered this error message?
This is quite new to me.
I've got 2 HD on my mac with each having at least 2Tb available each,
so don't think its that.
Memory is 8GB and I got nothing running except the Flash CS5.
Need some help my friends. Client

Not sure if your problem has been solved. Flash is flat broken on this. I am using CS6, same problem, same headache. Adobe should be ashamed for not fixing this issue. Someone even suggest to use third party screen capture tool like Camtasia? Why don't you just remove the Export from your Flash menu all together if anything beyong 30 seconds of video export would fail?
In the meantime, Try download Swivel from cnet. The app will happily convert your SWF to anyformat you like. Both Mac and Windows version are available. This was one of the best life saver I ever downloaded from cnet.

HELP! FLASH CS6 "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory"

Hey guys, really need your help on this one. I can't seem to export my flash animation video. It kept failing and prompting that "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory"
Anyone knows a solution to this. It will be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
It totally depends on what's the content you are trying to export. The reason is as simple as it says. The content might be really huge that it ran out of memory. Any info you can provide on the kind of stuff you have in the file?

Hello. Thanks for the inputs on CONSISTENT option. There are pre-laid change mgmt processes in every organisation which needs to be maintained/taken in account before such changes are made, and that too, with client approvals, etc. Since it was not a feasible option to get EXPDP or RMAN implemented at this point, so was this question raised.
There is a small issue, however, if we use CONSISTENT=N. Below is an extract from asktom.oracle.com:
>
imagine if you started an export at 9am of the EMP and DEPT tables.
EMP started exporting at 9am and DEPT at 9:15am.
Now, the EMP data would be "as of 9am", but the DEPT data would be as of 9:15am. What if
you import that data now -- will it work? maybe, maybe not -- perhaps at 9:10am, someone
fired the last employee in department 50 and deleted department 50. Your EMP export
would have them in this deptno, your DEPT export would not have this deptno. The import
would fail.
If you use consistent=y, Oracle will export all of the data "as of 9am", so deptno=50
will be included in all tables and the import will succeed.

That's one of the risks involved.
Is there any other solution we can have in place for this issue? Thanks.

ODS activation error( The creation of the export DataSource failed

Hi Friends,
i have a problem activating the ODS. after defining the ODS, when i try to activate the following error is occured
1.The creation of the export DataSource failed
2.RFC connection to source system BWD100 is damaged ==> no Metadata upload
3.Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Seems that there are one or more characteristics in the ODS for which one or more attributes may be new or inactive.
Please see SAP Note 597326..Pasting the content below..Solution steps are also given..
Symptom
When you activate or transport ODS objects, the following errors appear in the log:
"The creation of the export DataSource failed". Message number RSBM 035
"Error &1 in function module &2". Message number RSBM 006
"Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects". Message number RSDODSO 169
"Error when activating the ODS object &1". Message number RSDODSO 168
Other terms
RSBM 035, RSBM 006, RSDODSO 169, RSDODSO 168
Reason and Prerequisites
A characteristic involved is active but it is using new or inactive attributes.
Characteristics involved are all characteristics used in the ODS object.
Solution
Check all characteristics involved as described in the following:
Check the Compounding and Attributes tabs in the characteristics maintenance.
All characteristics here must be active. This is displayed by a green icon.
If this is not the case for a characteristic involved (a gray icon is displayed on one of the two tabs), activate the characteristic involved. This also activates the inactive dependent characteristics.
After you have checked and repaired all the characteristics involved as described above, the loading/maintenance of master data should work again.
