EOS VR Utility bug after updating to macOS 15.2

After updating my Mac Studio to OS 15.2, the VR Utility Application is no longer working correctly. 

When I go to export footage from RAW to ProRes, it stalls out at the 5-min left mark, and never finishes.

Can’t process my VR footage now. Can someone from Canon take a look & release an update?

Whilst the devs are looking at issues, Mac users have the most logical button highlighted with the system accent colour that is the bottom most right button in the workflow. Cancel is on the left.

The Export button is perfect for Windows users, but not Mac users.Screenshot 2025-01-14 at 9.15.40 am.png

 

Just did a Sample in Activity Monitor. There are a bunch of threads that seem to be stuck waiting.

Any updates at all? Like time frame to fix this? Will it be fixed next week, or do we have to wait 2 more months?

I need to decide if I buy a used laptop with the older operating system on it to be able to continue editing my footage or not.

This is taking much too long to fix, and Canon is leaving us all in the dark about progress.

This seems to be still ongoing a month after this post was first made, where are we at on a fix? Can we at least get the previous version to use in the meantime?

I am having the same issue. I am on macOS 15.2, using Canon EOS VR Utility v1.5.11, which is the latest version I was able to download.

If you updated the OS, then I would recommend deleting the old version and installing the latest version, even if it’s the same release.  The OS update may have changed something about your current installation.

I am having the same issue. I can export to H264 4:2:0 8-bit but I can't export to any of the ProRes formats from Raw. It freezes when there are 8 minutes left. I have reinstalled the latest software.

I had another machine running Sonoma. On Sonoma, the stall bug doesn't appear. 

Definitely stalls on Sequoia.

I have the same issue with the macOS 15.2/version 1.5.11. I'm attaching the Activity Monitor's Sample + Open file list for your reference. You may be able to symbolize the document and trace the stack to see what has gone wrong. It hung quickly after it started processing (one minute entering the process). When it hung, the CPU was 100.0% and GPU dropped to 0, while it started with CPU about 450% and GPU 60%.

Hope the info helps, and hope to get a fix quickly. DPX's size is huge, and H264's quality is bad. We need ProRes.
