I downloaded the trial version to a 15" MacBook Pro with 10.6.1. Had to run the installer and let it create a directory called "Pixie" (/Library/Application Support/Avid/Pixie) then it will give you an error. Quit MC and then (if the Pixie directory exists) change the permissions for that directory (I actually did it for the entire Avid

Any word on whether MC 4.0 will be certified for Mac OS X 10.6 when released?

According to this MacWorld article , MC 4.0 is announced, however, I can't find any info on Avid's website about it.

Wow, that's surprising and encouraging (that you could get Avid to work in Snow Leopard--usually any changes to QuickTime messes with Avid)! But remember that 10.6 boots into 32-bit mode by default, and the goal is to get Avid (and everything else on your Mac) to work when booted into 64-bit mode.

Yes, you are right of course. I guess I am just a bit frustrated that I have a system that has a few bugs, and wanted to make sure I did not miss an announcement, especially one that said, for example, that my product was EOL. I have a problem with the interaction between Boris Red and XDV. I contacted Boris and they blame Avid for the problem. Since

... And works with the current versions of OSX, Quicktime and Boris Red? Eric

Thanks. Now I have to figure out how to go back to that version. Maybe if I reinstall DVDSP that will bring it back. The previous version QT installers from Apple all say "a more recent version is already installed" so I can't down-grade that way. I hope I don't have to reinstall the OS.

Does anybody know the latest version of Quicktime which will work with Xpress DV 4.8.1? I have QT 7.1.2 and the XDV source playback window jumps to the end while playing a clip (but displays properly on a FW connected monitor). I assume I should not have updated QT recently. I'll have to see if I can find the link to previous versions of QT...

I am using audio Time Compression Expansion for the first time. I create a new sequence and edit in an audio clip. Say the whole clip (and sequence) is 18;16. When I open Time Compression Expansion, the Length is 0:20.192 and the TC End is 00:00:20:05.17. All settings are default. I don't understand why they both are not 18;16 when I open the tool.

BLKDOG: Hold down the "K" key and use "L" and "J" to go back and forth. Thanks. That works. Does Avid have a name for this? I'm trying to figure out why I did not see it in the help files. I guess there is only one slow speed (forward and reverse)? Thanks. I learned something new.
