Create new sequence crash

 

1. Start Aurora

2. Create New

3. Give sequence title

4. Give Author

5. Select MP3 from aurora's auio dir

6. Select JPG from aurora's root

7. Import channels from another (YES)

 

All of the progress bars go by, close, then nothing more.

When I mouseover where the audio would be, it does not clear out the notes as I move around.

The aurora process is 100% CPU

Channels finnaly showed up on mouseover.

I tried to add lights but they did not show.

I accepted light changes, and then the audio was displayed.

Cannot play.

selected a start location, cannot play audio.

selected a play section, cannot start audio.

When to View -> Properties

Cancel.

 

Aurora just closes. No errors. Just gone. There is a *ding*. Like the XP, you can't do that ding.

 

I'll do some testing and see if I can determine what causes the lockup.

I changed it from 0->100 to 100->0, then update didn't do anything, couldn't close the window. nthing, no escape, nothing.

 

I went into task manager and killed the app, on start, I have the same thing that I started with. Won't load the audio, won't play.

 

Saw another bug.

1. Start Aurora

2. Create New

3. Cancel

 

Aurora exits without any error.

 

I've just had another oddity. I was sequencing perfectly for an hour, then I sat back and watched TV for ~10 min? When I went back to Aurora, it was at 100% cpu utilization.

The only thing that I did in that time was read some posts here and watch some tv.

I bet that after I kill Aurora, I'll have my original problem again and I'll have to reboot.

 

BUT, let me reitterate, that I am happy with Aurora, and it is much better than most other EARLY version 1 software that I've seen. There's no huge time crunch. You're busy fixing. My issures are small and not widespead. I know how it goes.

 

I got that same decomp lockup like 4-5 times today while opening my sequence.   It took 2 reboots to clear it the 1st time. Wierd thing is that I could click on everything, the pull down menus, the draw function switched to the draw screen even with the decomp locked in place.  the program wasn't locked up.    The last time it happens, I got up and came back like 5 minutes later and it finished what ever it was doing and the sequence was open.
