Yesterday I used v3 with my MacBook Pro and noticed a couple of bugs.
First the specifications:
MacBook Pro
13-inch 2017
2,5 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB RAM
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
Software
Modul8 outputs to Syphon and in the software Vuo (
https://vuo.org/) I fetch the Syphon signal apply a mask, add a logo and then I output it to the projector via VGA cable.
I was using mostly PhotoJPG videos and a couple of PNGs (without Alpha transparency)
Size of the loops ranged from 10 to 500 MB.
Bug #1: Strange glitches over the interface
If I remember correctly these glitches also moved when I moved the interface window. So they were kind of "glued" to the position they had on the interface window.
Resolved through: Restart of Modul8
Bug #2: Name of the currently selected video loop disappeared from the individual layer.
Here you can see the following:
- Preview mode "Group Inv"
- Currently active Group: Group A
- In Group B there is only one selected loop: "468613818"
- Pixel FX "Saturation" and "Contrast"
- The name of the selected loop is not shown in the layers
Resolved through: Restart of Modul8
Bug #3: The still image PNGs where not played and showed only as black still image.
Even totally removing them from the media library and re-adding them did not solve the problem.
Resolved through: Restart of Modul8
Bug #4: Crash of Modul8 when I change something in Vuo
Now it gets a bit tricky but let's try it:
In Vuo I apply not only a mask but I also overlay a logo.
When I change something in the Vuo composition (e.g. connect or disconnect cables) Modul8 sometimes completely crashes.
Bug #5: Saturation "B&W" does not get applied
I applied "Saturation" and "Contrast" to this layer and suddenly the saturation knob was completely ignored.
Bonus behaviour I noticed (Not sure if it is a bug):
If I load a lots of new video loops into the media library the live video signal completely freezes for a couple of seconds.
As far as I remember, none of the above bugs appeared in V2.
I don't know if this posting is the right place to post this bugs, so just let me know if I should post/report them elsewhere.
Cheers,
