Twitter quartz tweets don't show up when rendering

djBern

Looks like tweets don't get saved to the MixEmergency performance file. When rendering, I only see the blue bar. Is there any way to save the tweets for rendering?

something must be wrong. when i record, the tweets show up. example:

Nyce, are you also using the latest version? (2.1.0.23)

With Quartz Compositions there are certain things can't be recorded using MixEmergency. Essentially, this is any parameter that MixEmergency has not passed along to one of its Quartz Composition's supported inputs. For example, if you were to use the Video Input patch to display a video feed from a camera, then that will not be recorded.

Thanks Nick, so do you think Nyce is recording a different way, like screenflow?

Nick

No, it's probably just showing recent tweets - not the exact same ones that were there during recording..

yep that makes sense. since recording doesn't actually record any video. when rendering it's getting the tweets in realtime. so if if you don't have any @ tweets or any tweets with the hastag used or no tweets in the last 12 hours, nothing will be displayed. i recommend not to use the twitter feed while recording unless you are trying to show it off. because the results when rendering are unpredictable (for instance twitter could be down). also i only use the ME recording feature to record.

Thanks. Yea, I wanted to show it off :-)

It's not so bad using the Twitter feed while recording, as you can always disable it before exporting the mix (there's an option to disable the different overlay types on the export window).
