Hello, I’m currently running a 2020 iMac with 8GB Ram and a 3.1 GHz 6-core processor. Dedicated graphics card is an AMD Radeon Pro 5300, 4 GB.
I can record audio with the VCV REC module but I can’t record video. I’ve changed as many of the settings as I can and it still happens the same way. As soon as I press record, it starts to stutter badly. The output file is garbage too. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a large patch or just a few modules. Any thoughts?
Not sure I can help, but I am able to produce ok quality vids with an inferior system to yours except my RAM is 32gb. I am doing this with a 2-core i3, and NO dedicated gpu just the integrated graphics. I have to suspect there is something not set up to vcv-rack’s needs in your gpu. Have you tried disabling the gpu and forcing vcv-rack to use integrated graphics (which I assume is there)?
Things to try.
Can you tell me how to do that? I’m not sure how…
Thanks for these tips. Unfortunately none of them worked. Regarding the “unofficial version”, did I install the correct one?
Nothing seemed to change regarding REC’s behavior. Is there another screen recording module I could try?
No, I’ve never had a gpu. Try looking on youtube for a diy vid on bypassing the dedicated gpu or enabling the integrated one.
I’ve never got the VCV recorder to work properly with video my 2017 iMac - it just brought everything to a halt.
You are better off using QuickTime to record your screen. Or try OBS.
If you do a search you’ll find other threads about this issue.
Thanks, Steve. This is sort of what I was thinking. I wasn’t sure if there was a newer workaround.
Is this a bug we can submit?
Well you could, but I don’t think any changes are going to be made to V1 before V2 comes out so probably little point.
