Mac: Render Video error 139

Offline
#1 iancoble
Hi there,
I just started working with LR timelapse 4... great software.
However, I'm having an issue when I go to render a video in the final stages of creating a time lapse. When I click on render video, I get the following error message: "the external encoder returned an error. Please check the log file (info/ log) for details."
I'm attaching a copy of the log (below) that was generated.
Could you please let me know what the issue is and how I can fix it.
Thanks in advance for your help. Much appreciated!!!
Best
ian

Most likely you are using an old version of MacOS that is not compatible with the newer ffmpeg version shipped with LRTimelapse. Another option could be that the ffmpeg encoder installed by LRTimelapse got overwritten by some other software.

You might try to fix it as follows:

1.) Reinstall the latest version of LRTimelapse, get it directly from the download page: https://lrtimelapse.com/download !
2.) Try again. You can use the present intermediary sequence and just render it once more via file/render video in LRTimelapse. Use the select button to choose the intermediary sequence exported from Lightroom.

Only if this doesn't help:

3.) Download the latest version of ffmpeg for you version of MacOS (!) from here: http://www.osxexperts.net/ffmpeg/ffmpegexperts.html
The download link for the binary is on the left side, just download the one that matches your version of MacOS!
[Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2088...terfox.png]

Open the downloaded archive, it will contain a file called "ffmpeg".
Open another finder window, use the "Go / Go to folder" feature from the menu, type in /usr/local/bin
Now copy the ffmpeg binary from the archive you just downloaded (just the one file named ffmpeg) to /usr/local/bin, overwrite the previous one).

I had the same error. This is a link with clear instructions for Windows

This most likely won't happen on windows. No need to install ffmpeg manually on windows, sine it will be installed by LRTimelapse into the LRTimelapse folder.

I received error "the external coder returned an error". But, you're right, I don't think that was the problem. I was able to manually update and just tried rendering the video again and got the same error. 

the external coder returned an error.

I have the same Problem with different message. The workaround above is not working, because the Folder /usr/local/bin is not to be found.

Rechner: IMac 27" 2011,
System: X8.5

Die Fehlermeldung ist:

You hava a very old MacOS. Please install the right ffmpeg for your OS. from here: http://www.osxexperts.net/ffmpeg/ffmpegexperts.html
Make sure to place the ffmpeg binary into /usr/local/bin overriding the current one (it's there - use Finder/Go/Go To Folder) to locate it.
