Avid MC 3.0 and OSX 10.5.6

[Jon Zanone]

According to the Avid website, the qualified OS is 10.5.5. It doesn’t mean it won’t work, but you’ll probably have some weird and annoying things happening within Avid.

I just updated a system to FCP 6.0.5 in 10.5.5. Perhaps you need to update QuickTime to 7.5.5? That is required for the FCP update.

If that still doesn’t work try manually re-running the 10.5.5 combo update:

DON’T upgrade to 10.5.6!

…But remember – upgrading to a higher version of Quicktime than certified by Avid will result in some REALLY odd things happening. Like being unable to export QT reference…

Here are the MC system specs:

I’d say it’s worth it to have two seperate machines (or at least run parallel and switch to a PC version of MC to avoid this problem).
