Sadler, The video loading issue is not specific to the particular clip. When loaded, a clip runs fine. whether any clip is allowed to load seems to be an intermittent problem. I will look closer at the system resource monitors during execution, and look at where the various bits are stored. Thanks f...

Well, back to the drawing board. I tried running 2.01b1 on the laptop, and it ran fine, once. After closing the app & reopening 2.01b1, I immediately got the failure to load video message, along with the disappearance of the video file option in the media drop-down menu. This is just after succe...

OK...same issue. I removed MAGIC from my laptop, reinstalled, and everything looked OK. The video module was there. I loaded the last file I was using prior to the reinstall, and immediately it produced the could-not-load-video file message. When I right-clicked on ADD and selected the media drop-do...

There is a story where anything could have gone wrong over the past 2 weeks. I crashed my disk. Had to re-initiate from factory default and reload all programs. Magic and others seemed to work fine.

The video file option does not appear in the add Media menu, until I reboot the computer. So, if I want...

That is what I suspected. It's easy enough to download a particular Youtube video & audio, separately, to run together in my Magic app. But I thought it would be very cool to be able to browse Youtube and use just an address to see the video in Magic.
Thanks!

Just upgraded so I could use the VideoStream feature. It works fine using the test links in the user manual. I am hoping to use it for viewing streaming web videos from sites like YouTube, etc. However, when I enter a specific YouTube video URL, the VideoStream module does not accept it. The URL dat...

Hi Eric, I am using Magic to create images of recorded songs. I want to get the most accurate image of what I hear as the music plays. I am using a waveform to drive several parallel threads of geometry, each the same except for frequency band. The result is an image that changes with the audio spec...
