How do
I install the software after it's downloaded?
Technically there is no installation process. All you need
to do is un-zip tthe downloaded package and save
its content on your hard drive. Double click on application icon to run.

Why does the software crash while startup?
Be sure to install the latest Quicktime player before running Neuromixer Applications. It's free and you may download it here.
Because every computer has a different configuration, it is difficult to pin point the exact cause of crashing while application starting up. We suggest try running the software on another computer, or running an older version of the software.

Why is
Neuromixer software crashing often on my machine?
Crashing may caused by many factors and often difficult
to find out due to computer settings. It can be caused by driver conflicts, slow
CPU and RAM performance, or software conflicts. Please report
your problem as they arise so your problem can be resolved.
Here are things that might cause crashing:
- Latest Quicktime player not installed
- Unstable movie codec, please try to use Photo-Jpeg compression
- Audio driver conflict

Why does
the video play so slow and choppy?
If your FPS count drops below 10, your video playback will
be noticeably choppy. It takes a lot of processing power
to play video on a personal computer. There are some factors
might be the causes to slow video playback:
1.Slow CPU and graphics card
2.File or image size is large
3.Running other application at the same time
4.Applying many effects or compositing
5.Fragmented hard drive
Here are some things you can try to optimize your computer:
1.Re-render your video files to Photo-Jpeg MOV codec
2.Restart the computer before running Neuromixer
3.Limit the frame rate on of your preview windows
4.Only turn on the effects you are using
5.Use a newer computer

How to enable fullscreen mode on the extended desktop?

or press “Esc” key on your keyboard to enable
full screen mode.

When I hit “Record” button,
where are the movie files being saved to (AVmixer Pro)?
| For
Mac users: before recording, please drag and drop a
folder into the Recorder settings area. All your samples
will be saved into that folder. |
 |
For
PC users: the sampled recordings are saved inside a supplied
folder titled “recordings”. If you have changed
the folder name or moved this folder, please create a new
folder and give it the same name.

I can not hear or mix any audio, why?
Please
make sure to turn ON the audio in the Audio preferences
window, and you have the correct audio driver selected.
AVmixer can not mix MPEG compressed movie files, because the video and audio is merged into one track. Please re-render your content.
