Still seeing this bug where a few photos and I cannot discern a pattern will not export correctly show up all black.  This persists in Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1    Here are screen captures showing the problem.  This is a Sony RAW which is 60M as .ARW and 127M as a denoised .DNG so I cannot attach those files.

I've seen several posts here regards to the same problem. In several cases the resetting of the Lightroom preferences has been helped.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this isn't help you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If this also doesn't help we need more informations about your environment. Please provide also a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

This is resolved for me at the current level 

Adobe Lightroom Classic

14.4 Release Camera Raw 17.4

Build [202506051112-5918896a]

 

So for anyone else encountering the problem in addition to the post from AxelMatt above I would strongly suggest install the latest updates as your problem may simply be resolved by an updated build released through Adobe's normal process.

Can you share one of these photos that exports black on DropBox or similar? Please provide us with the link.
