Portrait vs Landscape - AmyBB - 2015-05-13
I am rather new at all of this and this software. I am trying to create a time lapse from a melting snowman. However I cannot get the software to NOT cut off the top and bottom portions of the video.
I cropped the files in LR to the 16:9 format. However LRT crops it down to the middle portion only.
How can I fix this?

In the LRTimelapse settings, there is a "crop to 16:9" setting, please uncheck this, than initialize the sequence (Metadata/Initialize) and start over. Now LRTimelapse should leave the crop alone.
Portrait timelapses are rather uncommon :-)

I tried to make this change, however it is still cropping the vid.
In the final render option there is an option box to force render under output.
I tried to uncheck this however it then does not produce a vid that I can watch, I get a compression error.
Any ideas?

LRTimelapse has not been tested to work with Portrait sequences. The video encoder might fail on those. I'm sorry I currently have no solution for this.

I also need to make a portrait timelapse. Did you find a solution?
RE: Portrait vs Landscape - Gunther - 2015-09-15
No, this is not supported. But you can use the images in Landscape format, create the video in landscape format and then rotate in a video editor to portrait if need be.

Ah OK, yes. Thanks.
