Re: [Avid-L2] When in Heaven's name is Catalina getting blessed for Media Composer??

Apple don't care for its users. They couldn't be bothered to expand and develop QT they moved onto to AV foundation with FCPX.

If you aren't using FCPX your on your own.

True Quicktime going away is a problem. Then again QT was not really maintain well over the years . Used to be a great player and Pro was great too. Apple really seems to lost it's connectivity with certain sectors of their market.

Yes that's why the old title to and marquee are gone. And the loss of QT is the main issue.

Things are progressing on the beta development but as I'm sure your aware those helping can't share that progress.

But I can say many of those helping have had their time hijacked by the current circumstances.

I think the current line is still April.

I hoping Marianna or an engineer might offer some clue as to when MC (and not the much appreciated but hobbled beta) would run on Catalina as we're working from home on our mid 2013's instead of our 2020 macbook pro 16's which are running Premier Pro just fine but some of us would prefer to use the awesome MC Ultimate; and for a ridiculous reason the thread was highjacked and criticized for using the phrase "stay safe," which is the ubiquitous friendly sign off for everyone here in the tri state region and because of that has turned into a pile of crap. So, Marianna or an engineer, when in pete's sake are we getting an update? Catalina was rekeased Oct 7th 2019. Now please don't tell me to get a PC, I've already purchased Macs, I have no PCs and I'm not gonna run out and buy PC's and also please don't tell me that I'm a privileged to have this first world problem; I'm aware and I know Avid employees are working from home too, yet, this is a professional list and that means people on here are trying to make a living using Avid software and hardware and of course I realize and empathize with the pain and grief caused by this current virus, still I think that my question, however I couched it, is not OT, thank you.
