Gunther

Some weeks ago I asked for you help to solve crucial problems with LRT and you promissed to take care of this after your journey. These problems were documented by a screen video (see https://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-str...5#pid39275). I was not able to find a solution myself, unfortunately, my finding to exit LRT before export in LR was not reliable.
In effect I was not able to prepare and deliver my project (took over 6 months of work) to important for me photo/video contest.

Today I upgraded Adobe Lightroom and LRT to the newest versions. Next I tried to re-process some sequences. Unfortunately, the problem persists. My workflow with a short sample sequence is recorded and published here https://www.dropbox.com/s/wr4opx2rgesti2...w.mp4?dl=0. This screen video is 5 minutes long 90MB mp4 file. The only edits (in Hitfilm Express) were to speed up lengthy "Visual previews" and "Visual deflicker" processes.

Gunther, I'm sorry, I had to withhold my recommendation for LRT to my friends associated in the Polish Nature Photographer's Union until the problem is clarified. The problem I struggle with makes LRTimelapse unusable. I'm sure I follow your instructions very carefuly but please take a look to verify what gets wrong.
I work with the paid version of LRT, Windows 7, the newest Adobe apps.

Hi Mariusz, sorry for not coming back to the other thread, I must have missed that.
I've watched your video - everything looks perfect. LRTimelapse works as expected. After your workflow you have a smooth and deflickered sequence.
The problem seems to come when you are in Lightroom. At that position, Lightroom should not alter the DNG files at all - but it obviously does and so LRTimelapse in the background notices changes on those files and recreates the visual previews.

Please check if you have configured Lightroom to write changes automatically into XMP files: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-ligh...s-into-xmp
This has to be turned off! Then try again.

To be on the safe side: Start in LRTimelapse with "Metadata/Initialize" to reset everything to a defined start.

Yesss, Gunther, Big Cold Beer 4 YOU!

I would never guess Adobe changes user settings after update. Please put a warning somewhere in the manuals so that the users verify LR settings after Adobe CC update as they can change, make LRT useless, and ruin someone's plans.

Glad it's working now! :-)
