There are caveats:

Compatibility when running macOS Catalina

• No support for DMF (Dynamic Media Folders)

• No support for Nitris DX and Mojo DX.

• No support for the Avid Title Tool Application or Marquee.

• If you have a Media Composer client that needs to connect to Production Management, you cannot upgrade the macOS on your Media Composer system to Catalina.

• The Media Composer |Enterprise Admin tool is not supported on Catalina in this release. The Media Composer |Enterprise client will run on Catalina.

• Avid NEXIS version 19.12.x is the earliest supported version to be supported with Catalina - with the following caveat:

- Thunderbolt 3 Ethernet adapters will not work with Avid NEXIS 19.12.x on Catalina. Thunderbolt 2 is fine. If you have a client system that uses Thunderbolt 3 and you need to connect to Nexis on Catalina, you will need a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, and then attach your Thunderbolt 2 Ethernet adapter to that.

 

QuickTime functionality when running on a macOS Catalina system

Note the following regarding QuickTime on a macOS system:

What you cannot do:

• MP4 export

• Link to MOV or MP4 files using the following codecs: DNxHD with Alpha, Meridien, MPEG 50, DV, MPEG 4 (H.263), Apple None, Apple Intermediate, DVCPro, PNG*, or other formats that require a QuickTime Codec

• Link to 3GP, 3G2, AU, AVI*, BMP*, DV, GIF, M4V, MID, MP2, MP3, MPE

• WAV and AIFF import/export containing uncompressed PCM audio at 8 and 32-bit

• Link, import or export QuickTime Reference, Same as Source

• Link, import or export Variable Frame Rate (VFR) H.264 in MOV, MP4

  * Note this is just PNG in a MOV container; PNG image files will still be supported * AVI Import is still supported on Windows systems without QuickTime installed

  * Linking for BMP is not supported without QuickTime, however Import of BMP is supported without QuickTime
