Advanced setting crushes

Post by oogie »

I am using MacBook Pro M1 14 INCH 32 GB RAM

Now I have the same issue going on with all the Macs I ever used with resolume. on all versions....

I am running version 6 and thinking about 7 but this keeps me hanging.

Every time I just touch the "Draw" option, either on polygon or a mask, resolume crushes.

It so happens that I worked on styles where I don't need them, but every now and then I do...
So I finally decided to ask about this thing.

why is it going on?

Apple is unfortunately dropping openGL support gradually with each new OSX version, so we're seeing issues reported starting from Big Sur with Resolume 6.
The latest OSX version I can recommend for Resolume 6 is Catalina.

We offer discounted upgrades from v6 to v7.
If you bought your license from us, you can find your upgrade options after logging in to your account and clicking the Upgrade button below your serial number.

Thanks mate,

Basically what you're saying is that there is no way around it. It will keep on crushing not matter what? no way of allocating more Ram to it or buying an external graphic card to use with the apple machine?

I find out I just can't draw masks at all...this means I need either to find a new computer or a new software ):

It's not about RAM or CPU, it's about the driver Apple supplies not supporting the proper opengl calls any more.

When I think about it....I had the same issue with older versions as well.
It always crushed on Mac with certain "moves"
So its nothing new I guess. Just getting worse.


By the way....
I find out there is a way around it crushing sometimes.
For some reason if you try to draw a mask when there is a video playing at one of the layers it will crush.
But...if you turn everything off, you might be able to draw a simple one. Once you have one mask drawn don't touch the "draw mask" icon again. Just copy paste you simple mask as many times as you want and add anchors to it. This way you can get as many masks without crushing Resolume. God knows why it works this way.
