Import problem after renaming files

Offline
#1 Chrisllers
hi !
Yesterday i took 250 pictures. But after 9999 pictures since i have this DSLR, my Canon returns to 0 for renaming files. So in the same Time lapse i have the first 199 pictures named from IMG_9800 to IMG_9999 and 50 last pictures named from IMG_0001 to IMG_0050. When importing all pictures, LRT put pictures in the wrong order (IMG_0001->IMG_0050 and after IMG_9800->IMG_9999) so i have the end before the begining.
Then i decided to rename my pictures before importing, like this : IMG_0001 to IMG_0250.
But there is a problem, pictures are not in the right order, take a look :

LRTimelapse sorts by timestamp by default, the file name doesn't matter.
Just make sure that the Checkbox for "Sort by Filname" is NOT set and initialize your sequence.
To force reordering you might check that box and remove it again.
This should give you the right order according to the Date/Time column in the table.

ok i solve that problem by clicking "yes" in the window (non ASCII characters).
But i have some troubles. I made changes with lightroom on keyframes (exposure etc..), saved metadatas (Ctrl+S), reloading in LRtime lapse but nothing appears to be changed in LRT. Exposure etc... disappears in Lrtimelapse. I tried to continue (auto transition and saving metadatas) but when i want to reload metadatas in Lightroom (full sequence/read metadatas), pictures change and become like the originals shoots imported in the first step with Lrtimelapse. Only keyframes has been changed.

If you allow non ascii characters, exiftool might fail. That's the reason for the warning. Then you don't get Date/Time stamps as well, the sorting breaks etc. Please rename the time lapse folders in order to get that straight.

Thank you i will read that, i have already renamed the folder, no more warning now. I tried changing exposure changes with another time lapse. I used pencil (K) at left of the first keframe of an old time lapse. I have done the same thing but at the right of the last keyframe. After saving metadatas and importing them in LRT and making auto transition, nothing appeads. Is it normal ?
I want to use this to change exposure on the milky way when the milky way moves. Do you understand ?
On this sequence, i want to highlight the milky way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQpXcGou...e=youtu.be

There is no change in the curves.
EDIT : brush is not supported ? So that's the reason. But how to hightlight the milky way ?

Use the Linear gradients that LRTimelapse creates on Import or, even better the circular gradients (Shift-M).
They will anymate - but only if you use the ones that LRTimelapse created.

but linear gradient makes changes only on one side no ? (up or down, left or right). So is it possible to make changes only on the milky way with linear gradient ?

Sure, you make the changes outside the milkyway, use 2 gradients for that. The milkyway will then have the global adjustments, the parts outside will be modified by the gradients.
