Hey guys...first post here. I tried everything, I've read the FAQ and didn't find any answer...
LRTimelapse just won't run... nothing happens. My Mac has 4gb of ram, so it's not memory related... and I've put the program on the applications folder...

any ideas? because I'm looking for an alternative program...

thanks!
It could be that your 4GB is not enough for the amount of RAM java wants to allocate by default.
Please follow the instructions here: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-lrti...art-on-mac to change the amount of ram reserved for LRTimelapse, this should get you going. Please make sure as well, that you have the lates Java update installed.

BTW: Afaik there is no real alternative ;-)
I have done that already... and the Java is up to date! it still does not open!

Any more ideas?

Thanks!
Open the Mac Console (log file), clear everything and than lauch LRTimelapse. What ist the output? (set the filter to "LRTimelaspe")
Is that it?

I've found the answer in another thread

I just put in terminal: chmod 777 /Applications/LRTimelapse.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

Thanks!
Glad you sorted that out! Thanks for sharing the solution!
Just moved this to the FAQ.
