Max 8.1.2 Problem including avf engine in OSX stand alone.
Below are the error messages when I try to run a stand-alone created with Max 8.
Looks like the problem is that jit.avf.engine isn't found.
I think it is already in the MAX path. How do I confirm/fix this?
Thanks in advance.
error messages:
jit.avf.engine: unable to load object bundle executable

Reason: image not found
jit.movie: could not load avf video engine
jit.movie: could not allocate object
Dimmed jit.movie.
The problem must be that somehow I'm not including the avf engine.
This runs perfectly as a collective, on my computer.
But it won't run as an app.
I see that the jit.movie is dimmed when I compile the app--obviously that's the problem.
A little test app is below. Anyone able to help?
Showing the dimmed jit.movie:
I've made the simplest of patches: one object: jit.qt.movie.
Max preference is set to avf for a video engine.
jit.qt.movie is functional when loaded into Max.
It gets dimmed (brown in screen grab below) when I try to create a collective or app.
Error message says it can't locate the jit.avf.engine. But now it is part of MAX, so how is it not in the path?
I'm not a beginner at MAX/MSP/Jitter, but this seems like a beginner's problem.
Anyway, please help if you can. Have gone through documentation, many iterations, reboots etc.

thanks for the report, I'll check it out.
Thanks Rob! Looks like I got a live one. Or a dead one, as the case may be.
Thanks very much for the quick turn-around.
For those others who may pass this way... :
Hi Robert,
Thanks for contacting us. The issue you're experiencing is due to an unfortunate bug that was introduced in 8.1.2. The only current workaround is to downgrade to 8.1.1. You can download that version from here: https://akiaj5esl75o5wbdcv2a-maxmspjitter.s3.amazonaws.com/Max811_191112.dmg
My apologies for the inconvenience. Hopefully we'll have this bug fixed in a future update.
best,
Ashley
I've run into same issue with a standalone i built today - just letting C74 folks this isn't isolated.
Thanks, James!
same thing happened to me ，is there any update？:(
I followed Rob's advice and moved to the previous version, which is working for me.
Best, Robert
Hi Robert,
Thank you a lot! I will try it.
