Does not work for me, when I go to "download modul8 upodate" it takes me to this website http://virtual.garagecube.com/modul8V2/index-en.html that at least I could not find any beta download link...

this seems to be my original download page, as I purchased modul8 just awhile ago so maybe that is the issue.

You probably need to reload the page or clear your browser cache

Flash is still not working, at least it doesn't crash Modul8 anymore, but when trying to load a Flash clip on to a layer it just displays the Loading message but nothing happens or it plays something that doesn't look like the original flash movie.

Macbook Pro, 2.4gh, Leopard, 4 gigs RAM, quicktime 7.4.5

thanks.

Hmmm flash is working fine here

what do you think?

If you load this flash file with Safari, does it work ?

Which Flash plugin is installed on your machine ?
In Safari, Help | Installed Modules | Shockwave Flash

Could you send me this problematic file ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm now using the beta version for all my live sets so I can play .swf files with the latest QuickTime. It works ok most of the time ... but when M8 crashes [maybe 3 times per night] or I close a set and open it up again, the layers that contained swf's don't play. Iit's like the layers 'died' as I can't even load a different clip into them. I have to make a new layer for the swf's to play again, a bit of a work-around... any thoughts on this? I'm on a MacBook Pro [old one], running Tiger [OSX 10.4.11]

Some of the filters I've applied to layers don't work either after a crash.


M8 also freezes very often when I want to do a logical record that is longer than 30 seconds.

I hope the full release will be more stable, M8 is my work horse, and I really love it!

Hello eyeborg,

I'm now using the beta version for all my live sets so I can play .swf files with the latest QuickTime. It works ok most of the time ... but when M8 crashes [maybe 3 times per night] or I close a set and open it up again, the layers that contained swf's don't play.

For the crashes, do you have crashlogs ? You could find them under
/Users/login/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Modul8.crash.log

Are you able to reproduce these crashes ? Could you give us a way to reproduce these crashes so we could fix them ?

Concerning swf not playing, I could not reproduce the bug. What do you mean by "close a set" ? Save it, quit Modul8, relaunch Modul8, reload the saved .md8 file ? How many layers, what kind of movies (codec, size, fullpreload/ram preload, ...) ?

Thanks for your help.
