Selecting a Soundflower source in the audio mixer causes an immediate crash on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8 running Procaster v20.2.22. Here is a work around that I seem to have found.

Description copied from another thread I posted in:

Okay, I may have found a workaround for Snow Leopard.

Unfortunately, the problem actually went from bad to worse, as instead of giving me static when I selected Soundflower in the audio mixer, it immediately crashed Procaster, requiring a force close. That's when I decided to mess around with it a bit, and I think I hit paydirt. While this work around may work in v20.2.0, it has only been tested in 20.2.22, but you may as well give it a shot in either case.

When you first bring up the audio mixer, usually "Speaker audio" is the default source in the mix. For now, let it be. Click "Add Source" and then make that new source "Soundflower 2ch" or "Soundflower 16ch" (whichever one you normally use). Right now, it should be functioning correctly. All that's left is the delete the "Speaker audio" source. You should now be up and running.

I installed 20.2.22 hoping that it would fix the problem of the crashes we're having with 20.2 (it quits every 40-45 minutes). 20.2.22 doesn't connect to our camera. I get the "lost signal" graphic instead. I can broadcast the desktop.

We're using a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard in the 32 bit mode. The camera, a Cannon HV40 (VIXIA HV40-certified says the Procaster camera choice) works just fine when we run 20.2 and 20.0.89. I rolled it back to those versions just to make sure there wasn't something else wrong.

uptake,

Could you please open the preferences menu and navigate to the video tab. From here open the cropping tool and let me know if you see your feed within.
