P: Export slideshows as videos fails to complete

[Kai Chung33108495c6mz]

I am so SAD!  I have bought a new Macbook M4 Max

However, Lightroom CC lastest version, cant EXPORT slideshows as videos!

the progress bar is stopped at nearly 10% position.

No matter if I wait several hours it won't move any progress = I Cant export slideshow as Video

I always used this function, for a few years, day by days

I uninstalled the LR and tried reinstalling it, but it still failed.

Does anybody have the same issue?

I wonder if it is a problem related to M4 chips. Please kindly help and fix please!

There are a fair number of reports about exporting slideshows failing in LR 14 on Mac.

There are a fair number of reports here of slideshow export failing in LR 14 on Mac. Unfortunately, the Slideshow module (like Map, Book, and Web) is no longer well-supported by Adobe. So your best option, at least in the short term and likely in the long term, is to use a third-party app for creating slideshows.

I am having very similar issues with a similar setup (MacBook Pro with current versions of all software). Shorter tests work fine but bigger slideshows cause LR to choke and hang. Also making the Finder have issues where I'm getting beachballs.

Having the very same issue. Tried lots of stuff.  MacBook Pro M4Pro 48GB memory.  Super dissapointed.  This should have been easy, and not a time sync.

Just updated to Lightroom Classic v 15.0 and the updates mentioned upgrading the enhanced capability to export Slideshows in 4K.  Optimistically I tried exporting my slideshow, but alas, the same result - a hung process which fails to complete after more than 12 hours.  Very disappointed.

Still waiting for a solution to the problem introduced by a software upgrade 12 months ago.

why the hell.... now it is version 15.0!

but I and so many people under my messages, still cannot export the photo sliddeshow video.

the progress bar still stucks on around 5-10%

can Adobe fix this asap?

I wonder how they can let this stupid problem exist for such a long time, nearly a one whole year!!!

It's been more than a year!!!  They charge me more, yet still don't fix major bugs.

I've surfaced this again with the Classic engineering team. For those of you who still see this issue on LrC 15.0 the team is requesting diagnostic logs. 

1. Restart Lightroom
2. Attempt to export a Slideshow as a video
3. Upon Failure, generate a log
   
   For LrClassic:
4. Go to Preferences
5. Lightroom Sync tab
6. Hold down [Alt/Opt]
7. Click [Generate Diagnostic Log]
8. When you have the diagnostic log, post it to a sharing service (Dropbox or similar) and then share the link with us. 

Thanks!

Mac Studio M1, MacOS Tahoe.  LRC 15 - fails every time on Export of slideshow. No different than previous version, stalls at exact same point.
