Export to 1080p slideshow, slides stop at 1:00 min

Hi, I have a 7 minute slideshow in iPhoto that we are trying to export to 1080p video. Every time we do it, at the 1 minute mark, the music continues but all we see is the main picture we use for the slideshow. While it's exporting, I watch and each photo is being exported as if it's going to work, but then when I view the actual video, it stops at the 1:00 minute mark and that one slide/photo is all that we see for the remaining 6 minutes. I've tried moving photos around, thinking somehow there's a bad photo and it's sticking on it, but nothing changes. At the 1 minute mark, it just goes back to that main slide/photo.


I initially exported it at 480p, and I think it completely worked at that resolution. But I can't use it at that size, so I deleted it. Any ideas on what I can do?


We're using a new Mac Pro for this.


Thanks,

Ron

I am wondering if I have some memory that might be out. I have 155 of 250 gig hard drive not being used, so plenty of space there. This is a MacBook Pro that we just bought less than a year ago. When we tried to export the first few, yes laptop was going asleep so I turned that off and there was absolutely no change in the results. it still switched to the main slide right at the 1 minute mark. I haven't quit all the other programs while exporting, I can try that next.


It just does not seem to be random as it's stopping right at the 1 minute mark every time, very consistent.

I am wondering if I have some memory that might be out.

Or, maybe, a problem with memory not beeing released.

I some threads I have seen problems being reported, with apps not being able to release memory when running on MacOS X 10.9.1.


You could check for this by looking at the Activity Monitor (in Applications < Utilities). Open the "Memory" tab and sort the processes by the "Memory" column. Is all memory used up, when the rendering stops at that particular image? Are any diagnostic messages relating to memory or iPhoto in the Console window?
