How to export image sequence with all develop settings applied?

Till Krueger Apr 9, 2016 5:29 AM

If this has been covered, please send me the link to the answer, but i have just spent/wasted 3 hrs trying to find the correct steps.
I want to use Lightroom CC (v.2015.5 on OS X 10.11.4 on iMac5K i7 32GB RAM AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB) to process my timelapse sequences, some shot as RAW+JPG, some as only JPG.

Here is what i've done:

- imported a JPG sequence into Lightroom

- in Develop i made my adjustments (shadows, exposure, white-balance) and spot healing on first image in sequence
- right-clicked on first image in sequence, then Develop Settings > Copy Settings... (i selected "Check All"), then selected all the other images of the sequence, right-click and Develop Settings > Paste Settings
all the images in the sequence now have the same look
- right-clicked on first image in sequence, then Export > Export..., then selected to Export To: Specific folder (i created a "processed" folder on the same level as the source folder),
Rename To: Custom Settings (Filename_proc-01.jpg) and clicked on the Export button.

Lightroom saves the entire sequence to the new folder quite quickly, but the files look exactly like the original files, without any of the Develop settings i made.
What am i doing wrong?

hope someone can help me.

Then in the Export dialog you have selected to export "Original" in the "File Settings" section. Look at ALL the settings in the Export dialog. The changes you make in that dialog are Sticky and unless you go through all of them your next export will have the same settings as the last export.

Not sure what you mean, Just Shoot Me, as there is no setting that would let me choose between "Original" or something else...are you sure there is, and if so, what other Export dialog is there other than File > Export... or right-click > Export > Export... ?
I have a feeling it must be something really obvious, but i just can't seem to figure it out...frustrating, as i've wasted my entire Saturday with something as simple as this, when i hoped to be able to process at least a dozen timelapses today...and i do *not* want to go back to Photoshop Actions!

Anyone else have an idea?

Like JSM says, if you use Original as Image Format in the Export dialogue, you'll see what you're seeing. You probably want to use JPG.

Thanks for the screen-grab, Hal, and thanks again for the correct answer, Just Shoot Me.
My bad for not looking in the right place...and you did spell it out for me, yet i kept looking at the first dialog, not the "File Settings" one...some days i can't see the forst for all the trees :-/
But what a relief that it's working now! :-D
