Comments on: Panning a Timelapse with Lightroom and Perl http://regex.info/blog/2008-05-20/820 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

It comes with a nice user interface so no scripts are needed. I would be glad if some of you would like to test it an give me feedback.

LR3 now can also create the Video. http://www.gwegner.de/allgemein/zeitraffer-lightroom/ has a nice instruction (in German). Wouldn’t it be possible to do the samethin by a LR-plugin now?

I then found that the script mangled all jpgs apart from the first and last one. Has something really changed in LR3 to stop the script working? Thanks. J <span class='jfriedl'>The script is run outside of Lightroom, so shouldn't really be affected by the Lightroom version. It does some pretty ugly image XMP hacking, but I didn't think it would "mangle" anything. Perhaps you could send a copy of one unmangled file, and I could look into it... —Jeffrey</span> Actually, I ran this serveral times after working out I could get round the problem by listing all the filenames in full.

Any thoughts? I don't have spaces in the path name and all the jpgs are sequential. Would it be possible to add support for rotation? I can think of several cool special effects that could be done using this. :-) Many thanks. I followed the instructions (apart from installing Strawberry Perl) and I got the following error message:

I've just created a new movie by splitting the files into subfolders and running varying crops on them to mix pan and zoom and variations thereof in a test movie.. The new movie is literally only a test movie. I changed settings during the capture phase so I'm not pleased with the capture results, but it works as a sample I can try again. Now if only it could be a plugin! <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1808623" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/1808623</a> Lim,

Ended up writing my own panning script with the help of ExifTool. Thanks for the inspiration. The script is quite rough since I know nothing about the Perl. I'll try to refine it and make it a bit easier to use. Who knows...maybe someone else may find it useful. Right-o. Ended up writing my own panning script with the help of ExifTool.

I don't know anything about perl but it does look like your script requires that you have to have at least 3 arguments. There doesn't seem to be any provision for entering the sequence of images in the *.jpg format. Is there something I'm missing here? Help please Hi Jeffrey,
