Hi Gunter,
I have this jittery ken burns effect too, so I went through this thread to try to find help here.
It seems locking the aspect ratio in LR only reduces the jitter but doesn't eliminate it at all.
From my tinkering it appears to be worst with slow steady change, and is less noticeable with fast transition, but also less pronounced even when slowing down, because instead of jumping to the next position after 4 to 6 frames, the edge of the crop moves more constantly at every new frame so that the unpleasant jitter effect is less disturbing.
EDIT: based on the rest of the discussion, the aspect ratio was discarded as potential source of the problem, so that part of my response is irrelevant.
Suggestion:
1.not allowing a crop that would take away a too important proportion of the initial frame. (the effect is more pronounced with important crops)
2. faster transitions
3. no crop at all, and using a video editing solution
Remark- LRtimelapse needs a MANUAL: it took a lot of time to find this info and I would have found really helpful to have access to a standard (searchable) user manual instead of having to go through multiple videos that pertain to older implementations of the software, or worse a forum. Some threads contain useful comments, most do not, and overall useful responses within threads are specific to the questions asked and not always generally applicable.
Generally speaking a form doesn't cover all the functionalities of a software, but only those most puzzling ones that users ask about, or perceive as being the cause of their problems, the content is thus very biased towards the user experience which is itself the reflection of the available (or absence of) documentation.
I know it's a lot of work to put together a comprehensive manual, and the permanent improvements make it feel like a waste of time, but its really important to have a resource FREELY available to the users that spent money on your software and have no access to any form of exhaustive documentation.
Thanks in advance for considering this remark.
