Warning: The first several runs of the application may trigger OS permission prompts, for the console emulator, Script Editor, and/or tigris.
Repeat until all permission prompts appear to be resolved:
- Grant the permission to the respective application(s).
- Quit and relaunch the terminal emulator.
- Retry the operation.
Recommend prototyping archival scans with a small frame count (e.g. 3) in order to accelerate troubleshooting.
