I believe others have run into this too. I don't know why/how it occurs but a solution seems fairly simple so thought I'd share the problem and the solution.
When I want to have some frame motion in my time lapse I know to use 5-stars in LR and to set my crop to 16x9, the same as I will use for output. My starting point is to select first frame and set it's aspect ratio to 16x9 then sync all frames in the time lapse to that crop (only sync the crop settings). I then select the frame where I want motion to start, giving it a 5-star rating; the last frame I want motion to stop, give it a 5-start rating; and any frames in between these two are then adjusted accordingly and given a 5-star rating where sizing or motion changes.
I then go back to LR Timelapse and go through the second row on the Visual Workflow. After Reading the metadata back into LR I'm ready to export, but I get an error that there are different crop aspect ratios (see attached screen shot). I think this is something that is occurring in LR Timelapse, not LR.
What I've found as a simple solution is to select the first frame, then all frames and sync just the aspect ratio, (see attached screen shot) not the entire crop as that will reposition all the frames to the same crop location and size as the first frame, which will change any size and frame motion. Once this is done LR no longer gives me the different crop aspect ratio found error.
In my current project my first frame motion was on index 119, but the crop aspect ratio occurred on index 8, which was static from the first frame, and as mentioned above the entire project was initially synced with the crop and aspect ratio of the first frame. So it seems to me the issue is occurring in LR Timelapse.
