Macbook pro Arena4.2.0 crash

Post by Gim »

Hello!

Last night I was VJing with a 1280x480 composition,
meanwhile recording with Syphon Recorder, using advanced output to projector.
at most 20 clips in each decks,
almost all clips are DXV3 codec, only 9 clips are DXV2.2.
At the same time the cleaning app Dr. Cleaner is on, I was wondering if I should turn it off when VJing. :?:

When opening 3 or 4 layers, toggling AB fader and fast changing clips of layer1 and layer2,
Resolume suddenly shut down and last night it shut down 2 times!
However NOT every time when I do this it will crash!

Today I tried many times with the same setup, it shut down only once.
Please check the attached photo. It seems that my memory is still enough?
I will have a gig the day after tomorrow and I am worried.
Thank you for any help! :|

I use Macbook pro
OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
CPU:2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

Considering you've got a MacBook Pro with just the Intel GPU you might be asking it to do too much.

Also I would definitely turn off all processes that are not essential to your VJing.

Thank you!
Would you please give me some guide about turning off those processes?
I was wondering how to turn them off. Should I go to Activity Monitor and force quit them?
There are so many processes in Activity Monitor. What processes can be turned off and what processes can't while VJing?

Every time I use 1920*1080 composition and play any kind of 1920*1080 DXV codec clips with only 2 layers,
not only the results in the output window but the whole Resolume interface starts to lag and thus becomes hard to use :(
(The fps still shows 50~70 but the output window looks so slow)
Strangely, when it has output to a projector, the problem seems to be solved. Resolume works almost fine. Output from the projector is good, too.:shock:
Is this because I have just the Intel GPU, too?
