OS & Topaz Video version
- macOS 15.6.1
- Topaz Video 1.0.1 (although this affects Topaz Video AI too, from at least 6.0.4
I have LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 set in my GUI session (using EnvPane) for reasons I won’t get in to here. This causes Topaz Video to crash on startup, with the following stdout when running from the terminal:
objc[83759]: Class AVFFrameReceiver is implemented in both /Applications/Topaz Video.app/Contents/Frameworks/libavdevice.62.2.100.dylib (0x106f807a8) and /Applications/Topaz Video.app/Contents/Frameworks/libavdevice.61.4.100.dylib (0x11d7ec7a8). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed.

This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed.
Non-C locale detected. This is not supported.
Call 'setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");' in your code.
libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error: could not create mpv context
zsh: abort /Applications/Topaz\ Video.app/Contents/MacOS/Topaz\ Video
Either removing LC_ALL from my env (which I’d rather not do since I need the env definition to make another application work right) or running Video from the terminal with.
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 /Applications/Topaz\ Video.app/Contents/MacOS/Topaz\ Video
fixes the issue.
Apparently libmpv requires LC_NUMERIC=C (although for whatever reason, starting Video with LC_NUMERIC=C doesn’t work. Likely gets overridden by LC_ALL?)
Reproduction
- open the terminal
- type the following and hit enter:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /Applications/Topaz\ Video.app/Contents/MacOS/Topaz\ Video
