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.

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.

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.

Lightroom Exporting Issue

Hi everyone, sorry if this is repetitive; I hadn't seen it posted.
I'm a new Lightroom user and am having trouble exporting the photos that I've made my edits/adjustments to. I follow the steps as outlined in various tutorials on exporting, but after Lightroom indicates that the export was completed, the file that I exported is nowhere to be found in Explorer; even if I have Lightroom open Explorer after the export, the image is not there. I'm exporting them as JPEG files, if that matters.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Edit: Just to expand on the error I"m getting with Lightroom, here's what I'm talking about. It appears to be trying to open a catalog as the program opens and causes the program to crash. I tried to restore to a previous version of the program, or run in compatibility mode, but it's not working. Thoughts?

If you still encounter this problem (LR won't start), you have to delete your preferences file and then start LR by double-clicking the catalog file (the *.lrcat file). You can find the location and name of the LR preferences file here.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Dynamic Link Media Server Error on Video Export CS6

Hello,
Whenever I atempt to render video or export a photoshop file as a video I get the following error:
dynamiclinkmediaserver has encountered an error
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/DynamicLinkMediaServer1/main/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Foundat ion/Make/Mac/../../Src/DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]
Continue Button.
Hitting continue does nothing and the application just hangs on the video export progress bar.
I've attempted to export several types of PSD files to video, some old, some new (made in CS6) and I always get this error. I have reset Photoshops preferences. I have uninstalled the entire CS6 suite and reinstalled it.
On a whim I decided to reinstall PS CS5 and try to export from there. Worked like a charm. Was able to export video from my PSDs like before.
I am currently running:
Creative Suite CS6 Master Collection
My hardware is:
Model Name:          iMac
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Memory:          8 GB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
Suggestions?

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

Why are my photos desaturated when I export out of Lightroom 5 and editing with VSCO Film filters?

I have been excited working with VSCO Film presets, however when I apply them and go to export out of Lightroom 5 on my Windows 8 computer, my images are previewing very desaturated and muted in color. Some images are below. I thought it was a Color SPace issue, but when exported as sRGB as well as in its original space of Adobe RGB1998 it is still desaturated. Any help?? In Lightroom the colors are right, but my preview application is different.
Thank you!

Screenshot of Lightroom preview on Left and Pictures preview on the Right.

Hi ssprengel,
Here's some clarification:
Here's a screenshot of my raw image in lightroom without any presets:
Here is a screenshot of my raw image with the presets (the way I want it to look upon export):
Here is a of the jpeg exported out of LR:
(on my screen the jpg looks like what it should when I attach it, but I know once I post this it will not look like it. That's something I noticed when I posted my question previously)
I took you suggestion and re-imported the sRGB exported JPEG and it looks like how it is supposed to be with the correct saturation. Here's a screenshot of the jpeg reimported.
Here is a screenshot comparing the LR5 preview to the Photos preview on Windows 8. The LR5 (left) is more saturated, the correct way I want it:
I cannot use Windows Photo Viewer because this is how my photos look like in it:
Hope this all makes sense! Thank you so much in advance!

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.

Question rgd Jeffrey's Export-to-Flickr Lightroom Plugin

Hi.
I stumbled across this plug-in in Scott Kelby's LR2 book, thought it was a cool feature, and was about to install it when I came across this:
"By authorizing this link, you'll allow Jeffrey's Export-to-Flickr Lightroom Plugin to:
Access your Flickr account (including private content)
Upload, Edit, and Replace photos and videos in your account
Interact with other members' photos and videos (comment, add notes, favorite)
Delete photos and videos from your account"
Is this really so? By adding this plugging I will give this Jeffrey access to delete my Flickr photos?
I'd really like to know before installing this thing.
Thanks in advance,
ole k

I guess I was a bit confused by reading: "By authorizing this link, you'll allow Jeffrey's Export-to-Flickr Lightroom Plugin to: . . . . .
Delete photos and videos from your account", as if the plug-in sort of would have a life on its own and start deleting my files. Which, I see now, was not the case. See also my other two replies to this thread.
As for Flickr to delete (among other things) my files, I'm really not that worried, as I am an amateur with little or nothing to lose. It was the idea of having this 3-part program interfering with my photos which scared me off a bit, along with the fact that I only yesterday encounterd another LR plugin - from Adobes/Scott Kelbys site, which included two trojans. But it all seems sorted out now.
Thanks,
ole k

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

Exporting ISSUES! Help

I am a relatively new user to lightroom. I haven't had any exporting issues until today. I am attempting to export a photo/photos to a specific folder with a custom name. When I do this it exports the WHOLE library and NOT the edited photo. What am I doing wrong??

Lightroom usually exports all images that are highlighted. If you only want to export one image then make sure it is the only image that is highlighted.

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.
