Possible crop actor bug...

mark

Which scenes in which file? The ones I mentioned above? Distracted Projector/Scene 1.1 has a movie and a picture, not a movie and a movie.

Best Wishes,

Actually the bug you have described above is spot on. Because if I put several triggers around and pause the movies when they are not shown and stay below I can avoid the problem.

The scenes I was referring to were: DistractedTV's Scene2, Scene 2.1 and Scene 5.1...

Actually to move back to 0f25 might not be a bad idea if it will give the video mixers back to me but I am being extremely nervous since I am going to tech on Saturday.

Thanks for all your help Mark!

Actually you can also see the video mixer bug in DistractedProjector.izz. For example if the YUV mode is disabled Scene 2 output is all distorted. It is ok on YUV mode but then I am loosing the transparency of the .png images...

Dear Bozzy,

what do you mean by "all distorted" ? I've just gone in to DistractedProjector.izz / Scene 2 again, and tried to make something not work -- but it all works as expected. (I even put Scaler actors after every picture player to change with width / height to crazy values... regardless, it always works as expected.)

I've really tried hard to recreate this bug, but I simply cannot do it. Since it doesn't seem like your media files are too big, it would be great if you could WeTransfer me all the media so I can try to sort this out.

Best Wishes,

Mark

Hey Mark,

I created a single stage patch with the same bug. It is attached...

By the way I cleaned all my patches from bugs for the show. So, I am not in a rush with this anymore but curious why I am the only one that can see this thing. :)

Thanks again for all your help.

cheers,

What should I see? I see three different images: the second one appears automatically, the third after I press 'n'.

Should I see flickering? or?

Best,

P.S. Thanks a lot for sending me the bug example -- it drives me crazy when I can't replicate a bug!

Wow, this is getting very mysterious. :) Here is what I see...

Well, could be video driver related. Tell me: in the Apple System Profiler (called "System Information" on 10.8) can you "Save" a copy of the information, .zip it, and send it to mark [atta] troikatronix [dotta] com? I'd like to look over your graphics cards and drivers. Also, if you have multiple graphics cards on that computer, I'd like to know which one was active.

I am testing this on my MacBookPro i7, (which is a much later version, MacBookPro8,2). But I may have a 4,1 around that I can try.

Thanks,
Mark

Will do... I am using a MacBook Pro (2.7 GHz Intel Core i7) (OS X 10.8.3) with no external cards. FYI...

Dear All,

Bozzy and I have been collaborating on solving this problem, and it is solved -- the new version that solves the problem will be up by May 10, 2013 at the latest.

Thank you Bozzy for all your help!
