Can't start a Slideshow in Adobe Organiser 13

[KenNew]

I am operating an iMac which is just over a year old with Mojave OS.

Over the past three or four months I have loaded 1400 photos into Organiser 13 and I have just tried to set up my first slideshow using about a dozen of those photos. I have followed Adobe's instructions (helped by a couple of You Tube videos). At the final stage of preparing the slideshow, after selecting a theme, I click 'done' and a progress bar briefly appears - and then the screen goes black, except for a small bar containing a pause button and buttons for Edit, Save, Export and Exit. Clicking on any of those only returns me to the thumbnails.

How do I avoid the black screen and get the slideshow to run properly?

My thanks for any help you can offer.

Further to my original post I have just tried quitting Organiser and backing up the catalogue since my previously reported attempt at creating a slideshow. For the first time ever whilst using Organiser I received an error message. I did not entirely understand its contents but since it includes the word 'slideshow' I though I would attach a screengrab of the message in case it helps explain what has gone wrong since I attempted a slideshow. Thanks.

You would probably get more replies if you asked in the Adobe forums.

Thanks, yes I have made the same enquiry on the Adobe site and have received a reply which I'm going to look into.

The screenshot you posted shows that an error occurred while writing a Time Machine Snapshot to your drive. That error likely happened when you made a Time Machine backup. Since you didn't mention any specs regarding your iMac or what kind of drive it has, it might be a good idea to have that error checked by Apple. If your iMac is new, it should be covered by Applecare. Whether that has anything to do with your problem regarding the Adobe Organizer Slideshow is unknown.

Thank you. I think I'd better look into that as well.
