Hi all, haven’t seen mention of it here but thought i would draw attention to it in case anyone else relies on third party export plugins (e.g. LRTimelapse).
Adobe have introduced a bug in the Lr 9 export process which breaks third party plugin exports. The export process ignores any settings specified by the third party export plugin such as file type, resizing or bit depth and instead exports with default settings.
For example, choosing LRTimelapse tiff export, a highly compressed jpg image (with tiff file extension) is created. If a resizing is specified, no resizing occurs.
Same is true for LRTimelapse jpg exports. When exporting using the plugin, a highly compressed jpg file is produced. If you had specified resizing such as to 4K dimensions, no resizing occurs and the file is exported at native dimension.
Gunther Wegner the developer of LRTimelapse has confirmed it’s an Lr 9 bug and logged with adobe. There are other 3rd party export plugin authors reporting the behaviour too.
There is a temporary work around if you have already upgrade to Lr 9, but anyone using Lightroom for a timelapse workflow involving LRTimelapse would probably be best to stick with Lr 8.4.1 until the bug is resolved.
The bug is described in more detail over on the LRTimelapse Forums Here if anyone here is working with Timelapse photography along with a temporary workaround if you have already upgraded to Lr9 and can’t roll back.
