Status: 

Vuo version: 

OS version: 

  • macOS 11.0

How severely does this bug affect you?: 

●●●● — It prevents me from using Vuo at all.

Steps causing the bug to occur: 

I don't have an M1 myself. I've had two reports of 3-5 second video lag with my Vuo-made application, when running on M1 Macs. Given the performance of these machines, I can only guess something else is going on.

You can download my Vuo made app here: https://www.notion.so/Getting-Started-with-Five-beta-13bd854cc94243348e0...

The app takes a video feed, and outputs a syphon feed.

Other notes: 

Unfortunately, this makes my app unusable on M1 Macs.

We've investigated, and it seems the bottleneck is a Rosetta bug related to how Apple is processing the camera image OpenGL texture. We don't see a fix until we add native ARM support or switch to Metal. In the meantime, you can try changing the webcam to a lower resolution.
