Hi Gunther,

Huge fan. I'm having fun creating reels and am rendering my videos using your 9:16 setting.

Example:

I would love to render a video that pans in that same aspect ratio, selecting a starting position and and ending one. Possible?

Your fan from Amsterdam

Not being Gunther, but what you can IMHO do:
- take your timelapse pictures with a slider that allows panning and/or tilting. So you have a perfect sequence from the beginning
- do it with a videosoftware (e.g. DaVinci Resolve); there are many tutorials available on the web

You can do the Ken Burns Panning in Lightroom. Just set the crop there to a 9:16 aspect ratio and animate the crop.
Should work.

Should you experience any issues: there will be a couple of fixes regarding rendering in portrait mode in the next update (6.1) however, I'll publish it in the next days.

You can do that very easily... make your adjustments to the keyframes in LR as you usually do (copy or sync settings throughout the keyframes), when you are happy, make your crop, in your case vertical 16:9. Now, make/put the crop on the first frame ONLY and place it, lets say, all to the left. Go to "copy settings" and copy ONLY the crop, nothing else. Go to the last keyframe and "paste settings" and place the crop all the way to the right. Both crops should be in the same horizontal position in order to have a smooth panning effect. Safe the metadata and LRTimleapse will do the rest for you without ever touching a video editing software.

This is a small video I made from a moon eclipse a few months ago. I basically made a square crop and tried to have the moon in first frame and last frame centered, might be done better in a video editing software but I just did it fast and quick in LRTimelapse and stitched the clips (7 of them I believe) together in an app:

Thanks to both Gunther and also paf6169 for the detailed instructions. I finally gave it a shot and the instructions worked perfectly to crop the first and last keyframes at the very end in Lightroom, and let LRTimelapse do its thing.

Cheers, both.
