LR Catalog Question

[Abbeycatt]

I currently have an iMac and my primary LR catalog associated with it (approximately 15000 photos). I also have a MacBook Pro that I use as a play ground (usually when traveling) and it has its own LR catalog.

I have developed a LR slideshow on my iMAC/primary LR catalog and I want to know how I can take that slideshow and move it to my MacBook. I know how to export this slide show as a PDF and could do that, however, i've put the slideshow to music so I really want to run it out of LR on my MacBook.

This is for a big family reunion in a couple of weeks - mother's 90th birthday; dad's 87th birthday and their 60th wedding anniversary so the slide show is mostly the story of their lives.

I'm stuck. Can you help?

Thank you.

You can export it as a video and retain the music.

Seriously that easy? I'll give it a try. So I export as a Video out of LR on my iMac and import into LR on my MacBook? Or am I missing something?

Nope!

You can just play the video on your Laptop, no need to import to LR.

Actually the MP4 file produced is the end product. You don't need to import it into LR any more than you would a photo sent to Flickr. The default (Quicktime) video player will open the mp4 file and you are off and running.

Thank you so much. I was making this WAY to difficult. Worked like a charm. Thanks again
