I am trying to demo gforce and soundspectrum darkroom to output video files and when trying to select the "engine" in darkroom, gforce is grayed out....

Any help?

Gforce 2.7
Mac G4 Dual 1.25 MDD
OS 10.3.8

You'll need to update GF to 2.8. That's the only way Darkroom will work properly.

I'm sorry I made a mistake it is version 2.8 of G-Force

Still grayed out

Selected a Mp3 file, selected a g-force script from the included examples folder, when to select the engine and G-Force 2.8 is still grayed out.

These are all demos, I will gladly buy them if it works and outputs DV via quicktime.

Hi Blearyeyes,

To use Darkroom, you need to be using the most recent version of both G-Force (2.8) and Darkroom (1.3.6). As for selection of the "engine" you will want to select the "G-Force for iTunes.bundle" file that is located in the following folder: \Library\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins\G-Force\.

If you are interested in commercial use, please email us. Darkroom output is otherwise restricted to personal / non-commercial use as indicated in our end user license agreement.

Regards,
Key

Since it goes without saying that QT is necessary to run Darkroom, I would certainly assume that you'd need to make sure you have the latest QT build...BTW, talking to me about codecs will most likely generate a terminally puzzled facial expression similar to the one my dog makes whenever she hears my dad's voice on the answering machine and he's not in the room.

I'm not sure whether you'd need QT Pro or the plain-Jane version only, tho. Maybe that's not important.

I'm sorry for all the confusion guys but I am a pro video producer and I have QT pro on this system along with Final Cut Pro.

ALL I really need to know is why would the G-Force iTunes plug-in be grayed out when I try to select it from within the Darkroom application?

If we could figure that behaviour out then I could try out this application and at that point we could talk about using it or not in video production.

But it is premature to discuss your license agreement if I cant get it to work? Ya think?

i tried to select the bundle but maybe that was before I updated it to from 2.7 to 2.8? I'll try it again.
