iPhone Time Lapse will not encode

[lawsonhouse]

I have an iPhone 12 Time Lapse that I have placed into a video. It previews fine, but it will not encode into a final product. The time lapse portion freezes and does not produce the time lapse. I'm pretty sure the sequence and encoding settings are the issue, but even when I create a sequence from the file, then encode matching the sequences settings, it produces a 98% frozen screen. What am I doing wrong here???

If this is recorded as a video file of some kind, it would need to be run through HandBrake  first to convert from VFR to CFR.

But I'm not sure what that phone does.

Thanks Neil! I did find a solution similar. I ran it through the encoder and converted the .mov file to .mxf. It seems Premiere has an easier time reading the file. I'm not sure "why" this is the case. I have encoded with time-lapses before and never had an issue. No matter the case, it does appear a file conversion is needed for the time being. Thanks for the help!

Hey I could really do with your help. My timelapse is still not exporting, I tried to convert to .mxf but that failed aswell. Can you please help?

Much Apperciated.

Give us the details on how you captured the timelapse, what your images are for format, color space & so on. As well as what you tried in converting them to mxf ... in other words, a pretty complete summation of your sequence from capture through use on the sequence.
