This article contains Avid's response to this Apple article: About legacy media in Final Cut Pro X

Apple has released an article related to the future of codec support with Apple FCP X and identified that DNxHD and DNxHR will not be supported in future releases of that product. DNxHD and DNxHR within the QuickTime wrapper have been traditionally supported by various products on the

acOS platform either through native integration by various

acOS based applications, or through the plugin mechanism that the QuickTime 7 ™ libraries have provided.

With the deprecation of the QuickTime 7 libraries, support for these formats is now based on each media application supporting these codecs natively using 64 bit compliant and performance-tuned libraries available through Avid, or each application vendor’s own implementation using the SMPTE VC-3 standards specifications that the DNx family of codecs are based on.

As such, for customers using Apple Computers and

acOS, this announcement does not affect Pro Tools and Media Composer, any other products that have chosen to implement DNxHD and DNxHR natively in the aforementioned manner, or, DNxHD/HR supported through MXF wrappers. DNxHD, DNxHR, Pro Tools and Media Composer will continue to be supported and will be compatible with the current and future releases of

acOS. We will continue to improve or introduce new features for DNxHD and DNxHR, proven by recent release of DNxUncompressed option, and will support these new features on various operating systems, including

acOS
