I have rendered multiple videos with great success but it looks like LRTimelaps has issues when rendering HDR images.
Created a timelapse and went through the whole process.. and all the necessary HDR files were created in correct order. HDR files were merged with 3 files (+1, 0, -1 EV)

When rendering in LRTimelapse, the processes moves about 10% of the way and stops. I viewed the rendered movie and it wasnt a complete rendering with only about 2 sec. Final rendering in Adobe Premier was about 13sec .

Is there a problem with rendering HDR files ??

Hi JJ,
I don't think this has anything to do with HDR or not. There are however a couple of possibilities that might make the encoder stop. For example if the intermediate files have different sizes/aspect ratios or there are gaps in the numbering.
please check this faq entry:

Then check the log file (info/log) maybe it gives you a hint. You can send it to me via email as well if you are in doubt.

Hi Gunther,
First, thank you for the fast response and support for this outstanding product.

As for my problem, all images were generated using LRTimelapse and sizes/aspect ratios are the same because I managed to drag the whole directory (LRT_LRTSequence) of images generated by LRTimelapse and are numbered sequentially into premier to generate the video.
I'm also using the latest LRTExport plugin

Can you tell me where exactly I can find the log ?

Here is the log file..
Can you tell me where I went wrong.

It's like I supposed: the intermediate files do not have exactly the same size (slightly different aspect ratios), see:

Code:

The encoder doesn't like that. Somewhere in your process the image sizes/crops must have been changed. Make sure that you leave the crop alone for this kind of work, don't animate the crop, just make sure it is exactly the same for all images the same goes for the image dimensions. Check that in the LRTimelapse table. You can equalize the crops by right clicking on one of the crop collumns headers and select "fill values down".
