Hi,

I am using original resolution TIFF files generated by LR and render the sequence with LRTimelapse to 4K (4096x2304, ProRes 422). While uploading some footage to Videoblocks, I get an error because the resolution is not exactly 4096x2304px.

Example:

Original resolution of the TIFF images (aspect ratio 16:9) generated by LR:

5220 x 2936 px

----------------------------
Error from Videoblocks:
Invalid Resolution (4096.348773841962x2304)
---------------------------


This is exactly the resolution you get by down scaling 5220 x 2936 px to 2304px high without rounding. This problem does not happen for sequences rendered from JPEG files in original resolution...

The render option 'Force output to 16:9' in LRT does not make any difference. Possibly exporting TIFF images in LR with 4096 x 2304 px may be the solution, but I want to keep to source file resolution as large as possible.

Thanks for any help!

Which resolution did you choose in the LRTimelapse render dialog?

I'm using 4096x2304 in LRT render dialog.

Just have seen exporting from LR in TIFF is only possible in original resolution. So no option for my problem.

Hmm, I've tried to reproduce that but couldn't yet.
I've exported a 16:9 cropped sequence via LRTExport as TIFF intermediaries and then rendered as ProRes 422. When checking the Width and Height of the MOV file via MPC player (VLC should do too), I get exactly 4096x2304.

Could you please tell me which settings you used in the LRTimelapse render dialog?
Could you try checking the dimensions/properties of the files in your player?

Thanks for checking.

These are my render settings for a cropped TIFF sequence. The TIFF images have been generated by LRTimelapse export plugin from LR,  cropped from Canon .cr2 files with 16:9 aspect ratio. Image size in this case is 5193x2921 pixels.

This is the properties dialogue box of the MPC player (Shift+F10) for this sequence:

It shows 4096x2304 pixels, but this seems to be rounded and positions after decimal point are not shown. But it gives a value for the aspect ratio if it is not exactly (16:9) -> in this case (262136:147447).

In case of JPEG rendering, no aspect ratio is shown in the lower box, since it is exactly (16:9):

No difference if 'Force output to 16:9' box is checked or not.

Could you please send me 2 or three of those Canon RAW files including their XMP files via Dropbox or Wetransfer.

After analyzing this I found that the sequences are all being rendered in the correct and exact 16:9 ratio. The only thing that could happen is, that the aspect ratio itself is being written as a weird fraction into the metadata by the encoder.
In the next update (4.7.2) I will force the ar-metadata to be written as 16:9 into the file, so that your stock agency will accept them.

Thanks a lot for your fast support and hard work, Gunther. Problem solved for me, Videoblocks accepting the sequences now.

Remark: Rainer has got a beta version with the fix from me. If anyone else needs this before the next official update, please let me know.

hi guys, i have just encountered this problem as well. i am using a nikon camera. Uploaded a clip to video blocks and got rejected with this message "[font=Roboto, sans-serif]Invalid Resolution (4096.254409937888x2304); For mp4 formats, footage must have one of the following resolutions: [3840x2160, 4096x2160, 4096x2304]."[/font]
