The best and fastest way to get help with any Bounce Factory problem is to send the User Files and (if applicable) a screen recording of Bounce Factory failing. The easiest way to do this is to use the "Report a Problem" button in the app:

1. Go to the Bounce Factory settings using the cog in the bottom-right of the app:

2. Click the red "Report A Problem…" button at the bottom of the Settings screen

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Thanks!

Hi @Greg_Strizek ,

First of all, the version display is on me. You are on 1.6.2 so that's all good.

For some reason it's having trouble opening the Export Dialog and of course that's working fine here... I'm adding some code to try and make that a little more robust and will publish version 1.6.3. It might take a little while to show up as it has to pass security checks etc.

In the meantime there's one thing that might speed up your bouncing. If you're only doing one Snapshot per session and just muting or soloing to get extra mix passes then you can turn off one big step. Go to the settings and click the top of the Snapshot Data Recall Filter to turn it off. Obviously if you're doing volume, insert, I/O, playlist etc changes then you need to leave it on.

To get through your bounces maybe edit the passes (you can bulk edit) and turn off Export After Bounce but keep Import after Bounce. That way you could just select them all in the Clip List and Export all at once when the bounces have finished.

One more thing is, if you don't know already, you can have multiple versions of Pro Tools installed at once. Just rename the version of Pro Tools you already have installed in the Applications folder (I usually add the version number to the end of the name). Then install a different version and it will be installed as Pro Tools, which you can also rename. I have many many versions installed at the same time for testing BF and you can just launch whichever one you want. I'm mentioning this because you said the problem started with 24.3, so you could have whatever your previous version was for troubleshooting.

Hope some of this helps!

Hello just a quick update:

After the bounce factory 1.6.3 update, and the sound flow 5.7.6 update, turns out bounce factory is still getting hung up opening the export dialog. (Same original problem),

Just an fyi; I haven't had time yet to test on a previous version of pro tools to troubleshoot.
