Hi guys. Have been using Lapsodi for the last few years and decided to step up to LRTimeLapse.

All i require at this stage is a folder of 1000 images, add deflicker and then render.

I did it this morning fine but when i came back this afternoon the deflicker button is greyed out.

My workflow was:

Select folder…….images load in………loading exif data
preview Lum comes up for each image
Line draws across cam preview
Deflicker button greys out

Any tips?

TIA,

David.

Try closing LRT, then reopen it, load the sequence again and see if the deflicker button is then activated.
If not, send me the log (info menu / show log).

Those files seem to be corrupt:

Great spot. Had a look through and there's 25 images out of 1069 that are showing as zero bytes. Removing those files and then re-running works a treat It's all images from an ip camera and those ones mustn't have uploaded properly to my server.

Glad we could solve that! :-)
