Issues with movie making on mac

Hi everyone
I am trying to make multiple figure movies with bs on my mac (Mojave, 10.14.6, 2017), but I incur into a bug that overlaps the figures in the movie. Is there any solution?

thank you

Have you tried with different ways of arranging automatically the windows?

Have you tried setting the interface scaling factor to 100%? (from the Brainstorm preferences)

If you have multiple screens: Try working on one screen only.

Can you please post a screen capture showing what you desktop looks like at the moment you start making this video (make sure we see the popup menu you click to make the video)

Hi Francois. I tried with all arrangements available, and my scaling factor is 100%. here is a screenshot of my desktop at the time of capturing the video.

Thanks for the help!

What version of Matlab are you using?

If older than 2020a, have you tried using the compiled version of Brainstorm instead?

Hi Francois,
I am currently using Matlab 2018b. I have hence tried with the compiled version as you suggested, but the same issue occurs.
If it may help with solving the issue, I have managed to obtain acceptable movies by manually restricting the size of the windows to roughly a 16th of the size of half of my screen (the half deputed with showing images on brainstorm).

Cheers
Marco

The problem seems to be that Matlab and/or Java have a different information about the size and position of the figures that what the operating system actually does...

Do you have any other parameter within the MacOS configuration that zooms the figures? Something in your display parameters that lets you adjust the size of the text of figures. If you find a parameter like this, try setting it up to 100% / no zoom.

I'm not sure how it works with Java in MacOS at the moment. Do you have any option to udpate Java on your system? Or use a different JVM?

I've just compiled Brainstorm with Matlab 2022, you could try this version as well. You can find it at the bottom of the Download page. It will require you install the Matlab Runtime 2022.
