I keep coming back and trying this program because I know people are getting good results with it. I continue to not be able to get it to work. It's frustrating because seeing what others have done with it I want to like it and want to be able to use it.
I've got a folder of 2300+ images. Nikon NEF files from a D700. I've made whatever changes I need to in LR and have written out the metadata to XMP sidecar files. When I launch LRTimelapse and nagivate to the appropriate folder, the image ingestion process begins. When it's recognised all the images I get an error message indicating that some files have missing metadata. They don't. I've installed the exif reader program to see if that helps. It seems to. But as the process begins to read the image data and compute the Mean brightness values, after anywhere from 75% to 90% of the way through, the program stops. It just stops loading the XMP data. I tried again, bypassing the exif reader step and the same thing happens. I've tried exiting and relaunching with no different result. I've tried using the Reload button with no success.
I'm using the beta version of LR4 and wonder if this may be part of the problem because Adobe have pretty significantly changed the controls. I've got the latest version of LRTimelapse installed as well.
For the metadata it is reading, it's giving some fairly wild results. The attached screen cap illustrates. The images were taken 12 seconds apart under identical lighting situations and yet the display is showing radically different brightness values.
Please advise.
Thanks.
