I've been saving some money for a while, to buy a new Apple mac machine with Apple Silicon on it. Currently I edit on a customized late-2013 iMac 27", I can't update the OS on it, but that's fine for me. I use AVID Media Composer for video editing and delivering. Initially I was expecting...

Hello there, I'm looking for a new laptop for editing (mostly documentary, 4K ProRes max.) and I'm curious if there are any experiences with the new MacBook Pro 14' (16GB mem, 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU) with M1 Pro so far? It should be supported since the last update in December — is...

Does anyone use Media Composer on a new M1 Mac and can tell me if its possible to edit a native HEVC UHD Codec via AMA-Link - for example from the Sony a7s III? For example in 50p? For Final Cut, Davinci Resolve and Premiere this should be no issue, but is it possible in avid as well without transcoding...

G'day there Gary, You can download the Avid Codecs package here . Do you have the latest Apple Pro Video Formats package as well? Have you tried both QuickTime Player and VLC? Let me know if updating/installing those packages helps.

I just installed the new Apple Pro Video Formats released yesterday (v2.1.2) and now I can't export to Apple ProRes from Avid. The option is gone from the video codecs drop-down menu. Does anyone know how to uninstall Pro Video Formats so I can go back to the previous version? Thanks! Avid Media...

Noticed this after the lates update. After pressing cmd+H to hide avid it then crashes when you click the icon to restore the program (it never restores it just says Aplication not responding) This was after the last update to 2019.8.0 - running Mojave Anyone else having this issue?

Hi to all, I'm facing a serious issue with Media Composer, and would need some advice from folks here, if possible. I use an iMac 27", late 2013, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, running OS X El Capitan. Since last February I was using Media Composer 2018.2, and last...

Hello other Martin! You need an Apple Pro app installed on your machine to acess Pro Video Formats. I'd recomend purchasing Compressor as it is a fast encoder and fairly cheap; otherwise you can follow these instructions as a workaround to install the Pro Formats without purchasing/installing a Pro...

Hi, I am editing an HD project and I just realized that I don't have Apple ProRes codec. I am editing in the latest Avid (2018.4) on a Mac with OS Sierra (10.12.6) I have attached the list of available codecs I have. At work that list is double and we don't have any special package installed...

I've just had the same problem. Someone using FCP exported this file. MediaInfo says it's a HDV 1080i file. QT wouldn't play it - black screen but audio played. VLC did play it but it was a bit of a struggle. Sorenson Squeeze 9 also produced a white screen and would crash every time I tried...
