  • Will Avid Media Composer 6 work on OS X Lion 10.7.3?

    Posted by Nicole Favale on April 23, 2012 at 1:10 am

    I currently have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and was going to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3, but I want to make sure that Avid Media Composer 6 Academic will work on this OS before I do so.

    My Mac specs:
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

    I also read that “Core 2 Duo based systems do not support HD baseband capture. You may experience limited HD playback performance,” on an Avid requirements page. What does this mean? Will I be able to edit with HD footage?

    Thanks!

    Nope…it is not officially approved by AVID yet. Although some have had luck. Personally I would wait, They will make an announcement on their forum when it is official.

    Hmm, ok thanks. My issue also is that I only have 1 month left to buy AVID at the student price. Should I maybe buy an earlier version 5.5.3? Or would that have the same issues….

    It will work on 10.7.1. But then, they aren’t selling that version are they? I bought Lion when it was 10.7.1.

    I was running MC 6 on 10.7.3 from the get go.
    I didnt check if it wasnt compliant.
    No problems here.

    I’ve been on 10.73 for quite a while as well. Few AMA crashes…not sure if that is because its AMA or 10.73, but other than that i’m quite happy.

    FYI, MC 6.0.1.1 and Lion 10.7.3 are working just fine for me now. I was happy to upgrade Lion finally, I was having some issues(unrelated to MC) with 10.7.2 that are now resolved.
