threfore render time for a 400 shot lapse is several hours....

activity monitor shows (not responding) for a while then the render takes place of the 2 frames then the next 2 are qued up and then activity monitor says
not responding again....

deleted and then reinstalled lrtimelapse 6 and thenewest dng converter.

just asking if 3 or 4 hours of rendering time sounds right

3-4 hours for 400 images sounds a lot. Normally it should be much faster.

Are you using the internal Export And Render feature? In beta 10 there might be timeouts which will delay the export (you would see errors in the log) this will be fixed in the next Beta. In you log I don't see any errors however.

Try the Lightroom export via the LRTExport plugin. In General the Lightroom Export will be a bit faster than the internal Export in LRT.

You can use your LRT license on up to two computers. Should be possible to connect a PC to a Mac monitor also :-)

Please try with the new Beta 11. Let me know if it works better there.

yes its better i have had the create visual previews hangup after a lot of images -
i'll try and get a log for you next time.
