One of my main complaints with Lightroom 4 is that I can't seem to export video at a custom resolution or bitrate (like dvd size for instance). Am I missing something, or is this really not possible? I hate having to use Handbrake to archive my videos - I wish I could just do it all in Lightroom. I'm using Lightroom 4.3
View 7 RepliesI frequently export pictures from LR-5 to Phanfare. Up until today this process has gone smoothly. Now, suddenly, the file sizes are small, but with their develop adjustments applied. I use Chrome on an iMAC. Everything is up-to-date. It would appear that the exporter is dipping into the 1:1 previews. If so, how can it be rerouted to the proper source?

I try to share my video with MP4 format, and I am using custom settings but user defined resolution is not available.
I am having problems exporting my AVCHD file to my hard drive. The original file works fine in the preview window, but then exports as a very jerky video. The program I am using is VSX4 Ultimate, and there are no more updates available.
The video I am trying to export came from a camcorder SD card and has these properties:
File format: NTSC HDMV
Video Type: H.264 Video
Attributes: 24 bits, 1920 x 1080, 16:9
Data Rate: Variable bit rate (Max 26000 kbps)
Audio type: Dolby Digital Audio
Audio Bit rate: 256 kbps
Here are the project properties:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
My goal is to export the video to my computer and have it look as good as it does in the preview.
Running Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-bit.
For some reason I cannot choose between Video Timeline & Frame Animation in the Timeline window. I do not know why, I've looked in the Timeline panel options, still nothing.
Running a Intel Mac on 10.74 - CS6
I have two video cards running three Dell Monitors.
The ATI 5770 (runs the 24") is on the 16 lane PCI slot and the older Nvidea 8800 GT (running two Dell 19") is on the 8 lane slot.
But photoshop chooses the slower card on the slower lane.
Everytime I want to export pictures it exports every second picture as 0kb.
I've tried to export 100 picture at a time, the same problem occurrs. I've tried only exporting 3 pictures nad most likely atleast 2 of them are 0kb. I've tried all different settings to export the picture. Nothing out of the normal. URL....
The only work around I've found is that I open the image with Edit > In photoshop and then resize and save the image from Photoshop. But that's not the optimal workflow when you have more than 3 pictures. Would be nice to know why this problem comes up and how to fix it. This is really taking me back with publishing my work.
I found several posts about the same issue, but they were all talking about Dropbox being the problem. Well, I'm not exporting my pictures to Dropbox. A normal folder on my SSD HDD.
The album suppliers that I use all require book pages to be uploaded as JPGs. Lightroom 4 only lets me use Blurb (which I don't want to use), or export to PDF.
I realize that I can import the PDF into Photoshop and save them as JPGs, but when I do so, it saves the left side of the page spread as a file and the right side as a file. Most ROES programs from album suppliers require that pagespread be uploaded as one image that encompasses both the left and right side of the page spread.
I realize that I can go through and merge two JPGs together to create a pagespread, but doing so is time consuiming and requires that I resave each JPG an extra time, thereby losing quality. good way to get pagespread JPGs out of the lightroom book module? how to get pagespreads out of a PDF that looks at each side of the pagespread as a separate image?
I just received a Asus laptop with Windows 8 for Christmas. I fixed the flickering in CS6 by changing the Preferences and upgraded to Lightroom 4 as was reccomended for Windows 8 to work out the kinks, but I am still having a huge issue with my colors being understaurated. I've tried exporting as sRGB, AdobeRGB, and ProPhoto. The red tones seem to be effected the most. Increasing the saturation and exporting again does not solve my problem.I don't think it's a monitor problem because it looks great in program. Uploading the pictures online do not change the color, so it's not the program Windows uses to open
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to the photography world and having a bit of trouble when using Lightroom.I have a new Olympus PEN EPL-5 and Lightroom 4.3 running on Windows7.
When I import RAW (.ORF) files they are dark in general, but when export them as JPG they are brighter, similar to what native JPG from the camera looks like. Then if I "correct" the ORF file in Quick Develop or Develop it becomes too light/bright/over-exposed.
Here on the left is the RAW file import with Develop Settings = "none" and to the right is an export to JPG color space "sRGB".Now if I adjust the RAW (.ORF) file in LR I can get it close to the JPG on the right above, but then when I export it, it becomes way too bright
why the RAW Library image is so far off from the exported JPG image?Obviously this "issue" makes using Lightroom very difficult as I can't tell how changes in LR will really turn out once exported.
After many years of exporting jpegs at 300 ppi my Lightroom suddenly only exports at 72 ppi even though the image resolution is still set to 300 ppi. What could be the problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't reproduce this consistently; but I've had this happen many times now.
Product - Lightroom 5 on OS/X 10.8.4.
I select two images in the develop module filmstrip to pick the best one for export, the images are usually stacked in the Library.I use the side by side compare tool (C) to compare the images.I may go back to the develop module to adjust setting on one or both images.
At some point I will unselect the image I don't want to export in the filmstrip, then press Command + Shift + E to export.
LR will sometimes export both images even though only one is selected in the filmstrip.
If I go back to the Library before exporting then LR will only export the selected image.
When using export function my LR4 exports pictures at 0kt every second time.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using LR4 german on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine. No preceeding LR installation (except LR4 beta), but all files have been newly imported after clearing the LR4beta catalog.Option 'Export Lightroom hierarchy' is switched off.
If I assign a keyword then it's ancestor is exported, too even though it has the flag 'Include On Export' unchecked.Example: my keyword hierarchy looks like this (tags in all capitals have flag 'Include On Export' unchecked!
EUROPE
- GERMANY
- - BAVARIA
- - - Munich
Now I assign Munich to a photo - only Munich! the Keyword Tag preview window shows only Munich (option 'will export')but when I sync Metadata to the file, also BAVARIA is written to the file.
This is true for all keywords that are a leaf in the keyword tree. Only the next level ancestor is exported by mistake. I assume this is because unchecking flag 'Include On Export' implicitly unchecks the 'Export Containing Keywords' option, too.
Of course my keyword 'Munich' has the option ''Export Containing Keywords' checked because it it the default setting and this seems to override the 'Include On Export' = SPACE setting of the ancestor keyword which I consider to be an error.It is virtually impossible to change each and every keyword in a large Controlley Vocabulary list.
My rig includes Windows 7, Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3 with i7 2600K, 16GB DDR3 mem, SSD drives, fast Radeon video card.
I'm using Lightroom 4, just upgraded, have this problem: when I export to Folder1> Subfolder 1, it puts the export images in the next up hierarchical folder, i.e. Folder1. I select the folder I want in the Export dialog, and I don't have any subfolders selected or created, but it always sticks the shots in the next folder up the tree, it's happened every time I've exported.
I am using LR4 and have used the adjustment brush for its many uses. 2 Days ago, I discovered that after using the adjustment brush on a RAW file and exporting it to a JPEG, the image looks awful!! its muddy, unpixelated and colors are washed out. Is this a setting that needs to be reset? How can I stop this from happening?
View 3 Replies View RelatedExporting files to hard disk with the original item set for file type. dng file shows up on the exported directory as the cropped / edited photo and there is no sidecar file.
When I click on the history panel for this export panel, it brings the photo up in the non cropped version just as I would wish.
I did do an unclick on "embed fast load data" in preferences and then an update dng preview as the fix for the banding problems when viewing dng files in irfanview and picassa and that worked, but hope it did not create my problem described above.
I'd like to create a video with an awkward resolution: 400x70. I don't see how to do this in VS5. Even when I go to the "Share" option, my custom resolution buttons are greyed out. Is there a way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems trying to set the video resolution on both of my copies of VS Pro X4. The captures I'm using are 16x9, and when I select a thumbnail and play it, the clip first displays as 4x3 in the preview window, then when it starts playing, it goes to 16x9, but when I put the clip in the video track, it displays and plays in 4x3... even after I change the Project Properties to 16x9, it still does the same thing.
I have recently taken some of the same files and created a 16x9 optimized MPEG in the share menu, but for some reason, I'm unable to do it again. I have had problems with my capture device, and haven't used VS Pro X4 for a while, but now I have a new methodology, and am back to working with video, again. Some of the things I did before, are now forgotten... I'm sure the answer is somewhere on this site, but so far, all of my searches and reading have only offered the things I have already done, and so far as I can tell, that doesn't work. At this point, I can't remember if the editing I did before, was displayed in 4x3 or 16x9, but the DVDs I have burned are definitely in 16x9, but the last one was definitely 4x3.
For example, I often export a folder of full-res images, and then go back and do the same images as lo-res with watermarks, that I export to an "email" folder inside the hi-res folder. That way, I email the little ones for clients to peruse, and then send the full-res after they agree to buy. I know I can set up two presets and do them separately, but thought I'd ask.
View 7 Replies View Relatedhow it deals with cropped images. I have the following edited image, cropped to some specific region:
Then, I tell lightroom to edit this image in Photoshop CS4:
However, once it hits photoshop, it has magically gained more image data than I told Lightroom there should be:
Somehow, all the development settings are correct, but the crop has too much data.
I have used X4 for about two years and X6 for the past couple of months. I cannot figure out how the create more rendering options under Share -> Create Video File. For example, if I want to use the MPEG codec but a custom resolution. Often custom is greyed out and not selectable. In free software such as ffmpeg or Virtual Dub I can create video as any resolution, aspect ratio, or codec. VS options seem to be very limited to these prepackaged choices. For example, some people have described moving a .DLL to the Coral folder to get custom codecs under the Create Video -> custom option. I'd rather not have to always render in VS and then recodec in another software.
My biggest challenge is the new Instagram format. It is basically 640x640 webm format. But I can import MPEG h264 without issue. My goal is to setup a 1:1 640x640 profile so I don't always have to game and stretch titles to display properly in the final version.
When I start a new project, it give me no frame rate option, beside what i see in the .cfg folder. How to i set a frame rate of 29 but with a custom resolution size ?

Problem is setting of the best resolution:
-FULL HD is making these horizontal lines (every other pixel line) if something moves in the picture so its not good
- lower camera setting makes the resolution to 1440x1080 which is 4:3 !! that's not the ratio of today (and youtube) and i didn't even realize it because video studio has 16:9 project settings and the ratio of outputted video seems right?
- Compared these: video 4:3, project 16:9, still images from another camera 4:3 -> fail
what do you recommend, is there a way to get full resolution better without those lines or other way to 16:9 ?
2. Also only recent and fast opening player to play those camera raw videos (.mts) is VLC-player. Is there a way to get it open those videos in zoom mode of 50% or 33% and not 100% they goes over my screen every time!
I've run in to a strange problem since the 4.1 upgrade.When displayed in the Library view, images are not appearing correctly. In my case, there is a huge amount more noise in the Library view compared to the Develop view. This is also affecting Exports.

Do you think these settings could be improved?
