Did you follow the workflow and launch the rendering from Lightroom via the LRTExport plugin? See http://lrtimelapse.com/tutorial

Hi,

Yes i followed the workflow step by step.
Lightroom - export through time lapse etc.
Then when i press the render button the program gives an error.
See my first post for the logfile.

Unfortunatley that logfile does not give me any useful info.
Which render button do you mean? In the LRTExport Lightroom Plugin? Or in LRTImelapse?
If the error happens in Lightroom it would certainly help to know what the error says and probably have the LRTExport log file, you will find it in your documents folder, it's called LRTExport.log.

the error apears in timelapse after exporting from lightroom.
When I choose my videosettings en press the render button the following error ocures :

Could not launch the external encoder.
Please check the log file (info/log) for details.

Okay, then would you please send me the log AFTER the error occurred?

Hi Gunther,

Could you please help me with this error?

Go to LRTimelapse settings, External Programs, check the path to ffmpeg.
Should normally point to the directory where you installed LRTimelapse into.
If you are on 64bit OS make sure to point it to "ffmpeg64.exe" instead of "ffmpeg.exe".
