Never had an issue 'til today, but Lr Classic won't batch export anymore. It will export a sequence of one up to six. But seven or more it will not export. I have an M2 Ultra Mac Studio. I'm exporting from an external hard drive location to a desktop folder (as I always do). Settings are same. The progress bar in the upper left hand corner of the app will make it to about seven images, and then it will pinwheel. I can't export six images at a time I'll be here all day. Please help!

Please update to 14.0.1, which contains a fix for this issue.

I have the same problem. LR classic not exporting. 

Solution i made to not loose my edits.

1. Converted all to DNG to keep edits in photo file not in LR library. 

2. Copy folder and change name in finder and imported to LR as any new folder with pictures. 

3. Export is working

 

Downside is that when you import edited photos again to LR you loose before / after view becouse you imported already edited photo so for program it looks like "before". I can live with that. Hope it was one time story 🙂

@Oscar Mauricio Vargas: "I have 49 dng pictures and not able to export batches of more than 5 or 6"

 

It's very possible one of the photos you're trying to export is missing or corrupted.  Try selecting groups of 5 photos at a time to see if there are one or more photos consistently causing the problem. If you identify such a photo, open it in Develop -- do you get an error message?

 

Prior to version 13, LR would give you a clear error message about the problem photo and proceed with the rest of the export. But in LR 13, export will just hang, and inexplicably Adobe doesn't consider that a bug:

Let us know whether you can find a corrupted photo.
