Hi all, lately i loaded a movie using @engine qt and i was suspicious about the quality, so i loaded it with avf and quality was as expected. See attached images... Anybody knows how to get the engine qt to have a normal quality? Movie is APR 422, i am on a mac retina late 2013, high Sierra, max 7.3.5. Cheers!

qt-vs-avf

Ok it does not happen in 32bit. (i was using 64)

qt is much more responsive and fast when jumping around the video and playing backward.

Does it mean no qt in 64bit?

Anybody? I really would like to know something about it...

as posted in the max console whenever you load a 64 bit qt engine jit.movie object, support is deprecated and should be avoided. there are some different strategies for random seeking with the avf and viddll engines. but if 32 bit qt works best for you, then use 32 bit qt.

thanks for the reply, yes i always used 32... but because of Max4Live and also of High Sierra being the last MacOS supporting 32 bits app i am now shifting to 64. Last year i had an installation with 6 monitors running 6 video that in a certain moment had to quickly seek in the timeline, generating rhythmical events Videos were long and i did not have the best computers, they were old mac minis with a slow HD and video did not run well, so i tested all engines (+ HAP) performance with APR422 / PhotoJpeg / H264 / HAP and the winner was the good old qt with APR422, the other combinations always got a bit stuck while jumping in the movie timeline... that's why i am still hanging on QT... but this is an other topic...
