[Leica] Solved - Lighroom 6 export problem

[Aram Langhans]

The other day I posted the below.  I found the solution.   My laptop and my desktop all use the Intel HD video chip on the MB.  I had also tried 6.3 on my wife’s laptop, which is identical to mine.  That really pointed me to the video chipset.  I also noted that those who responded to me were not using an Intel chipset.  I checked and my drivers were all up to date, so I decided to add a dedicated video card to my desktop.  Can’t do that on the laptop.  I chose a Radeon chipset and when I installed it yesterday, I got a different error in LR.

It said "Sequencer Defunct" when I tried to go to the Slideshow module.  I found the fix for that today:

Hopefully Adobe will fix this problem with  6.4 and I will be able to use my laptop again to export video.  I have backed it up to 6.1.1 so it does work, but my desktop is fine now with 6.3.

I just had a thought.  I will try this fix on the laptop to see if that does anything.  Can't hurt.

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem since upgrading to either 6.2.1 or 6.3. I am trying to export a slideshow as a video.  I have done this many times in older versions all the way up to 6.1.1.  It works well.  When I upgraded to 6.2.1, I can no longer do this.  It gets perhaps 10% through the process and then LR just shuts itself down.  Bye bye.  It does not matter how long the video is, or what resolution I am using.  I posted a message on the Adobe forum, and have tried all they suggested, like resetting the preferences, unchecking the graphics processor option, running as an administrator and maybe a few others.  Nada.  I backed up to 6.1.1 and all was well again.  When 6.3 came out I gave that a try to see if the problem was fixed.   Nope.  Still shuts down.

 

So I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  Perhaps you have never tried to export a video slide show.  I you have not, perhaps you are curious enough to see if you can with your version of LR.  Just choose a few dozen photos in a small directory or in the quick collection and give it a try.  I am dying to find out if I am an isolated case or if they introduced another “feature” when they went to 6.2.1 or 6.3.

 

I am using the stand alone version in Windows 10 platform.

 

Thanks in advance.
