record button unresponsive

[vollrath]

i'm not sure why but today it just stopped working i've recorded once before a few weeks ago and it was fine but for some reason the record button is unresponsive?

i can click it and it will turn green with a black dot but no red dot for recording.

anybody know what to trouble shoot for this?

i couldnt find anything about it in the search

though this may have been answered alrdy

Do you have "record video" box checked in preferences?

[vollrath]

yes it is

this also happened on my old macbook but i just ignored it but now i really need it to apply effects to these finished clips

maybe i dont have the right drivers ?

i'm running a

asus z9pe-d16 server board

xeon E5 2620 x 2

nvidia Quadro K5000

128g ram

solid states hhd

resolume arena

the whole thing is liquid cools and never gets hot and is kept in an ac closed enviorment
i'm pretty sure my system is capable of recording

A few questions for you:
- How big is your composition (pixel size and number of layers)?
- Have you tried to record with a small composition?
- Which version of Resolume are you running?
- Have you tried to uninstall it and reinstall it.

Keep in mind that Resolume is a 32-bit application so even though you've got 128GB of RAM it's limited to4GB so if you are running a large composition, you may be running out of memory.

Joris, when Resolume runs on a 64-bit OS, is the GPU part of the 4GB limitation or is separate?

oddly enough this morning when i opened up the same composition to try your ideas out it just worked... i dont know why but i did accomplish the recording i needed so but am clueless to how

the comp is 1280x720 4 layers 6 sound driven effect parameters and two not.

Sometimes, computers do need rest as well

Your comp seems pretty small so there shouldn't be any problems with the recording. Any idea if you have any other taxing processes when the recording was not working?
