This update is now available from My Avid Master Accounts, Application Manager, and the Avid Download Center (login and password required) as of today, August 29th, 2016 at 12:00 noon ET.
This v8.6.2 release contains several changes and many fixes which are outlined in the ReadMe document linked below.
IMPORTANT: If you are working on a Media Composer | Could systems, DO NOT upgrade to Media Composer v8.6.2. This specific update of the editing application will not launch properly on and is not supported on a Media Composer | Could systems. Alternatively, Media Composer v8.6.1 is supported and can be installed properly on a Media Composer| Cloud systems.
Changes Include: The following is new in Media Composer v8.6.2.
- Support for Mac OS v10.11.6
This release includes support for Mac OS v10.11.6.
- Real-time EQ and AudioSuite Effects
With this release, you can choose real-time EQ effects within the AudioSuite tool. The EQ effect has
been added to the Plug-in Selection Menu in the AudioSuite tool
Group Tracks in the Audio Mixer Tool
Changes have been made to the Audio Mixer tool to improve how you can select group tracks.
Previously, if you made a group track selection in the Audio Mixer tool, and then made a manual
selection to the tracks, a subsequent group selection would remove your manual selection. With this
release, manual selections are not removed when you select a group track option in the Audio Mixer
tool.
• Selecting a group with a single click adds all of the tracks in that group to the selection
• Deselecting a group with a single clip removes tracks in that group from the selection, except for
tracks that are also members of another selected group.
Invert Track Selection
In the Audio Mixer tool, you can easily switch between the selected tracks and the non-selected
tracks. With the Audio Mixer tool open, right click in the tracks pane and select Invert Track
Selection. The non-selected audio tracks become selected and the selected tracks are deselected
Timecode Burn-In Clip Comments
You can choose to include clip comments (from the Timeline) in the TimeCode Burn-In effect. To
include a clip's comments, access the Timecode Burn-In effect and select Timecode Clip Text.
Shortcut to Assign "Image Size" Equal to the "Raster Dimension"
With this release, when you are working with FrameFlex to reframe your media, the editing
application provides a quick way to set the Image Size equal to the raster dimension.
Fixed in this release: Included in this update are a number of bug fixes, including:
Bug Number: MCCET-1304. (Symphony option) In some instances, when working with Nitris DX,
the LTC output was unable to generate drop frame timecode.
Bug Number: MCCET-1048. (Windows) If you had an Open I/O device attached, background
transcode/render took a minute or two to start.
Bug Number: MCCET-1385. You could not create a new sequence with more than 25 tracks of
audio.
Bug Number: MCCET-1338. You might have seen garbled text in the Eventlog when working with
the editing application system locale set to Japanese.
Bug Number: MCCET-1252. You might have received an "Assertion failed" error when previewing
a sequence with mixed frame rates in the List Tool.
Bug Number: MCCET-1312. Applying a Color LUT level appeared different from one version ofthe editing application to another.

Known Limitations:
In Media Composer v8.6.2, you cannot add a media asset to a MediaCentral UX message. If you attempt to drag an asset from a bin and drop it in the messages pane, a red "do not
enter" icon is displayed.
There is a known issue when launching the editing application with some Dell laptops and workstations. If you experience a fatal exception or error when launching the application, and you are running on a Dell system, you might want to review this Dell community report for details on removing Dell backup and recovery software.
If you are working on a system with a Quadro 4000 card, you are running Windows 10, and you have Nvidia driver 362.13 installed, you might experience the following:
• "An application has requested more GPU memory than is available in the system" error when
launching the editing application.
• "Avid Editor has stopped working" error when launching the editing application.
• The editing application launches but stutters when playing back a single stream of DNx UHD or HD media.
Workaround: Uninstall the 362.13 driver and install the 353.82 driver to resolve the issue. You can
find the 353.82 driver here on the Nvidia website.
