Mercalli v6 Not Responding to "Analyse" button

AAProds wrote on 2/1/2024, 9:47 PM

Anybody having issues with the Mercalli v6 effect? Clicking the Analyse button garners no response, and when I click Edit>Analyse, Mercalli comes back with "Video Analysis failed".

Earlier, I updated my standalone v6 version to 6.0.629.

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

Hi Al.

I only have the V5 plugin but it's still working in both VPX 14 and MEP 2022. I did have a problem with the ProDad stand alone ReSpeeder earlier in the year. I re-entered the activation code and that cleared it.

Hi Al

My standalone v6 version 6.0.629 works fine,

I had to re-activate as I had not used it since I first installed shortly after v6 came out, from the Mercalli FAQ the registration/activation system has been changed.

John, mine does too. It's the Magix "Effect" that won't work for me.

I finally found the Update function and I get this:

Odd that the standalone updated OK but the plugin doesn't. Let me tinker some more.
