Re: [Avid-L2] External boot drive and 2020.12 issues

Often that frozen image thing in Avid  has to do with graphics drivers, but that should have survived cloning to the USB drive. 

Is the USB drive formatted HFS+ ?

I regularly run Media Composer from a USB3 connected external boot drive but haven't tried 2020.12. Might it be your OS? I'm on 10.14.6.

Hello all.  Doing some holiday slow time testing here to play with 2020.12 on an iMacPro Mojave 10.14.1

I did not want to disturb my working system, so we cloned the boot drive to an external USB3 drive and are booting from that. 

We have 2020.12 installed, brand new user with no adjustments yet and things are .........   well, pretty bad.  Basically not at all usable. 

Load an ProRes clip in Source window, hit play and the what ever image was first seen is frozen.  And stuck there.  Clear monitor does nothing.  Same on the Record side.

I fired up Premiere and After Effects.  They work as normal.

So, first question.  Is it possible that I can not use an external boot drive to have a play with Avid?  Does no one in Beta testing work this way?

Should I uninstall Avid and do a deep clean to get all Avid files off?  We uninstalled 2018.12.13 before this install.
