Avid Xpress Pro - Media Composer and Quicktime 7.2
QUICKTIME 7.2 and Avid Editing
I always want to download and take advantage of the latest release of software. This is not a good idea for Avid editors. Avid engineers spend many hours testing and making sure that software works with Avid. If you download an untested version of Quicktime or another software you may run into many problems that seem unrelated but they will make your editing life a disaster. Recently, Apple released the 7.2 update to their popular media player, Quicktime. As always, it is not recommended to upgrade to the newest version until Avid has been able to test and qualify this version with our editing products. Do not download the latest versions of Quicktime. Once Avid has been able to test the 7.2 release, and code any required patches for it, another Tech Alert will be posted on the Avid knowledge base web site. It is advised that you turn off "Automatic Updates" for Quicktime to prevent unexpected / undesired updates from happening. This is a way for you to control when you want to update.
