Navigate to the folder with your time lapse sequence. On the bottom lefthand side of the interface, you’ll see your file tree. A succinct explanation of each one is displayed when you briefly hover over it with the mouse. These are organized in a row to be read off from left to right. The workflows are housed under different tabs, and only the relevant buttons are displayed for you to select from at any given time. LRTimelapse offers a number of different workflows for different editing situations. For its part, loading a sequence is always carried out by going to the file tree at the bottom left of the LRTimelapse user interface. To begin working with the sequence, it doesn’t matter whether you have used the LRTimelapse importer, or have imported it through Lightroom or copied it by using the explorer/finder. In the following descriptions of the workflows, I’m assuming that you already have your sequence saved to the hard drive. For me, it has always proved useful in practice because it simplifies and speeds up the import and sorting of large amounts of data. If you already have the sequence(s) on your hard drive, you won’t need it at all, naturally. Using the LRTimelapse importer is of course completely optional. Furthermore, it creates the necessary preview images right at the time of import. The LRTimelapse importer is an option that offers several useful functions, such as automatically naming sequences in chronological order, converting into DNG format, and automatically initializing the sequence immediately after it has been imported. This is then appropriate if you have not yet manually or with the Lightroom import function had the sequence copied to your hard drive. Using this you can import your sequence directly from the memory card. Under File | Import you can start the LRTimelapse importer from within LRTimelapse. Using the standard workflow as an example, I’ll go on to explain the basics of LRTimelapse straightaway. This means that everything has been correctly installed. Now go ahead and start up LRTimelapse and check if the symbols for “ExifTool” and “ffmpeg” on the upper righthand side are displayed in green. Next, select and drag the LRTimelapse Symbol to the right, into the “Applications” folder (“ Drag LRTimelapse 3 icon here!”). The very first time you might have to right-click on to the icon and then choose “open” to be able to agree once to the gate keepers warning in newer MacOS versions. First off, double-click on “ LRTimelapse Add-ons,” to the left, and follow the installation program’s instructions. On a Mac: Open the downloaded DMG file.It’s available under the following link: (please uninstall all previous versions of Java beforehand).

Once you’re ready to start, the very first thing to do is to navigate to where you’ll download the program, available from the site as a free test version and then continue on to the installation process.
