Lightroom Classic: Slideshow Export Hangs

Resetting preferences solved this problem for me. Thank you so much!!

After I rest mine it seemed to work, but then stopped working again, so annoying

Preference reset failed for me as well.

Zoom to Fill Frame is never checked on mine, so it's not causing the issue, thank anyway

Same here. This is neither the cause nor the solution.

I've just tried a 1080p when exporting a folder as catalogue and it dos nothing, so I quit and reopen the and it worked. How weird!!

Pls try to export a video from a slide show and let su know

So.... after my last successful export (following the quit and re-open mentioned above) I still have Lightroom open and have tried to export another 1080p video slideshow using the same images as the last successful export and ..............it ..................just......................hangs.



EPIC FAIL!!

........but if I close and re-open AGAIN, hey presto.....



IT WORKS!!

#PullingHairOut

Wait to see the end. But Adobe has to fix the bug!

I will keep an eye on it but it's deffo moving.

How can we contact adobe to let hem know about this and make them fix it?

Mine was stopped at the same level of completition

Has it finished?

This is the right place to report problems to Adobe. Try it again and when it hangs (give it time) then do NOT restart LR. Go to menu Help> System Info and Copy & Paste the following entries.

not yet 



it does seem very slow but it is still moving

Mine always stops at 10% of the process, all jpg are created (in cache) .

still going......



it is sooo slow, but still going......

This is a good time to 'Copy' your System Info as outlined above to check on LR memory usage. It will not interfere with the Slideshow task.

It works too!!

The only thing that jumps out is: Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 24,812.8 MB (24.8 GB)

How many image files are you using in the slideshow and what is the available space on your system drive?

892 images and the drive is a 2tb fusion with 128gb ssd portion

 

My problem is not solved: I tried again with 1 pictures, but LR hangs always at the same point:

Matt Boadlesaid 892 images and the drive is a 2tb fusion with 128gb ssd portion

That is a long slideshow video! LR rendering video speeds are .5x to 2x. If your Slide Length + Crossfade is 7.5 sec. then your slideshow duration is 892 x 7.5 sec = 6,690 sec. = 111.5 min. = 1 hr. and 51.5 min. With a typical 1x processor rendering speed it's going to take about two hours or more to complete.

Dario Piovera saidMy problem is not solved: I tried again with 1 pictures, but LR hangs always at the same point:

You need to select at least two (2) image files to create a LR Slideshow video. Please close all applications and shut down and restart your system. Open LR, select two image files, and then rebuild 1:1 Previews as I outlined in my previous post. Try again. If that works try with about 50 image files selected.

Each video is a 1h5m video with 8 music tracks. I use the fit to music option so it’s always the same length no matter how many photos we use. ‘Normally’ it does export quicker than the mamouth 3 hours or so it took last night.

As suggest I tried with 2 pictures with 1:1 preview but again it hung!

Try using the Adobe provide template named 'Simple' located in the 'Template Browser' panel on the left side of the screen. Do NOT change any of the settings.

I have spent the last 12 hours trying everything to export a slideshow. It used to be so easy....I am just about ready to try a sledge hammer. Please help!

I really can't believe that Adobe really don't care about this Slideshow issue!!

I finally gave up and exported images only to Windows Media Player and made a slideshow that way... too bad. It's ridiculous that Lightroom is now a monthly subscription anyway and then 1/2 the time things don't even work. Can anyone out there recommend any other photo editing software? I'm ready to jump ship....
Thanks in advance.

THANK YOU !  

After trying many scenarios as well, I tried your tip.

I changed my timing from 3,0 sec to 2,9 and the slideshow exported

 

Many thanks, Marcin.

The first approach (exporting to JPEG) is the only one that has worked in my case. Absolutely exhausted of trying one and another fix. 

After making all the development process in your travel shots, the main point is to share your work with your family in a video. It's a shame that Adobe had not sort out such an old problem. Really discouraging.
