Can you confirm LRTimelapse works with non-Canon/Nikon files?
My main concern is that if I use Olympus .ORF raw files (from an Olympus OM E-M5 - which is small, light and great for timelapse) then I get a variety of problems. Usually these are solved by reloading and repeating the process in LRLightroom a few times until the key frame markers, transitions, etc appear in the Lightroom previews and then I know it has finally worked. But it is very hit and miss. Even then, when I Export, Lightroom will go through the process of exporting all the files but will often not save them to a folder (some other times, it will export some - but not - all of the files to a folder). This happens whether you 'render with last settings' or render separately in LRLightroom after the export.
Also, if I use Pentax .DNG raw files (from a Pentax 645D) : Initialise / Key Frames Wizard / Save, and copy Metadata to Files. But the key frame markers (1 star) do not appear in Lightroom.
But if I use Canon .CR2 raw files (fron Canon 7D) everything works perfectly!
I have version 3.1; Lightroom 5.0 (with latest Camera Raw updates); on Mac OS X v10.7.5 (with lots of disk space and lots of memory); the LRLightroom add-ons all appear correctly in Lightroom; Lightroom preferences and cagtalogues settings are as you have advised.
Lightroom reads .ORF and .DNG files perfectly - so is the problem that LR Lightroom cannot handle non-Canon/Nikon files?
Many thanks
