I am trying to make a pan/zoom image. I have 250 identical images named from 001 to 250 in JPG format (24mpix).

The only thing I am doing is to change the crop of the keyframes to simulate a pan and zoom effect. When I save the metadata from the keyframes and reload them into LRTimelapse, it reads and shows them correctly, the top/bottom/left/right crop show the new values. I have 10 keyframes and the timing is at least 1 second between them.

When I click on create auto transitions, all of those crop ratios are reset to 0/0/1/1 and the crops are lost, the transitions are not created. I tried this several times, making sure that all masks are deleted and images start fresh

LRT version 5.8 on Windows 10, Lightroom CC latest version

Any ideas what to do?

If you want to animate the crop on more than from beginning to end you need to work with 5* Keyframes for the crop. If they will be animated individually from the regular 4* keyframes.
You set this with the key 5 in LRTimelapse.
Check out my expert tips tutorial about animating the crop on https://LRTimelapse.com/tutorial/expert
It's also described in my Ebook. (see link at bottom of this page)

Ahaa, it is the number of stars. I thought all keyframes need only one star. That worked, thank you! I'll watch the tutorial, though.
