On Backwards Compatibility - clarified: if you have a Project *entirely done with linked media*, working with a Project in older and newer versions of Media Composer may not work.

Emphasized by @avidmarianna: read the README and WHAT& #39;S NEW docs.
On the macOS 10.15.4 bug - clarified:

If you& #39;ve upgraded macOS to 10.15.4, there is a known issue with local attached RAID storage. System will hang when running Media Composer or copying large files. Doesn& #39;t happen with earlier versions of macOS.
On #collaboration by handing off projects between editors using different versions of Avid Media Composer: expect problems.
On Universal Media Engine (UME) and Avid Media Access (AMA) - clarified:

UME is not a replacement for AMA.

Again, the choice is between UME vs. QuickTime, which will differ from workflow-to-workflow.
On Transcoding versus Linking Footage - clarified:

Still the best way to work in Avid, transcode everything for max stability and performance. Which means, budget project time for transcoding.
That& #39;s all for today! Thanks for reading. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">
