If I were on a PC, I would suspect an issue with QuickTime or the video driver, but my system is a fairly powerful iMac running the... (read more)

Okay gang, here goes! I'm a subscription user. This week, I was sorta abruptly "escorted" into a new version of MC (v2019.6). Probably becausee I avoid reading "sales" emails. Got the old version uninstalled and the new version installed (with the help of AVID technician) and... (read more)
