Try exporting all your time-lapse images as. If Lightroom hangs up, or seems to take forever when exporting your slideshow, it’s most likely due to your images being too large. You can create as many different variations of this as you like, all by changing the numbers on just those two lines in the template file. That’s it! You’ve just created your own personalized time-lapse slideshow template. After you restart Lightroom, you can rename the template if you wish. You must now save the document, close your text editor, and restart Lightroom before you begin using the template, otherwise your changes will not take effect. Step Six - Save and close the text editor, and then restart Lightroom. If you keep these three limitations in mind, Lightroom can create very simple and fast time lapses at any “frame rate” you desire. If you want more options, you’ll have to consider using Photoshop or something more advanced like LRTimelapse. What's more, there are only four preset options for exporting. Third, you will be limited to horizontal video only, with a maximum resolution of 1920x1080. But if you only had 290 images, upon export, Lightroom will trim the final video to nine seconds because it's missing the last ten frames to make it to the next whole second (9 seconds x 30 frames per second = 270 images). For example, if you wanted to create a ten-second video at 30 fps, you would need 300 images (10 seconds x 30 frames per second = 300 images).

So in effect, regardless of the number of images you use in a slideshow, Lightroom will always round the exported movie down to the nearest whole second. Second, the Slideshow Module is only capable of exporting to the whole second, never fractions.
Using the Slideshow Module, you can make individual images appear like they are at any desired frame rate, but Lightroom is only capable of exporting a slideshow movie at 29.97 fps. Lightroom was never built to make time-lapses, so we have to work within the boundaries of its programming and bend the rules a little. So after five years, I thought it was about time to share that information now that I have access to a much wider audience.įirst of all, I have to break some bad news.
#Lrtimelapse not opening how to
I only provided the templates I created for others to use, but I never fully explained how to do it yourself. Looking back at that video (which still gets over 1,500 monthly views) I completely ignored the technical part of how I achieved something that Lightroom was never intended for.
