Been using LRTimelapse for years and love it. Went to do a timelapse today and my frames between keyframes are not getting the Lightroom Classic edits after using auto transition and turning on visual previews.

Everything is up to date, LRT, DNG, LRC. Have tried removing the sequence multiple times and re-initializing and still having this problem after working through the basic workflow.

LRT version 6.5.5 , LRC version 13.5

Please post the log (info menu) after you did the workflow.

PS: Note that Support for LRTimelapse 6 has ended, please consider upgrading to LRTimelapse 7. There are discounted upgrades for the licenses on https://lrtimelapse.com/upgrade/

I woud love to upgrade but it is quite expensive. LTR 5 to 6 was only like $40 but this 2-3x that. I can't afford to spend money on that right now.

I guess I was looking at the price for cross upgrade from private to pro. So not as bad of a price as I thought but still would rather not spend the money on it right now.

I don't see any errors in the log.
As I said, support has ended for LRT 6, upgrade price is 60 bucks, I hope you will have those to support my work and personal support with any issues. Thanks.

Got the 6.6 update. New photo sequence. Same problem. Edit keyframes in LRC, only the keyframes show the edits in LRT after running Auto Transition. Can I get a refund now that LRT 6 is no longer functional and supported?

You must be doing something wrong. LRTimelapse 6 has been out since nearly 3 years and thousands are working with that version without problems.

Why don't you install the trial version of 7 and check if this solves your problems, you can get back to 6.6 at any time, by reinstalling it. Then you could be certain, if it's a problem with 6 or not.

There is also lots of ways to troubleshoot these things (and providing more information here).

For example try following the workflow by monitoring the table.

Do a simple edit from scratch on a test folder where you copied 100 images into.

Now start with "Metadata / Initialize" to reset everything in LRT. Do the first row, create two keyframes (start and end) bring the sequence to LRT.

Edit the first keyframe with exposure -4 and the last with Exposure +4. Save metadata (grid view, select all, save metadata).

Now Back in LRT you shold see the developed keyframes (only) as visual preview and in the table you should see the exposure values -4 and +4, all rows in the table between should still show default values.

When you now click on auto transition, the exposure column in the table should show transition values for all images and the visual previews should be generated for all images inbetween.

If you get stuck at any place in this workflow let me know.

Doing things I've been doing the past 4 years with no problems!

In simplest terms: work the first row of workflow items in LRT. Save. Drag to light room. Edit 1st keyframe. Synch edits across other keyframes. Work the remaining keyframes as/if necessary and sync if edits are done. Go to full collection, select all. Save metadata. Reload sequence in LRT. Start the second row of workflow starting with auto transitions. Observe that keyframe edits do not get passed on to the frames between keyframes.

I will try some of your suggestions as soon as I can.
