Mac and Internal Cached Video

This applies to Mac and Stage Designer and FXServer version 5.2 and above

Problem:

Older 'internal' cached videos do not work anymore

Creating 'internal' cached videos with the Stage Designer / FXServer does not work anymore

Test:

Go to Settings -> Media -> Avi/Qt, and deselect Prefer external codecs

Open a new media file

Select Internal Codec

Error ME009 appears: Internal cached media must be cache complete. Please cache with the standalone encoder.

Solution:

Open the Video Batch Encoder

Drag the media file onto it

Press Run

Open the file in the Stage Designer again

Background:

Creating caches inside Stage Designer / FXServer is not supported any more. Also, setting a fixed cache path is not supported any more. All caches are expected in a folder aside the media files. Use the Standalone Encoder to create the caches.
