HI I'm running version 2.8 on MacBook Pro. does this version have the qAnimation plugin and if so how do I find or install it?
many thanks
Ariel

Well, I believe it should be shipped with this version (Andy - the MacOS guy - should confirm this).

If yes, then it should appear in the 'Plugins' menu, and it should also be listed in the 'Help > About Plugins' list.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the reply. I can see it in the plugins folder in the computer but it doesn't appear in the program itself (screen grab attached). how does one install it?

Do you seen an error in the Console? (somewhere at the beginning, just after you start the program)

yes, now I see that I'm getting this (file attached)

Okay we will have to report this to Andy then.

Ok. Thanks so much.

Which 2.8 beta are you using?

I kind of need the rest of that error... Can you please download the latest beta (beta5), run it, and copy-paste that entire red line here?

I'm looking at the libs and don't see the issue, but it looks to be related to the ffmpeg that is packaged by homebrew.

(BTW - QCANUPO_PLUGIN_DLL.dll is a windows library and won't work on the Mac.)

Hi, on my CC version it says 2.8.0, i tried downloading the new version but the download keeps failing once it gets to the end, I'll try later again.
attached here is the full text from my console

thank you

Ok - I fixed the download. Sorry about that.

Please try beta5 when you get a chance. I see a "developer" path in that error message which means I need to do some extra work for the ffmpeg libs.

I think I've fixed them all in beta5...
