Hey there,

I just noticed that there seems to be a major performance loss for quartz compositions in versions 2.53 & 2.54

2.52 is still fine, quartz comps play full speed, but it looks like in the newer versions, I only get about 10fps no matter what composition I use, even very simple ones.

All preferences are the same in all versions, I'm on a mac book pro 2.0, 2BG of ram, ATI radeon x1600 256mb, os 10.4.9

Thanks

Adam

What version of Quicktime are you using ?

Yves.

7.1.5 pro

7.1.5 pro

There is a problem with this QT version which forces us to turn off CoreVideo acceleration in this context. Apple knows about this problem and hopefully they will release a fix soon.

In the meantime, the only solution would be downgrade to 7.1.3.

thanks for the info

Hello !

Is Quicktime 7.1.3 still the one to use or is 7.1.6 ok ?

m.

Back on 7.1.3, i had trouble with multiprojection with 7.1.6.
I'm on Mac Pro 2.66Ghz - 5 Giga RAM - HD RAID 0 - QT 7.1.3 - M8 2.5.4

where can i get qt 7.1.3 ? cant find it on apple.com
i have a brandnew macpro with qt 7.1.5 installed...

dont be afraid of quicktime, I don't know what's the matter with it but I use the laste version of quicktime and don't see any problems... but maybe it happens with things I don't use in modul8...

what Mac have you got? G5 or Mac Pro? Isn't multiprojection broken ?

I have a mac book pro actually, and I don't use multiprojection... I'm running the last version of mac OS and last version of modul8 and the latest version of quicktime.

It was working fine with a single projection for me, but not on multi projection. Maybe it's because i had 3 Nvidia cards and 1 ATI.Does anyone use multiprojection with quicktime 7.1.6? does it work? Anyway, Yves told me that multiprojection was broken under 7.1.6 as you can see down there.

You were right, multiprojection is broken under QT V7.1.6. I'll try to find a workaround asap.
