Preferences

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this to possibly save others the headaches and frustration I was encountering until a minute ago.

PROBLEM: Whenever I had a Capture patch embedded in a composition (about 90% of the time in my case), I couldn't safely restart the viewer -- 95% of the times QC would just stop responding or even crash. Luckily KinemeCore tried to auto-save the composition (thanks for that!) so I didn't really lose much work. However, I did feel losing a lot of time, self-confidence and maybe even karma with all those crashes.

SOLUTION: So, after a looooot of trial and error I found out it was the QCAsynchronousQCView that I (accidentally?) checked in the extended preferences that was bothering my system. After unchecking this and a restart of QC I didn't have any trouble.

N.B. Probably someone else here can better explain the actual reason for this trouble. I know these options are all unsupported, for advanced users and "at own risk" and all, but at least I'm hoping someone else with similar trouble will now find this post. I know I would have liked that :)

A made two new Presets in Preferences for the Viewer Dimensions. One actual pixel size the other aspect ratio using same pixels. When I open the composition it defaults to the actual dimensions even when I save the comp with Viewer set to the aspect ratio Preset.

Is there a way to get aspect ratio preset to stick in QC? Also Kineme's QC App Builder can lock a comp to either of these can't it?

These two comps should be one fixed & one aspect.

I tried assigning Cmd+Opt+"," to the K Menu>KinemeCore Preferences… no joy. I even tried Cmd+"K"!

Looks like the K menu is a colourful non-conformer to Apple UI Guidelines ;)

I'm often switching the "Viewer to float" on and off depending on other apps, situation etc, shortcut compliance would be nice next time KinemeCore gets an update
