Darkroom

Post by John van Hulst »

Hi all of you,

I own a Windows PC, want to use G-Force and Darkroom in a music video, but unfortunately Darkroom is not yet a Windows program. I experimented with screen grabbers, but that isn't a success, to say the least... But: I have a neighbour with an Apple (OS X)! So I asked him if he could make a Quicktime movie on his Mac for me...

Well, you understand I don't know very much (better: nothing) about a Mac, and my neighbour doesn't know very much about programs like G-Force and Darkroom. At least ITunes is installed on his Mac, as I could see (is ITunes needed?).
So we downloaded Darkroom and Darkroom wanted an 'engine'. Reading this site I found out this means G-Force or maybe Whitecap must be installed. So we downloaded G-Force for ITunes (with Panther?) and tried to install it. We didn't succeed to get G-Force working and neither I or he knows why!

Could someone give me a detailed description what steps I must follow to get Darkroom working? Probably first how to get G-Force working... Please bear in mind that, although I consider myself an experienced Windows user, I know nothing about OS X.

Thanks in advance!

I would try to make sure of two things:

1. That you have the latest version of Darkroom (1.3.5) installed.

2. That you have the latest version of the OS X operating system (Mac OS 10.3.6).

Naturally, it makes sense to have the latest builds of WhiteCap and G-Force available, too.

As long as you're certain you've done these steps, there shouldn't be a problem from there on. But if there is, do let us know.

Well i think we should all just badger andy till he churns out Darkroom for windows :)

Well not really but i just wonder why it was never given a pc release seeing as Quicktime is available on PC to and its quicktime it uses for encoding right ?

la la la :)

So I upgrade to Gforce gold and try and find out how to record my visualizations.

I'm a bit disapointed to find after reading this thread that it's only available for mac Image



Even so, it's still kickass! Image

dont be upset, it never has been available for pc.

But there are some nice programs for pc to grab audio and video, just dont have the same creative control.

Still we dont know whats in geforce 3 as of yet. :)
I'll come to bed once i've seen everything in G-Force.
