Crash on OSX Mavericks when importing footage

[JakubSporek]

Hi,

every time I try to import a footage on Mavericks into composition, Composite crashes with following error:

Composite - Fatal Error

MtThreadUNIX: Terminating on unhandled exception:
[Exception Type = N2Dl4PxEx18ExRequestCancelledE, File = internalAPI/procImp/src/pxRequestImp.cpp, Line=4750]
PxRequest cancelled.
from thread:
PxRequestMgr-117
Call stack:Call stack has not been captured.

Anyone knows the solution to this problem? (I'm having this problem since upgrading to Mavericks)

Which version of Composite? There's a lot of s/ware having issues with Mavericks so I'm not overly surprised that Composite is too.
2014 (as provided with Max 2014) is Build 9.0 - 864200, the one from the App Exchange is Build 9.0 - 909216 so quite a bit newer.

[JakubSporek]

All versions since 2013.

I tried 2013, 2014 Build # 9.0-862715 (which came with Maya) and also Exchange version (Build # 9.0-909216).

All producing exact same error.

I also tried to remove old preferences and let the new version create a new ones, but it still behaves the same 😞

Do you think there is some chance for Composite to be updated so it works with Mavericks?

[Steve_Curley]

Your guess is as good as mine on that score, I'm afraid.

Has there been ANY solution found to this.

It's so frustrating because I really want to use this software.

[JakubSporek]

The only solution I've found is to get rid of this software, as Autodesk did it already by giving it away for free, with no perspective of future upgrades.

I switched to good old Shake 4.1, which works fine on recent OSX version. I hope it will work also on the upcoming Yosemite. Shake is still great SW... better than Composite.

Thanks. I was afraid that might be the case.

Fortunately, I?m a long time Shake users. So I?ll give it a go. So disappointing what Apple did to Shake. Anyway thanks for the reply.

If anybody else has another solution I?d still love to hear it.
