Hi All,

I'm using LRT pro 6.2 build 820 on windows.

Computer:
Alienware Aurora R12 I9 - RTX3090 - 32GB - 2TB nvme m.2

After the export in Lightroom the rendering window open, but the button for render is grayed out.

Now no matter what I do, it is doing that, regardless of the sequence I try to render.

Here's the log file. It`s looks like LRT mixed up with the previous rendered timelapse directory.

Code:

I don't know exactly but you seem to have modified the name of the intermediary sequence, maybe that cause the confusion.
Normally LRTimelapse wouldn't create a folder called E:\TImelapse\Astronomie-2-tests-Slider\Test-1-Focus-Near\render\LRT_images
Please double check that, best you leave the name as it is suggested by the LRTExport plugin.
The next error is: Could not load intermediary file: E:\TImelapse\Astronomie-2-tests-Slider\Test-1-Focus-Near\images\IMG_3655.CR3
which is not an intermediary sequence that the render Dialog could render, here you need to select the exported LRT_* folder.
If it doesn't transffer automatically, just do "Choose" in the dialog (with mode Render Intermediary Sequence from Lightroom) and then select the exported LRT_ folder.

Thanks Gunther for your answer,

I've restarted from scratch and still the same problem. It`s not the first time I use it. I've made dozens of render before and I always do things the same way and always worked. So now I'm lost

To do this test, this is what I did:

-Create a new folder for the try called TestPhoto2
-Copied just original images in a folder called images inside TestPhoto. (No xml file or lrt subfolder included)
-Selected that folder inside lrt
-Did the export to Lightroom.
-Autotransition and deflicker
-Read metadata from files in Lightroom than export without touching anything else, didn't change any path.

I've put screenshot of what I've got and logs.

I also tried to uninstall both LRT and Ligthroom and deleting config files prior to reinstall. Nothing changed.
For now the only solution I've found is to manualy get the task folder, then it worked. but still have to choose it each time i do a render.

And now the problem is solved by itself. Really strange. You can consider this solved.
