Thank you for the prompt reply. You have brought me one step closer, but there continues to be a metadata problem. Your comment that the metadata was saved for only the one image helped. For some reason, even if I choose "Select all" in Lightroom, it is saving metadata only for the last selection. I then saved each keyframe image individually in LR, re-imported back to LRT, and the metadata was saved appropriately. I followed your workflow, clicked on Auto-transition, and all metadata for all images was smoothed. I saved metadata.
HOWEVER, when I re-imported into LR to finish the project, only the keyframes contained the edited metadata. The unchanged images had an up-arrow, which indicates "metadata was changed externally." If I click on it, I get a pop-up that asks, "Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings from those from catalogue?" If I select Import Settings from Disk, it reads the LRT metadata. However, I have to select each photo and tell it to Import from Disk. Somehow, LRT is altering the metadata in a way Lightroom doesn't like. Are there changes in the preferences I must do? BTW, I am using JPEGS for this project, not RAW--I don't know if that makes a difference.
thank you again,
Chris
