  • 5.01 is the latest Studio Artist 5 version. If you have 5.0 as opposed to 5.01, you can get 5.01 downloads in your personal myaccount at synthetik.com.

    We're not aware of any win 10 issues. We use it here without any issues with SA V5. if you feel there is something we need to know about associated with win 10, you can start a tech support ticket and tell us what you are running into.

    • Hello Synthetic Software,

      I am very interested in your statement that "We're not aware of any Win 10 issues". My Studio Artist 4 did not survive my upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Apparently Quicktime did not survive the W8.1 to W10 update on my system. I am under the impression that Apple no longer supports Quicktime on Windows. I am also under the impression that there is a serious security issue with Quicktime on Windows. I was hoping that Studio Artist 5 would not require Quicktime by having its own coding for that function, but apparently that is not the case.

      I own a non-functioning version of Studio Artist 4. I am on your email mailing list, and received the notification of Black Friday upgrade discounts via the email from Candice. I believe that 25% code SABF25 expires today, and so be that. I would be willing to pay the full upgrade price if Studio Artist 5 were functional on my system, although the Quicktime problems would be a concern.

      I don't know of a competitive special effects video product on Windows systems, so there should be a significant market for Studio Artist on Windows. There should be financial motivation for removing the Quicktime dependency from Studio Artist. But I am currently curious about your statement that "We're not aware of any Win 10 issues". I seem to be painfully aware.

      • Version 5 runs on windows without quicktime installed. You lose quicktime movie file read/write capability if it's not installed. But you can still work with tiff, jpeg, png, etc images.

        You can install quicktime for windows on win 10 computers. We do it here, and we have many customers who do it as well. Don't install the browser plugins (this is off as the default setting in the installer), and don't download quicktime files from the web and then open them, and you should be fine.

  • I just checked the downloads section of my account, 5.01 Isn't In the downloads scetion.

    • Can you start a tech support incident for that. Then the appropriate person can check your myaccount and see what the issue is with it and then fix it for you.

  • Thanks for the quick reply, I'll make a tech support incident right now.

  • What is the current situation with Studio Artist 5.5 on Windows 10 and the Quicktime security issue (and the non-support of Quicktime by Apple)? Is Studio Artist 6.0 going to come anytime soon, with its own built-in equivalent substitution for Quicktime? What is the usability of Studio Artist 5.5 on Windows 10? How is the pending modification to Windows 10 expected to impact Studio Artist, if at all? I am very much attracted to Studio Artist, but somewhat put off by Apple treating Windows users as second class citizens.

    • Studio Artist V5.5.5 doesn't use quicktime api.  Both the mac and windows builds of V5.5.5 are 64 bit only.  We're using a new cross platform 64 bit movie framework for movie file io.

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made. All made in Studio Artist, several separate videos with alpha channels, then combined in layers with the music in Blender. A lot of MSG running through brushes, with several of the brush Path Starts being controlled by the MSG Scan Generator in the Generator part of the Path Start in the Paint Synthesizer. Also some MSG running through a brush, then making a video of that with an alpha channel, then making that a…

Whats going on with this site?

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
