LRTimelapse: A powerful tool for creation of time lapse videos with support for editing, keyframing, grading and rendering tasks

LRTimelapse is an advanced piece of software aimed at artists and professional photographers and film makers to help them create high quality time lapse videos. It fully supports editing, keyframing, grading and rendering tasks, plus integration with Adobe Lightroom, After Effects and Camera RAW.

There are tons of parameters included in LRTimelapse, but the tooltips offer a succint description for each to help you get started. Also, there are various online tutorials provided, for the shortest learning curve possible.

Once you’ve imported the files/folders you want to process through LRTimelapse, you can work with them in the preview panel, but also play/stop the current animation, search for a position in the keyframes and enable the zoom mode.

After you click on a folder, the program generates a list with all detected images, with related information for each one, like filename, size, date/time, aperture, shutter speed and more. The application lets you edit thr Adobe Lightroom RAW development parameters to improve video quality. Furthermore, users can deflicker time lapse videos, and make beautiful day to night transitions using the Holy Grail Workflow.

The folder containing your time lapse image sequence can be opened in Adobe Bridge, where you can edit the development settings for the photos and export them as a JPG sequence. For finishing and rendering a sequence you can then use Adobe After Effects, which supports all XMP data provided by LRTimelapse.
