Sony Imaging Edge Desktop Crashing

[Richard A]

I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I have just updated my Mac Studio to Mac OS 15.1 Sequoia and have found that the Imaging Edge Desktop app keeps crashing. This is more of an annoyance than anything as the individual apps all appear ok. I want to do some experiments with Pixel Shift so I will need the Sony apps. I have made sure I have the latest version. Anyone have any experience with this?

I played with pixel shift back on the A7RIV, so I can't help with your specific problem, but I do think Sony's software doesn't keep up with MacOS updates very well. If you want maximum compatibility with Sony's software I'd be inclined to stay a release behind the current one. That said, I think I'm currently two releases back (yes, Ventura rather than Sonoma). It's not to stay compatible with Sony's software, though (I'm not running any at the moment). More a case of being wary about incompatibilities with other non-Apple software.

I hope you get a patch from Sony to fix it.

The three individual apps within Imaging Edge Desktop still all work fine so I'm not going to worry about it.

No solution but find exactly the same problem since I updated to OS 15.1. I also was beginning to explore pixel shift shooting as otherwise I rarely use Sony imaging edge other than for easy timelapse creation.

I didn't know it could do timelapse creation. I'll have to have a look at that. I use TLDF for that. I have a couple of timelapse's I need to process.

I only became aware of the ability to do timelapse creation when it was mentioned in the context of the A1 II - that camera has 12 custom modes, with 3 for stills, 3 for video, and when you turn the dial to S&Q, three for S&Q and three for time lapse.

I think it has been mentioned before, but I do not recall which camera had it first.

My A7RV can do timelapse but I don’t use that for the day to night ones that I do.

These apps have been updated for the A1ii. I have downloaded & installed them & they are working fine. However, I had to delete the old versions before the new ones installed properly.

It's very simple to use. I used to do it with the video timeline in Photoshop which was quite cumbersome. By default it sends to rendered video into Apple Movies folder. It took me a while to find the location.
