Media Composer 8.9.1 now available... Reply Great News – Media Composer v8.9.1 is available now via My Avid Master Accounts, Application Manager, and the Avid download center (login and password required). The readme is here. Installers: There are ONLY Media Composer v8.9.1 Mac and v8.9.1 Win FULL Installers. No Patch Installers with this release. Changed in v8.9.1: The following has been changed in this release. Nvidia Update - This v8.9.1 release supports Nvidia driver v385.08. Note: If you are using a RED workflow, stay on the v353.82 Nvidia driver. OS Update - This v8.9.1 release has added support for Mac OS v10.12.6. Avid Generic Plug-In’s - Avid continues working to remove dependencies on QuickTime libraries. With this release, theAvid Generic plug-in natively supports the following format for linking and playing. XAVC-S (mp4)! H.264 (.mov and .mp4) Effect Parameters Updates – see ReadMe for information Enable or Disable Media Management for Linked Clips - see ReadMe for information Limitation: The following is a known limitation with this release:In UHD 23 and UHD 59 projects, the editing application consumes a large amount of memory when you perform a video mixdown of XAVC-S based sequences to XAVC-I resolutions. Avid recommends that you do not perform a video mix-down of XAVC-S to XAVC-I. Workaround: Render effects before performing a video mix-down. Fixed in v8.9.1: The following have been fixed in this release ( Bug # are included in the ReadMe ). * In some instances, media might have looked softer after being transcoded. This might have been due to choosing “Half (Best Quality)” option in the Linked Source Scaling Quality setting in the Transcode dialog. This option was not the best scaling quality option. It has been renamed from “Half (Best Quality)” to “Half (Better Quality).” The “Full” option is the default and is the best scaling quality option. Fixed in Media Composer v8.9.1
