Use of Shortcuts in Lightroom

I am a wedding photographer and I find LR very slow and frustrating because it all appears to be mouse driven, rather than using shortcuts. My main bug is not being able to use a shortcut key to access the next photo in Develop after you have manually adjusted a photo. If you use the Ctrl L key and you happened to have adjusted the blacks and the mouse is still over the blacks...it does nothing at all.
Also I am having problems with the memory. After loading up 700 jpegs....adjusting them, and getting up to 500 I keep getting AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURED and LR will not load up any more photos in Develop. I think it is like a scratchpad issue. Has anyone else experienced this and how do you get a round it.

Not he empty FAQ here but at
LR Extras FAQ, under 'Info to start with.

    When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to? 

    It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • AE CS6 bug: Can't use any shortcut that includes the C in it

    A while ago I started having some issues In Illustrator CS6, where I couldn't copy and paste from one document/application to another, the issue later ported itself to AE and not much after that anything including the C key stopped working. For example I can't copy, pre compose or create a camera using shortcuts.
    After a lot of troubleshooting I was able to isolate a preference pane who was causing the Illustrator issue, I removed it and AI went back to normal, I assumed After Effects would be fixed too but unfortunately that's not the case, I still can't use the C key.
    I ran Onyx thoroughly, trashed AE's prefs, removed some recently acquired scripts, removed some login items and trashed those prefs also (I read a thread that mentioned those items could be causing odd behaviors).
    I carefully compared my setup against my laptop, which also has AE CS6 installed and working perfectly, I have the same scripts, the same preferences and the only login items not installed there are the ones that's are grayed out in my imac, so I can't delete them.
    If someone can help with this I'll be very grateful, I'm wasting a lot of time trying to solve this thing and I'm very used to using said shortcuts to increase my workflow.
    Thanks.

    I quit a few other components, a small utility called Shortcut (isn't that ironic?) and another one called MacAppBlocker,
    I still can't pre compose any layers using command-shift-c
    I was able to create a camera using command-shift-alt-c, after several tries, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
    I was being able to copy and paste across different programs and layers all sorts of objects, UNTIL  I opened Illustrator and copied a path, then I pasted it into a solid in AE.
    The next time I tried to copy something else, my clipboard got stuck with the path from Illustrator, EVEN inside illustrator.
    Greg, as you can see from this thread:

    This is an aknowledged bug from Illustrator, but as I have discovered in the past few days it's affecting everything systemwise, what are the possibilities that the only shortcuts that are failing are those that contain the combination of command-c? And like I said, it starts missbehaving right after I copy a path in Illustrator, not before.
    Alright, after some further testing, here's what I found:
    I removed (completely deleted) from my computer a small piece of software called WD Quickview, right after I was able to precomp and create cameras in AE.
    I still have the copy/paste issue from Illustrator, right after I copy a path, the clipboard goes haywire system wide.
    The strange thing is that, such program, WD Quickview has been installed on my computer for over a year now and never had any trouble with it, moreover, I'm not entirely sure how am I going to be able to get into the drive that uses that program (WD force-install that thing with their new drives that come with a new unerasable firmware).
    Coincidentally, I haven't plug the drive at all this week, so perhaps the program went crazy when it couldn't find the drive?

    I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays.  I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen.  When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background.  i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on.  Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either.  Any input would be welcome.

    I dont understand anything you said in your post.
    Do you have a specific question about video production?
    The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
    Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

  • Is there a way to use a shortcut value in the page's header template ?

    Hello everybody,
    we would like to create a page template with centralized information in the database. I tried to use the shortcuts inside the page template, but it doesn't seems it's working, or I'm not using it correctly.
    The only way I was able to use it is by using javascript to instanciate some properties, But I don't like that idea because it means I must edit all the page using that script. I simply want to change the page template and the changes be applied to all the page who are using that template.
    Here is what I want to do :
    <img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt='"MY_SHORTCUT"' />
    IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)
    Thank you

    Shortcuts are not available for use in page templates. This is something of a pain.

    IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)The closest equivalent to shortcuts in this case is probably an application item. Set the value using an application computation or process and reference it in the page template using static substitution syntax:
    <a href="http://myserver.com/htmldb/f?p=100:1:415680519803489:::::" title="&APP_ITEM."> <img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt="&APP_ITEM." /> </a>Not sure that it's necessarily a good idea to use the same value for link <tt>title</tt> and image <tt>alt</tt> text in this case though. What value(s) will be used?

    please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

    What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
    It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
    You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
    After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
    Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
    Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
    Set it for All Applications
    Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
    Make Upper Case
    Make Lower Case
    Capitalize
    Give them a shortcut.

    Your camera will only apply lens correction (if switched on) to JPEGs, not to RAW files. Clearly you do not want to apply it twice.

  • Why I can't used any shortcut  in word?

    Now I can't used any shortcut in word, even though I opened another word file also can't used any shortcut.
    But I still can used the shortcut for web side such as "command+C" but if i need to paste in work can't used "command+V"
    Also that file send to another computer the shortcut can work again. Why......

    Hello Vicki,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

  • Need help using WEB module in Lightroom 2 for .mac/mobile me accounts

    Hello,
    I need help in finding the Server path information for Lightroom 2.  I am trying to use the Web module of Lightroom and build a website and instead of going through another hosting service, I want to use my Mobile ME account, can't I do that?
    I have the user name and password obviously but what is the server path, protocol, path?
    Help please!
    Thanks

    For those Mac Users using iWeb, MobileMe, and Lightroom 2, here are step-by-step instructions on how to create a web gallery in Lightroom, upload the gallery to MobileMe, and finally, how to link the uploaded files to the wesite you created in iWeb.
    1. In the Lightroom Library module, create a collection of photos you want to display in your web gallery.  For illustration purposes, we will call your collection Sunsets.  Once created, it will be listed under Collections in the left panel of Lightroom.
    2. Switch to the Lightroom Web module and select the Sunsets collection (from the panel on the left of the screen.)
    3. Chose whichever template you like (from the list of Templates in the left panel).
    4. Fine tune the appearance of the gallery using the controls in the right hand panel of Lightroom 2.
    5. When you are satisfied with the gallery’s appearance, use your keyboard to type Command-S.  That will save your template settings (give it a unique name when saving).
    6. Open up Finder on your Mac.  Inside your username folder, create a new folder… I'll call it Web Files.  (You can choose any name you like, and locate the file anywhere on your Mac HD.)  You have just created the folder username/Web Files.
    7. Back in the Lightroom Web module, chose Export, at the bottom of the right panel, and export your gallery to the folder you just made (e.g. export to username/Web Files).  By doing so, you will have created /username/Web Files/Sunsets.
    8. Once again open Finder on your Mac.  Go to /username/Web Files/Sunsets and you will see 3 files in the Sunsets folder: bin, index.html, and resources.
    9. Open a second Finder window and in it, click on your iDisk icon.  You will soon see all of the files on your iDisk.
    10. In iDisk, click on the folder called /Web.  You will now see the /Sites folder inside the /Web folder.  I.e., /Web/Sites.
    11. Drag the Sunsets file from your Mac HD to the /Sites folder on your iDisk.  E.g, drag Sunsets from /username/Web Files/Sunsets on your Mac HD to the /Sites folder in iDisk /Web/Sites.  The Sunsets folder (and the three files it contains) will now upload to your iDisk on MobileMe.
    12. Open iWeb on your Mac. Add a new page to your website.  Call it “Galleries,” or anything you like. (You can also use an existing page if you wish.)
    13.  On that “Galleries” web page (or on an existing web page), create a picture icon, or a word, or a symbol, or anything else that you will activate as a hyperlink to your iDisk web files - specifically, you will link it to the Sunsets folder you just uploaded to iDisk.
    14. Activate the hyperlink in iWeb’s Inspector.  In the URL box, type:
    http://web.me.com/username/Sunsets  (Don’t forget to substitute your name for “username” and the name of your gallery for “Sunsets.”)
    15. Save your website in iWeb, and then publish your site.
    You will NOT see your gallery in iWeb – you will see only the link to the gallery that you uploaded to iDisk..  To view your gallery, either make hyperlinks active, using the Inspector in iWeb and click on he link to the gallery, or visit your website on the internet.  If you want to edit your gallery, you will have to do that in Lightroom… then repeat steps 7 – 11.  You cannot edit your gallery in iWeb, but you can use iWeb to change the appearance of the link to your gallery, or to change it’s location within your website.

  • FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

    You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

    I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
    Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
    I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
    Curiouser and curiouser...

  • Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6

    Just wrote a new blog post about Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.
    It's in the FAQ now, as well.
    Check it out.

    Good question.  If/when it does it again, I'll check.  However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5.  That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout. 
    Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations.   About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky. 
    In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now.  Thanks
