LRTimelapse 7.5 is here! A big (free) Update and a Discount for LRT 5/6 Users!

Dear LRTimelapse users!

I’ve been incredibly busy behind the scenes since the last official release. After 10 beta cycles and a lot of feedback from our amazing community, I am happy to finally announce that LRTimelapse 7.5 is officially live!

This update is the result of months of refining, fixing, and innovating. You’ll get an even smoother experience with those improvements.

I’ve packed a lot into this version (you’ll find more details and screenshots below):

  • User interface improvements and fixes
  • Workflow and stability improvements
  • Faster video rendering in many cases
  • Improved high accuracy Deflicker
  • Native OS file-chooser dialogs
  • …and much more! (see below)

Free Update

Note: LRTimelapse 7.5 is a free update for all owners of an existing LRTimelapse 7 license. The auto updater should bring you up to speed when you launch LRTimelapse next time. Otherwise, just download and install!

Special Upgrade Discount (LRT 5 & 6 Users and LRT 7 Private users who want to go Pro)

Are you still running LRTimelapse 5 or 6? Or do you have a Private license which you would like to crossgrade to Pro? Now is the perfect time to jump to the latest and greatest version. For a limited time, I’m offering a rare discount on Upgrades and Crossgrades – check the post below to to see what’s new in 7.5 and grab the discount code and get your workflow up to 2026 standards!
