Hi Achim
 
oops sorry for my negligence about replying to the list. Thank uou very much for your time, you are giving me very valuable leads. I will remove those kineme plugs, I rely on Apple's building blocks at this point. And true, I will also check on the AMD driver. Tomorrow. I will post the results.
 
Thanks again, until tomorrow
Jurgen

Jurgen,
 
thanks for sending me the crashlogs. (Please make sure, that you send the emails to the mailing list too!)
 
For them I can read that the crash happens in the AMD OpenGL driver (AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver). Maybe there is an update for it?
 
However, I also can see that you have installed many QuartzComposer plugins. There is a good chance that one of those causes this trouble. A good candidate could be the Particle Tools by Kineme located here:
 
/Users/USER/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ParticleTools 4.37.18 PM.plugin
 
You could try to remove all the plugins restart QuartzComposer and see if you still have crashing issues with two particle systems. if not, add one by one to find the bad one. 
 
Also you can create another user in your system just to see, if the problem is system wide or just something your have installed in user domain.
 
best,

Hi there,
 
I'm at a beginner's stage and I want to create a composition with several particle systems. I wan to use gif images with an alpha channel, each system with a differnt image. 
 
The moment the 2nd system starts to emit QC would crash, sometimes _very_ bad with a kernel panic.
 
I'm on OS X.9.4 Mavericks. I'm going through the "Learning Quartz Composer" book - the author suggests to create compostiions with more than one particle system so it should not be an issue. 
 
Does anybody know what is causing the crash and how to avoid it? 
 
Thanks
Jurgen
