Sometimes I have a problem where I lose the first key frame (1 star) and can't get it back. I have tried reseting the metadata from LRT and LR, but cannot get it back. What might cause this, what can I do about it, and what is the best way to start a time lapse from scratch?

Thanks

Hi delik,
normally initializing will set everything back so you can start from scratch. If nothing else helps, you could clear the metadata for the whole sequence in LRTimelapse, save and then initialize again. In Lightroom you should then select all in Grid-View and then Read metadata from files.
If problems like that occur, please check the log-file - if there is something strange in there, please send it to me! (info/log)
Best
