Hi, I am a fairly newbie user working on post for my first holy grail project. For background; I have assembled a more straightforward daylight timelapse earlier, so been through a simplified version of the workflow with success. But I am now having trouble getting LR5 to read the metadata from the files after the first initial steps in LRTimelapse. The main difference being that earlier I was using .jpgs and now I'm using .DNGs.
After I have saved the first steps in LRTimelapse and want to go into LR5 to edit keyframes, I don't get the option to "Read metadata from files" - it's greyed out and my only option is to "Update DNG previews & metadata". I tried that, but it takes forever and nothing happens to the previews (not sure if those should change?), and I don't get any star ratings indicating keyframes that should be edited.
I tried to open the files in Bridge just to check, and there the 16:9 crop and star ratings are clearly visible, but it seems like LR5 can't "see" the changes. I have even tried to sync the folder containing the DNG's but it doesn't make a difference.
What am I missing - please...?
