    Has anyone tried using Livetype under 6.0.3? It doesn’t seem to work anymore… we have to export QT movies of the Livetype files to get anything to show up on the screen in FCP.

    I’d be interested in hearing what others are experiencing…

    Mitch,

    Sorry, I hate to make you feel like you’re all alone, but Livetype works here. I tested several different things including a new Livetype files and a old one too. Both worked just fine. Try trashing your prefs…

    Not true – Livetype is broken after one of the recent ProKit updates, check Apples Livetype forum for more details.

    Background textures no longer work for me and other users are having more serious problems.

    Waiting for a Apple fix I’m afraid

    Interesting have you installed ALL the latest updates because if you have it must be Intel specific.

    [Steve Connor] “have you installed ALL the latest updates”

    “Everything’s up to date in Kansas City” — The Music Man

    And here in Brentwood too…

    So, I’d hazard a guess that this issue is Intel specific.

    Any readers from Apple care to take notes???

    Yes, this is an Intel MacPro. More to the point, it’s a 2008 8-core, which were discovering is a beast all to it’s own. Not being able to mix different sized ram modules is a new twist…

    Well, this interesting. Livetype is broken on the new 8-core, but works fine on the Intel MBP 17. Both have FCP 6.0.3 and QT 7.4.5 and 10.5.2. Both have had the FCP preferences thrown out.

    Here’s where it gets fun. If I take the .ipr file from the MBP 17 that displays fine in FCP and move it to the 8-core tower, the screen is solid black… the same as when I make one in Livetype on the 8-core. Even stranger, the files made on the 8-core that don’t work, display fine on the MBP 17.

    This has to be a display issue on the 8-core, so there is one of two possibilities that I can think of. One, it’s because we have a Kona 3 in the 8-core… or two, it’s the optional custom order 8800 video card in the 8-core that Apple offers.

    I guess I’ll contact AJA and try the 5.1NDD drivers and see if that helps…

    What video card is in your 8-core… the 2600 or the 8800?
