Question

Lightroom Classic crashes or freezes at ~15% when exporting slideshows

This problem hasn't been resolved for years. Can anyone help me? My patience with Adobe is running out. It seems like a very serious problem. Every time I launch export, Lightroom Classic gets stuck at about 15%.

    Hi ​@francescor34253227 

     

    Sorry you're running into this. Let’s try to narrow it down. Could you provide a few more details?

    • System Info from Lightroom's Help Menu (Help > System Info > Copy, Paste it here)

    • Whether the slideshow uses video clips or only photos.

    • The export format and resolution you're choosing.

    • Whether this happens with all slideshows or just one specific catalog/project.

    Also, please let us know whether you’ve tried exporting a very small test slideshow (2–3 images) and whether it still stops around 15%. These details will help us understand the issue and help you accordingly. 

     

    Regards,

    Srishti
