Re: [Avid-L2] Catalina 2020.6 Avid UME and or QT linking?

I apologize, just imported via link and transcode a mov and a mp4 and exported to mov.

I'm sorry I ranted without trying again. Avid engineers I apologize. Avid L'ers I apologize.

QuickTime Reference files are dead in Catalina.

Same as Source self contained Avid QuickTime files are also dead in Catalina, as QuickTime no longer supports third party codec plug ins.

You can still export as MXF OP1a but not QuickTime using The Avid codecs.

I gave up on QT Ref a few years ago. If this helps, I am running MC 2020.6 on Mac OS 10.14.6 (ie not Catalina!). I can do a same as Source export but QT Ref comes up either green or black.

From the link I see at the end QT Ref not supported but they also list "same as source" but I can't tell if that is same as source QT Ref or Same as Source in the typical Avid sense:



* 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
* Note this is just PNG in a MOV container; PNG image files will still be supported

Please Note: Media Composer often used QuickTime to link/import files when the preferred method was not available (if the file used an unsupported format, etc.) This could mean that additional files not listed here will not link/import properly without QuickTime installed.
