Have you seen this problem before? i tried searching the FAQ, but i couldn't seeem to find any solution. This is a exported sequence from Lightroom. I haven't tried importing the photos instead of exporting from Lightroom

I found out what the error was, i get this error when i turn off 16:9 Forcing. Currently rendering a video now Big Grin


RE: The external encoder returned an error, please check the log file for details - Gunther - 2022-06-03

Ok, I finally found out what happened here: the problem here is that you changed the output filename of the video, but didn't provide the corrrect extension (.mp4). That's why rendering failed.
I'll make this more robust in the next version.
Until then, best use the pregenerated video filename (that kind of naming is very useful) or make sure to not delete the file type when you change the name.

Fixed in 6.0.6. Please update: https://lrtimelapse.com/download/
