Long time ago we bought a Canon video camera. To import and edit movies I use Imagemixer 3 SE, which was provided to me along with the camera. I’ve once before blogged about this application describing how I managed to find the solution of a totally stupid error message. Once again I do get a totally stupid error message, but this time I’m not able to find a workaround.
I’ve spent a couple of hours, way to many I now realize, editing a movie and all that was left was just to save it. No problem, the progress bar shows 10%, 20%, 90%, 98%, 99%, it even disappears, but just to let me see a dialog box saying “Could not create the file”. What a bunch of fu#”# crap!!! Stupid, freaking application from hell. But, ok, counting to ten, then do a search on the Internet. Go to http://www.pixela.co.jp and download the latest update…downloading…downloading…7 Mb, reading “This file only works if you have Imagemixer already installed” No problem, I have, so I click on the update.exe-file and get to click “next” once. Then
If you are having trouble understanding Norwegian it says “No previous version of Imagemixer 3 SE found, aborting…” What a bunch of crap!!! It is installed, arrrghh!!! I want to throw it all away, but for now I’m stuck with the shitty application.
@Update: Realized that it is not enough to just search for “Imagemixer 3SE”, but I had to add “Canon”. Then I found by using Google, not by looking at the Pixela homepage, a direct link to the download for ImageMixer 3 SE SD 3.1.2, not 3.1.3 for some other brand which I found first. So, now my app is updated from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2, but still, same freaking error.
