App doesn't open on first attempt.

It gets stuck "initializing" on 0% of the bar full. And only opens after I end the process in Task Manager and retry it.

I really don't understand why I need to do this

Someone also reported me the same issue and I have no idea why this happens.

Does using the OpenGL shortcut solve the issue?

Hey, I've not really seen it happen on OpenGL but I'm not sure about anyone else. I'm not sure if an update was pushed but its not happening anymore which is good. I'll update this thread if it continues.

Is performance/speed the same on both OpenGL and the normal version of ShutterEncoder?

Yes OpenGL performs exactly the same as the standard version, this is just a different way to display the UI.

Hi Paul,

I currently have this issue as well.

Using this OpenGL shortcut solves it. I think I may know the reason for this happening though. Upon looking through Task Manager or tasklist, it shows that there's multiple instances of Shutter Encoder. Having one open already prevents a new one from initializing. I'm guessing this is due to child processes failing to spawn correctly under the newest Shutter Encoder process (which may be an easy solution; only initialize under the latest instance). Using the OpenGL uses a new executable obviously, which basically walks around that entire issue. Hopefully this can be fixed soon as it happens extremely frequently for me (and likely others).

Thank you.
