So as the subject says, I can't render synthesia videos on my mac. Well technically I can, but the video looks really messed up (from the attachment to this post). I've tried deleting and reinstalling the video converter but that didn't seem to help and neither did changing any of the file formats in the video converter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using macOS Big Sur Version 11.2.3. The synthesia version is 10.7.5567.
Thanks
Error when rendering synthesia video on Mac
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).
If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Sorry for the bug. I'd actually never understood the limitation in the first place. Apple's OpenGL graphics drivers seem to not like creating "render targets" larger than the current resolution.
The good news is that since the last release of the video creator utility (in 2014), we've switched the under-the-hood rendering technology in the Mac version of Synthesia over to Apple's own "Metal" framework. I suspect that same limitation doesn't exist on that side of things. So, when we do eventually update the video creator, I'm hoping this limitation will be fixed without any special effort on our part.
