LlamaEnc2 on Mac

Could be this:

mysterious download link

but I'd need someone with a mac to confirm. Anyone out there wanting to give it a try?

In the zip there should be an app that will... just.. run. Maybe. Version of OSX depending. Probably needs an Intel CPU. Might need Snow Leopard. I dont know.

It's Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

Thank you!

I'm surprised it got as far as it did.

ProRes 422 support in ffmpeg (which is the fallback decoder) is still really shaky. It's particularly complicated because in addition to the decoding it then needs to be converted from a 10bit planar format to an 8bit one (causing banding problems and other such horrors).

Unless version 1.0.2 helps (it might, I did update ffmpeg at one point), I don't think that codec will work yet so you'd need to either re-export in a different format or use a different compression tool.

Thanks for the info. I'd no idea ProRes was so problematic. It makes the prettiest files I'd ever seen, so naturally...

Let me know when the new version of 1.0.2 is up and I'll give it a go.

I doubt it will fix your problem, but I'd appreciate feedback on whether you can get it to run at all :D

Llamaenc knows nothing of quicktime so it entirely uses open source decoders for any qt stuff... and the open source community just haven't gotten round to writing a good decoder for ProRes.

Nope, it didn't run. "Errors occurred".

This is bad. It means that despite following the same process I cannot make a mac package.

Macs are dumb. I give up.

Hey, your original version still works! I can also try the second release if that will help.

It will only help to a degree. If I can't establish a build process then I will not be able to update llamaenc for the mac.

Yeah. I don't know why it's not working this time. I haven't upgraded anything.

For my own vid, I am exporting a version from FCP using the PNG codec. Hopefully LlamaEnc will be okay with that. If there are other codecs you feel confident about, let me know?

Also it made an error log, which might help you, but I can't find it because it's evidently on my C drive -- I'm guessing I'll have to run Windows to locate it?

LlamaEnc export successful!

I got it working by exporting a fresh .mov using H.264 for the codec. File looks great, aspect ratio appears correct. Quicktime insists it's 640x480, as before -- not sure whether that's gonna be a problem, but I'll make a note when I upload.
