OTOH, there’s always the “opt out” solution ☺”Not for these people.
One would think that with the introduction of FCPX, where it was not even downwards compatible, it was very clear that Apple does not give a (Shameless self moderation, got way too many posts vaporize already) about the end users.Add to that phones that are programmed to have an ‘end date’ (ok, in the movie it was a good idea), and some other frolicking with forcing people like me to hand over a big part of my turnover for nothing, I would think more people would choose your solution.
But no, they rather state that if something isn’t supported by Apple, it’s obsolete and that is a good thing and about time, as it isn’t blessed as ‘double plus good’ as it has only 32 stars.Bouke

[John Pale] “once time travel is perfected”
That won’t make any difference. Apple has claimed the name ‘time machine’ already (as you know), so they want exclusive rights to earn money for a commodity everyone should be able to have access too, thus rendering the whole concept void.
The only hope for humanity is a group of hackers that will find a way outside the grid to travel back in time and kill Steve J.Bouke

There is encoded format and display format. Display can be anything, render cannot.
Render to the closest value and be done with it.Bouke

I did not, but Apple sells it over here to people who are less educated.
But, this it totally besides the point. What part of my message was unclear?Bouke

Excuse me?
If Apple makes a stupid decision and/or is too cheap / lazy / arrogant to do what any pro would do, how makes that perfectly good file formats ‘obsolete’?
And, whatever Apple says may NOT be the truth. Apple also says that I have to pay for support that I should get for free as that is the law, and Apple says that I must give them my credit card just to turn on a device I paid for.
I follow my own plan, makes more sense.Bouke

I GUESS you are totally wrong.
The codec is the issue, not the wrapper. Do you really think that ProRes in a QT coat will not be supported?Do NOT mix QT player with QT files, and do note that a QT file can be a gazillion things besides a video and one or more sound tracks, but that will all be gone in the future I’m afraid.
(Remember Motion? That could generate QT .mov files being nothing more than XML that created an animation on the fly in the player.)Bouke

Considering Adobe and LibAVcodec have Avid codecs not relying on QuickTime, the work is not what it is about.
I fear there is a standoff where both parties want to see money to get the Avid codecs included, and Apple has the deepest pockets by far and absolutely no reason to be kind to Avid.
(And, from my point of view, Apple likes to dictate the market, get everyone addicted and then drop all support to go after something else that seems capable of earning a nickel more and you all will be crying again.)
So, there will be a third party solution to make it happen, but it will be a hack as no – one wants to pay the fees, and it will be sued to death within a few months. (Or at least threatened…)Bouke

If you record sound seperately, why not make the SD your master clock and sacrifice a sound track on the video recording?
That will be free, and will be a breeze in post to sync.In case your NLE does not support it, there is always the swiss army of LTC:
