Question

Lightroom 4 Video- How do I Export to "mov" and maintain the applied presets

How do I export video clips with my presets applied to them, in the original file format so I may compress them to ProRes.  Whenever I select original, I get the original file.  Not the original file format with the presets applied.

    Actually after long experimentation I have found out that if you FLAG your clip it will export with trims, modifications, in and out points etc. into .mov if you set export as original. Without the flag clip will be exported without any changes applied to it.

    So in short - flag your clips before exporting.

    ...later

    I finally gave up on eidting the video in LR and used Photoshop CS6 instead.

    It's most definitely a bug or just unwanted/unexpected behaviour of the software.

    I don't think there's any mention of a bug fix in the lastest LR 4.2 release

    . In the Julianne Kost video, "Working with DSLR video", in the help section, she clearly says that you can export to all three options, implying that the presets will be applied when you choose"original". However http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/849/cpsid_84934.html  "Video Support in Lighroom 4" says:

     

    Formats exported:

    • H.264
    • DPX

    NOTE: The Original option exports a copy of the video file without any adjustments made in Lightroom.

    Which is a bit pointless, imho.

    This is quite a bummer... I'm exporting clips from LR4 and want to use them in iMovie11 to put together a video. But when I import the mp4 files I can get out of LR, only a still image comes across in iMovie. I haven't found a free way to transfer mp4 back to mov, but I've tested with trial software that leaves a watermark and that does work in iMovie.... why doesn't LR4 let us export as mov??

    Since LR doesn't support video in the Develop module I don't understand how you can even apply any develop presets.
