Sony Content Browser 2 doesn’t work with new MAC OS 10.12.4 update

[Michael Slowe]

I had a different problem, I could import the media but, on dragging it to my (Media 100) timeline it wouldn’t go. I am now using EditReady for the same job and it’s brilliant – look it up.

I’m having the same issue. This is the error message I get each time I try to open the application. I uninstalled Content browser and tried to Re-Install it again, but was given an errror message stating that OS was not supported and then it asked me for a serial number that I didn’t need before. So I am looking for alternative solutions now. Any suggestions appreciated.

I bought EditReady $49, as Michael Slowe suggested an I am happy with it! I don’t want wait, when Sony will make an update!

Jeff, like I said, EditReady, it’s great, the only problem being that you can’t select segments from a clip, have to take in the whole clip.

Thanks Michael – I’m going to make the investment in Edit Ready today. Especially since it seems like I have issues every other week when they release a security update to the latest OS. I’m also having issues with FCPx, you’d think apple would release an update and at least make sure their own applcations weren’t affected, but that’s a topix for another thread. Thanks for the tip!

Any updates to this situation?

My understanding is that Catalyst Browse is a replacement for Sony’s Content Browser 2, even though it does not have all the same capabilities. I personally use Content Browser to move (not copy) clips from one virtual card to another. Catalyst Browse can copy clips, but afaik, it can’t move clips. It does have quite a few transcode options that weren’t in the previous software. Also, Catalyst Browse is free although you do have register your email address to activate it.

In short, I don’t expect Content Browser to be updated, ever. You can switch to Catalyst Browse if it meets your needs, or keep a Mac OS 10.11.x partition on your system to run the old browser software when needed.
