How to use LRTimelapse with After Effects

Offline
#21 paulterry
Im gettig stuck in the work flow at the following step:

hit "Select All..." in the ACR window and "Synchronize.." after that

Not sure how to do this can you explain the ACR window and how do I synchronise.

Any possibility of a video tutorial for those who don't have lightroom - Bridge ad after effects?

Hi,

since Lightroom is basically just a front end with an integrated library for ACR you can use LRTimelapse not only to alter the files created in Lightroom, but also to prepare your images for use in Adobe After Effects!
If you want to use AE anyway to create your video files, you can save a lot of time by skipping the time consuming process of importing the images in LR by using Bridge to create the .xmp files.

Here is my worklflow for working with LR-Timelapse and After Effects with the help of Adobe Bridge:

- open the folder with your TL image sequence in Adobe Bridge
- select all images (Ctrl+A), right-click on them and choose "Open in Camera Raw..."
- pick the first image and adjust the WB or other settings like exposure
- hit "Select All..." in the ACR window and "Synchronize.." after that (important!)
- choose the last image of your sequence and change the WB or whatever you like
- hit "Done" (not "Open Object") (this may take a bit to write the .xmp files)

- open the sequence with LR-Timelapse and process (and deflicker if necessary) like Gunther has showed in one of his tutorials.

- import the images into in After Effects, check "Camera RAW Sequence" (or "JPEG Sequence" if you are working with those)
- process further or edit and save as .avi or .mp4
- Be happy. :-)


If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to comment on my little tutorial.

Best Regards

We discussed the use of the stabilasation function of AE with timelapse many times - may be in the german section.
At the moment LRTimelapse has no built in stabilization.

Thiery, currently LRTimelapse has no stabilization build in. The best workflow in my opinion is to make all the grading/editing in LRTimelapse/Lightroom, then use the LRTExport Plugin in LR to render the sequence, make sure that "delete temporary sequence after rendering" is disabled.

Then load the LRT_* temprary/intermediate sequence into After Effects, stabilize that and export it to a new folder as JPG sequence again with the LRTimelapse naming convetions for intermediate sequences: Foldername begins with LRT_ and files are named like the other intermediate files (5 digits after LRT_).
Put those into a folder named LRT_<Sequence Name>_stabilized

Now load it into the LRTimelapse render module and render it as usually.

Are you using a compatible version of After Effects? You need at least CS6 if you use the 2012 Process and CS5 if you use the 2010 Process. You can change the process in the LRTimelapse settings - you will have to redo your sequence from initialization if you change the process.

Hi there!

I'm new to this forum, and I found your post, which is really helpful and eye opening.
One novice question I have (and I need to be sure before I buy this awesome program) is this:  


Can I use LRTimeLapse4 to edit the entire sequence in RAW, save the XMP files, and then use the edited RAW sequence within After Effects?  The only reason why I would want to use AE to export the files (instead of the one available in LRTimeLapse4) is because I want to export it to "uncompressed" AVI file format.

Is my assumption correct that I can do this with ease?

I appreciate your wisdom, and apologies for such an elementary question.  I'm new to all this.

Normally this should work, if your AE version is compatible.
But it well be very slow. I'd recommend using LRTimelapse's prores. The quality will be outstanding too. If you really need it uncompressed, you could export a tiff sequence via LRTExport and then betting the tiff sequence into AE. Just try it.
