Issue: jit.qt.movie’s “flatten inplace” makes Max very unstable and
inevitably leads to crash.

Please see link to patch for example. Try writing a few movies – one
or two may not trigger the crash.

OS X 10.4.9, Max 4.6/Jitter 1.6.3 (with new Jitter framework from
inc. updates)

I’m hoping that someone else can confirm this? I have been having
laptop problems recently and I am not sure if this is the cause, or
if it is just my bad luck. The patch is probably a useful example of
how to record, then trim and flatten a movie…

Thanks in advance,
Evan

I’ve had some trouble with the inplace attribute before, my patch not saving at all when there is no file already in place. I can recall i wasn’t able to reproduce every single time, but the whole thing doesn’t feel good. At the moment, i’m not using it at all even though it would come in handy.

g5 dual 2.5 ghz, osx 10.4.10, max 4.6.3, jitter 1.6.3 rc1.

i will have to try and find a way around this.

best
