Hi,
can somebody tell me, if he experienced the same kind of effect. Im using Poser 4.03 + propack on a mac (mainly Os 9.22)
After updating Quicktime to version 6 (for Os 9.2) and installing OSX on a different harddisc. Poser just crashed the system after rendering a movie and closing the movie window.
Im not sure if this is because i started poser once as a classic app, while running OSX. The system -(while starting Classic) said something about that it has to re-organize some (file?)structure which should not affect the normal OS 9 mode - but maybe it did, cause for example after doing this cinema didnt find the Poser.dat and i had to reconnect the path to the poser.dat manually for making the cinema plugin working again.
Has anybody experienced the same?
Or is it maybe just the update to quicktime 6? These are the only changes i did to my system. Before doing this i had no problems. It also crash Poser if i start Poser under OSX in classic mode.
Just the rendering works fine, and i also can see the rendered movie. It only crashes when i close the movie opend in Poser. Is there a possibillity to tell poser just not to open the movie after rendering - i think this could help as well. Thanx a lot if somebody could give me an answer Chiropraktiker

Everyone using QT6 crashes when doing a movie render in Poser 4 using OS 9. Sorry no fix. If you do a search for "quicktime" over in the Macintosh topics forum you will see this has been discussed several times.

Render to an image sequence. Then use QuickTime to make that into a movie. After you do it a few times, it seems natural to do it that way. But I hope QuickTime and Poser get together some day so this will not be necessary.

i had all kinds of trouble with p4propak until i updated to OS X 10.2.6 i now run p4propack booted from OS X in classic, and it SCREAMS. not a single crash in weeks. Even with QT 6. AND i just installed MIMIC 2 Pro. ran a couple samples in mimic and moved it to poser. it couldn't have worked better.

the idea of rendering images dont really work in my case, cause im trying to do an animation with sound. I need the renders at the moment as a quick realtime-reference for checking the timeing (the neccesary postwork in Quicktime disturbs the workflow far to much). I just downgraded Quicktime back to version5. Thanks a lot Chiropraktiker
