Unlike most other programs, with Lightroom you have three choices determining when and where your work is saved. Telling Lightroom to save your changesĪdobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic lets you decide when to save your work. Essential organizational features like your copyright info, keywords, star ratings, and colored labels are all Metadata annotations. Almost all of the descriptive information that you can add to your images in Lightroom’s Library and Map Modules are also types of Metadata. But the importance of Metadata goes way beyond just the Develop Module. Needless to say, the Develop Module instructions (Metadata) are very important because they represent all of the changes that you have made to your image’s appearance within Lightroom Classic. These instructions can also be written into your image files themselves as Metadata. These instructions tell Lightroom to show the photo brighter or the colors more saturated (as examples), and this data is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. In LR go to grid mode, make sure you have cleared all filters - select the whole sequence, read metadata from files.Every time you move a slider in Lightroom and make a change to the appearance of a photo, Lightroom is simply assigning a new set of instructions to that file behind the scenes. Check if the blue diamond is on the last frame.

So you have to use the keyframes wizard after initializing to get the last frame as KF as well. (, 11:33)gwegner Wrote: Initializing in 3.2.1 will only create one keyframe. This time there was no progress bar on clicking 'save.' I've tried to manually add keyframes and click 'save,' or clear metadata and click 'save,' just to create different metadata to see if the 'save' button would become responsive. It hasn't seem to have made a difference either way in past sequences I've built. Sometimes there is a progress bar, sometimes not. I've noticed that sometimes in the first layer of LRT workflow, that when 'save' is clicked, nothing happens. I think this might be a clue to the problem.

The filenames of the first and last frame in LRT are the same in LR. The first frame has a 1 star designation. I select it all, then read the metadata from files.

In LR, grid mode, I'm set to LRT Full Sequence. I have a blue diamond at the first frame and another at the last frame. The workflow you describe below is the one I follow. I've tried deleting everything and starting over. I've tried deleting that last frame, then manually creating another keyframe in the NEW last frame, and still Lightroom does not see that final keyframe designation. But LRT does not create the auto-transitions. If I designate that second keyframe in Lightroom, I then have tried different procedures of viewing full sequence and reading metadata, or just viewing the keyframes (the one Lightroom recognizes and the one i created manually in Lightroom) and then reading metadata.

I've tried to manually designate that second keyframe in Lightroom (which is the last frame of the sequence), and then do the edit process, set filter to all keyframes, highlight all and save metadata to files, then back to LRT for the rest of the process, but it is as if that second keyframe doesn't exist. But these two sequences seem to have bad voodoo about them. It is the process I've been following for months. I can follow this same process for other sequences and everything is fine. This has happened on two sequences in the last day. I can see both keyframes (first and last frames) in LRT.īut Lightroom says there is only the first one. (I usually don't need to read metadata as the keyframes are already there).Īnd there is the problem - I only have the first keyframe, which is the first frame. Open Lightroom 5 and view LRT full sequence in grid mode, read metadata Keyframes Wizard (which gives a simple first-frame and last-frame as the keyframes) But Lightroom does not recognize that second keyframe designation, though it does see the frame. I can see both frames noted with the blue diamond in LRT. Lightroom is only recognizing the first keyframe created in LRT, which is first frame of the sequence, and not recognizing the final keyframe, which is the last frame of the sequence. Searched the forums and haven't found similar issue.ĭoing basic workflow in LRT 3.2.1 to Lightroom 5.
