Avid Codecs LE are codec components for Quicktime 7. QT7 is 32 bit thus not supported in Catalina. You want Apple Video Formats instead. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2050?locale=en_US

[quote user="Philip Kapadia"]He assured me that it would be possible to deploy the proxy online>offline one click workflow on a standalone media composer enterprise system, without a Nexis. [/quote] Yes, you can do proxy workflow without Nexis or Nexis Edge. You need Edge if you are doing proxy and remote workflow (the workflow demonstrated

And yea, it is incredibly poor decision by Avid to limit the proxy workflow to the Enterprise edition. I'm pretty sure 95% of users would love to use it and not just the 5% (or less) of the Enterprise license owners.

Correct. You need MC | Enterprise. You need Nexis Edge if you want to implement a proxy + remote workflow syncing.

This is not our experience. We manage dozens of shows on several Nexis setups. Almost all of them have a dedicated render workspace.

It is not a codec issue but how Quicktime writes and reads the gamma metadata (along with applications that support Quicktime). If you can work with MXF then you are better off. If not then you will need to play Russian Roulette that is QT Gamma. If you can use H264/265, then MP4 can also work.

Quicktime file? Welcome to Quicktime gamma hell. Try a different software to playback the file (i.e. VLC). Did you try AMA'ing it back in to Avid and checking the levels?

It is impossible to move one project from any X NLE to Y NLE. There are too many moving parts. API, codes, database, plugins, etc. that are miles apart between 2 platforms. Even a basic timeline can only be translated partially.

[quote user="Dragos"]What makes you describe it as "extremely poor"?[/quote] 1. Performance. It attempts to emulate the Avid bin structure but it fails miserably. Each "bin" is actually a standalone Premiere project. Opening 3 or 4 large ones and your computer grinds to a halt. The whole point of "bins" is to

This is the 3rd iteration by Adobe of Premiere project sharing. I hope they have a 4th one.We had several shows give up on it even though
