NUMEROUS build problems (w/ fixes)

David A. Gatwood — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:42:41 -0000

This thing won't even build anymore without several dozen minor fixes.

There must be thirty different places where the capitalization of "QuickTime/QuickTime.h" is wrong in this project. Sometimes it is written as "Quicktime/Quicktime.h", one time it was "Quicktime/quicktime.h", etc.

There's also one case of mis-capitalization of "IOKit/IOKitLib.h".

There are also two capitalization mistakes for "Cocoa/Cocoa.h".

Also, in MIMixerController.mm, MITimePaletteController.mm, and ZzVerbose.mm you need to add "#include <sys/time.h>" somewhere near the top because gettimeofday is no longer defined without it.

Also, MoreFilesX.c appears to redefine the function FSVolumeMount with an incompatible prototype. I had to #ifdef out the function in MoreFilesX.c and the matching prototype in MoreFilesX.h.

With those changes, it builds. I haven't tried it yet, but... wow, what a mess.

Unable to export - exception -1309

effemmeffe — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:25:58 -0000

I tried to export a video using external AVI codec, it takes a long long time so I let HE-AV to run along the night.
In the morning I got the following error:
Exception raised in /User/alain/sourceForge/hyperengine/Projects/HAVOSX/../../Source/MI/MIApplicationController.mm at line 1602 : Unknown Exception : -1309

And non AVi file was present.
This problem is sistematic.

Any help?

Unable to launch my build

Pierre Rudloff — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:04:24 -0000

I've compiled 1.6.1 on my Intel Mac with OS 10.4.11 but when launching it, it crashs and I got the following errors in the system's console :

Projects can't be opened

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 23:27:06 -0000

I started new project. Importet clips and edited and saved several times. Everything went as usual till I quit the program. When I came back to continue working HyperEngine HyperEngine could not open the project anymore. Program starts as usual but when I try to open the project this kind of error message appears:
The document "example.HAV" could not be opened.

If I manage to open the project (very rare) and make even a small change, move a clip on a timeline for an example, this kind of error message will appear:
Exception raised in /P4/arboretum/HAV/Source/Arme/TArmeMasterMovie.cpp at line 1114 : Unknown Exception : -2009

Same thing with every project no matter if it is a large or a small one.

Problem occurred first time in the late October 2007 or during November 2007. I haven't installed any new programs during that time. Can some automatic system update cause that kind of problem?

moving synced clips causes two problems

Robert Purser — Mon, 29 May 2006 03:07:34 -0000

When you select and move a video clip plus the sound clip (which was
originally part of the video clip), two problems occur:

1. First, the audio and the picture move to the same location. Then
the picture clip (and probably also the audio clip) jump to the next
available sample. In the case of the picture, it jumps to the nearest
frame (backwards or forwards, as the case may be.) The audio clip
probably jumps to the next audio sample which is extremely tiny
compared to the jump of the picture.

This tiny bug is probably the most annoying in HyperEngine (when
editing a scene with sync sound.) Here is why!

When you move one clip along the timeline, this bug does not seem
significant. This is easy to live with.

But then you move a second (third, and forth film clip), suddenly, this
becomes a great problem. When the second clip is butted against the
first clip, there is always a gap in the audio or the picture. 25% of the
time, this unnatural gap creates a missing frame (blank frame) between
the two butted clips.

This is NOT good. Any way you try to fix this problem moves the
audio/picture sync that much more out of alinement.

2. However, there is another bug which masks this first bug. Instead
of completely jumping to the nearest frame, the picture of the sound
clip are lengthened somewhat. This is physically impossible in the real
world. Therefore, this is really not good.

Both bugs need to be fixed before any sync sound editing can be done
using dramatic scenes with scripted dialog. It just gets too messy
trying to do it with the current software. This might be the smallest
bug but it really is a show stopper for serious editing.

Bad refresh during playback

Robert Purser — Sat, 20 May 2006 12:04:04 -0000

When playing back a project at 100% which has lots of clips, the refresh at
the playhead begins to produce garbage. This happens even if there is
only one row of clips.

Even on a G5 2.0, the refresh is not fast enough during scrolling along
with the playback. The first icon of the picture appears black instead of a
picture. The rest are blank. Then, at the playhead, the refresh is black
blobs instead of pictures. HyperEngine does not know that it is not
receiving information fast enough so it refreshes with garbage (usually a
series of tiny verticle black retangles.)

Snap to Horizonal Lines does not work.

Robert Purser — Sat, 20 May 2006 11:58:00 -0000

The Snap to Horizonal Lines for the Grid does not work. If you select this
feature, without selecting to display the Horizontal OBJECT lines, the snap
feature for the GRID seems to be completely turned off.

Plays wrong audio clip...

Robert Purser — Sat, 20 May 2006 11:54:22 -0000

With synced sound productions (containing both picture and sound in
sync) about once every two hours of working, HyperEngine will play the
wrong audio clip (or possibly the right clip but at a different time in the
clip). The workaround is to save, quit, and reopen HyperEngine. Then the
same clip plays correctly.

Mute clips do not un-mute...

Robert Purser — Sat, 20 May 2006 11:51:06 -0000

Occasionally, audio clips which have been muted and then un-muted will
not play. They remain muted. The workaround is to solo the audio clip.
That caused the un-muted audio to begin playing. Then turn off the solo
and the clip is plays properly.
