I have noticed that for a while now Avid is back to requiring an approved OS for the Avid installer to run. I remember a time when Avid would warn that the OS wasn't supported but still allow you to install a version.
Now that I upgraded my OS from 10.10.5 to Sierra 10.12 Media Composer 8.5.3 hangs at initializing AVX 2. I see in the version matrix that this version is not supported for Sierra so I'm assuming that's the issue and I'm downloading the latest MC 8.8.x version to hopefully fix this. I assume that the Avid installer for 8.5.3 probably wouldn't have even run on the Sierra updated startup drive but given it was already installed it is still installed.
I'm curious what others have found along the way with recent OS updates and Avid legacy versions. I'm not advocating ignoring system requirements but a lot of the time not supported didn't mean it wouldn't work. With all the plugins I've amassed over the years a clean install is a dirty word and viewed as a last resort.
Hopefully loading MC 8.8.x latest version which works with 10.12.5 will solve the problem. First I have to find the 10.10.5 OS update as the app store only shows me 10.12.6 which I assume is the current latest version of the 10.12.X OS.
I feel like Ferris Beuler, "OS's move pretty fast..."
