Hi,

After about 2 days of trying, we still are not able to make LRT3 to work for us. We are working on Mac and have tried with our IMac and Macbook Pro, Maverick.

We have followed the workflow and tried with different sequences, etc, but no use. We are working with jpg's, shot on Canon MarkII.

We are working in LR 5 (Demo version, which we are trying out, but is fully functional - I think)

We are able to make the changes to the keyframes in Lightroom 5, (we have tried 2 keyframes and more) but after reloading and autotransitioning and saving, when we go back into lightroom and read metadata from files, the changes aren't happening-only on the keyframes.

Here is one of the unsuccessful logs:

Please send the content of this log-file to support@lrtimelapse.com if you experience any problems.

Any help would be appreciated-We have about 8 or 9 time lapses what we need right away for a video project and was hoping to use TL to smooth it out, rather then Quicktime...Thanks and Happy Holidays.

This is still a mystery as sometime it's working, now and sometimes not. The problem seems to be when we follow the workflow, after making changes to the files in Lightroom, saving the metadata and going back into LRTimelapse, the changes aren't appearing all the time (Exposure, color temp,etc) when we Reload in LR Timelapse-even on the keyframes-some of the changes are there, sometimes, but not all...and sometimes, all of them are there. It seems random.

ideas??

Sorry to hear from your problems - have you read the following Faq article?
http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-meta...ng-applied

Make sure you load metadata for the unrated and also the rated sequences, I sometimes load all the variable ratings. . I had a similar problem in lr5 .

Thanks. I think we figured out the problem-We were creating a new graduated filter tool to change the sky and not working with the 3 templates, so the sky changes were not saving.

Seems to be working now!

Thanks!
