The last few days I have had problems with M8. When I open a new or old project the "out-screen and the "preview"-screen is white. Clicking on them makes them go black. When I occasionally get a file in the "preview"-window it is a still image even if its a videoloop.

I have run a software test on my Mac, I have reset the PRAM, I have bought extra RAM,- Im getting out of ideas.

I will test my M8 on a portable PC later today, to see it my license works there.

Thanks for your help.

The graphic card you have in your mac (intel GMA 950) is a well known trouble maker with openGL… we actually cannot do anything to change this, it's a problem from this crappy cards and it's the same on mac/pc/unix… It's not even a driver problem. You'll get graphical errors on the output/preview and interface of modul8 with this crap…

Sorry about that, but the only advice I can give you is to change your computer if your budget allows that… It seems that apple changed its strategy as the macbook has NVIDIA again now.

For your groupA/B "problem", you only selected what you want to see in the preview window. If you want to output either group A or B, you have to check the fade checkboxes located in between the two layer groups, then you have a cross fader that allows to do what you were looking for.

Thanks for your quick and professional reply.

I've been twisting my head about this problem.

Might need to change my Mac.
