The very same clips that work perfectly on the previous version are chocking on the new one.

I use Powerbook 1.64 runing OS Tiger

What happens?

I too find that the new version is slower than the previous ones. Just a couple of movie clips loaded and they start to stutter. Anyone else ?

Me Too.

I just upgraded to Tiger and launched 2.5 for the first time. I loaded a set and it was the worst performence I have ever seen.

there is a weird thing happening...when i launch a project from version 2, the clips chock....when i load the very same clips on a new project, everything seems to be ok...

go figure...

I've not been so lucky. I dragged a handful of clips into a new project and it still choked.

Chokes here too. Check your memory usage - use 'activity monitor' and report here what the application's actual/virtual memory usage is. Mine pretty much saturates memory with only a handful of short clips, which isn't supposed to happen.

What versions of M8 are you all using please - i.e. 2.5.0 or 2.5.1 or 2.5.2? thanks

None of the 2.5.x versions have worked well for me; on long VJ sets I still use 2.0.2.

None of the 2.5.x versions have worked well for me; on long VJ sets I still use 2.0.2.

Same here - 2.0.2 on an iBook G4 OSX 10.4.8 is the only sure way at the moment for me.

2.5.0 & 2.5.2 both choke very quickly, 2.5.2 can even get hung up totally and resists force quitting with a vengance.

I've just finished a week long series of workshops with M8 in action all day every day -
on tuesday & wednesday afternoons the last group of the day had every layer of their set 'lock-up' in 2.5.0.
The other layer sets they had ready to go also showed 'loading' but never did.
Thursday and friday have gone swimmingly on 2.0.2

What the heck is beta 3 ??

beta, version 3. (versions before official release)

Did some 9 hours gigs with it without problems. Got a big one 2morrow. Still not sure with one to use. I think the first official release of 2.5 seems okay... 2.5.2 is

If someone has the answer which one is the best, please post it !

So that's what beta means, thanks, I had been wondering about that for ages!

Just for interest, why are you using a 'version before official release' which I guess must be 3 years old now?
Didn't we get version 1 of Modul8 in the middle of 2004 or something?!

If someone has the answer which one is the best, please post it !

Somebody did - either go with answer one:

None of the 2.5.x versions have worked well for me; on long VJ sets I still use 2.0.2.

or answer two:

2.0.2 on an iBook G4 OSX 10.4.8 is the only sure way at the moment for me.

Intel machine here, so no 2.0 for me... (2,5 is intel update..

Hi,
sorry if i ask you, but where do you find the 3 beta version?

Beta is not here of course after an offical release,,,,
I found out it was no difference about the versions 2.5./(beta whatever) or the official release 2.5.0
It was about running 2.5 on a old not intel imac machine. There are more posts about this on the forum..
