Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Gunther - 2013-06-29 mostly this might be a workflow issue. There are some things to consider -
RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - UniqueCaptures - 2013-08-02 I have gone back and forth through the forum and can not find an answer to my issue. I can get through all stages and get my final images to import into both LR4 and LR5 with the same results. Only some of the files will update the xmp data and it appears that there is a connection to the updating of the preview file in Lightroom. (Even though you say otherwise) In this example I have imported the xmp date and waited until it was listed as task complete. Then I selected all files and exported via LR5 slideshow and have some frames that have been converted, some have some odd whitebalance and some appear to be the camera raw files. http://www.flickr.com/photos/unique_captures/9419185926/ Having done nothing but scroll to allow all of the images to be updated in Lightroom 5 library preview this second attempt has the video showing all of the correctly adjusted frames. http://www.flickr.com/photos/unique_captures/9419189392/in/photostream/ What have I missed or overlooked that is causing me to have to baby sit each and every frame loading into Lightroom 4 or 5? RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Gunther - 2013-08-02 Did you really read metadata for all images? In Grid view? In the Lightroom Catalog settings there is a setting "Automaticall write changes to XMP", make sure that is OFF. The preview generation in LR has nothing to to with reading the metadata. I suggest you start over the whole process in LRTimelapse with initializing and try again. Maybe you could try a fresh LR catalog as well, probably there is something messed up. RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - UniqueCaptures - 2013-08-02 Gunther, my apologies because I meant to follow up to this post this evening and was sidetracked. I have installed LR Timelapse 3 to my system and absolutely everything is working perfectly! I adjusted my work flow as you mentioned in the newest tutorial and everything is working even better than I had expected. The rendered quality is amazing! I will add that I think you are a genius. The export render is a perfect addition to an already tremendous program. Thank you for your help. Steve RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Gunther - 2013-08-02 Thank you steve! RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Franz - 2013-09-03 I seem to have another metadata issue: I even don't get starred keyframes in Lightroom. And yes I did click on "Read metadata ff" with all pictures selected and no filters, and "Automaticall write changes to XMP" is off. And in the following any color corrections I make in LR is not in the finally rendered movie. I did reinstall the Addon. Any ideas? Another problem I have is that in the "Render Dialog" I don't have the Pro Options though I did buy the Pro Version. I do not know if these two issues have anything to do together. Mac OS ML LRTL 3 LR 5 Thank you RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Gunther - 2013-09-03 Hi Franz, let's try to sort one thing after the other. 1.) For the metadata. Load a sequence, initialize it, save. Now in Lightroom import that sequence, make sure the filename of the first image is the same than in LRTimelapse (in Lightroom you can get the Filename by hitting "I" a couple of times Now load metadata from files for this image. Does a star appear on that image? 2.) Does the License dialog (Info/License) say that you have the professional license installed?

But the stars still don't appear. But I made grading changes in LR to the first and the last picture, and as I reimported them in LRTL I starred the keyframes (first+last) manually, and then after "Autotransition" and "Save" the CC was applied perfectly in LR after "read metadata ff". Hm... so I would call that a workaround for the moment... But if you have further ideas they are warmly welcome cheers Franz RE: Metadata is not travelling, Parameters are not being applied - Gunther - 2013-09-03 Open that first MP file in a text editor. Search for "Rating" and check if it's "1". If so, LRTimelapse is writing anything correctly. The question is, why Lightroom is not reading that. Maybe you should you consider upgrading to LR5.2 (RC) - it's way more stable. |
