Our thanks to Warren J. Savage for a thorough job
of testing out this problem and identifying the solution.
In his own words:
When I loaded 4.2, I found the following ChromaFX
didn't work in sequences:
Bronze (93), Chrome (28), ColorBands (50), Gold
(29), HeavyPoster (16)
(They just sent PROGRAM to black... )
And the following ChromaFX just plain CRASHED the
Flyer:
BandFilter (48), HueFilter (04)
Here's the fix -- Go to ChromaFX via the pop-up
PROGRAMS menu. Once there, select the effect with
the number gadget, then click on the TAKE button
(The clapboard -- actually, I don't know if you actually
have to TAKE the effect for this to work, but that's
the way I did it... ) Once you do this, click on
the SAVE EFFECT button.
The FIRST time you click on SAVE EFFECT, you're
in the [VOLUME]:NewTek/Programs directory. [VOLUME]:
is whatever you've named the drive your Toaster/Flyer
software resides in. You have to go up a parent level
(/NewTek) then into (/Effects)and then into (/ChromaFX)
before you can find the ChromaFX files. The correct
directory path should be [VOLUME]:NewTek/Effects/ChromaFX
(If you're a power-user, you can type the path directly
into the string gadget in the requester.)
Select (click on) the name of the effect (NOT the
[name].I file --that's the icon), then click on the
OK button.
After this first time the file requester will open
on the proper directory.
Repeat for each of the above effects...
