Faqs

When conforming a Pro Tools session using VirtualKaty 6 on Mac OSX, VirtualKaty pops up with an error stating “Problem Conforming… VK6 had difficulty sending keystrokes to Pro Tools”.

The reason for this is because there is communication breakdown between VirtualKaty and Pro Tools. We found that this issue usually occurs if your studio rig has two displays (i.e. if VirtualKaty (VK) is running on one display and Pro Tools is running on another display). VK worked when both VK and Pro Tools are on the same display. If you are using two displays, try running VK6 and Pro Tools on one display.

We were also informed that this issue might happen when you use other third party tools with ProTools. So this is not an isolated incident.

These discrepancies could be due to AppNap interfering with conforming process. The explanation and the resolution of this issue can be found here.

If VK is crashing on import its probably an issue with the EDL format.

• For VK6, the EDLs need to be in edl32, edl16 or CMX3600 format
• For VK5 or VK4, the EDLs need to be in the CMX3600 format.

You can see the specifications and the environment (including Pro Tools version) required to run each version of VirtualKaty in the link below.
