Issues or questions related to using VDMX

Please keep in mind that the faster we can reproduce whatever problem you're having, the sooner we'll be able to fix it. Describing exactly how to duplicate your problem is usually helpful - if it is easier, feel free to include images or record a short screencast demonstrating your bug and send that to us!

Built in Crash Reporter

If VDMX crashes ("The Application VDMX6 has unexpectedly quit"), just relaunch it: on launch, it checks to see if it can access the internet, and if it can it will automatically send us the crash log your system generated. From this panel you can request an email reply to crash logs submitted if you would like more information about the issue.

Built in Bug Reporter

Open the built in bug reporter window from the Help menu

You can use the Report Bug option from the Help menu to send us information related to any bug in VDMX. These reports include,

  • your system information
  • recent console and crash logs
  • an optional project file to help us recreate the issue
  • an optional description to help us recreate the issue
  • an optional e-mail address so we can follow up with additional questions
