FAQ - Simran-B/olive GitHub Wiki

Q: The viewer panel just shows black. Is this a bug?

Make sure your graphics drivers are installed and up-to-date. Olive's display is hardware accelerated by design and most (if not all) issues like this are caused by the computer have no/outdated graphics drivers.

Q: When I export, some (or all) of the audio clips are higher or lower pitched but other times they're fine, why is this?

This is a known bug with the old 0.1.x codebase. Approaches to fixing it were largely related to the upcoming node+cache rewrite, so expect it to be fixed soon.

For the time being, the following details workarounds for this issue:

Q: Why does it take time for pull requests to be merged even when Travis CI has approved them?

A: Usually this is because code needs to be thoroughly vetted before it can be merged into Olive. Travis CI will only ensure that the software still compiles, it doesn't test whether the code does what it intends, whether it's good quality, or whether it inadvertently breaks a feature somewhere else. To ensure the pull request is good, the vetting process may take time before it gets merged. Be patient, and if you hear no response at all within a week, notify one of the package maintainers.

Q: Can you add a translation for [this language]?

I would love to, but chances are, if it's not my native language, there's nothing I can do. Assuming you're fluent in it, you are very welcome to create and submit a translation of your own, there are even instructions how to do so on this wiki.
