Avid are pleased to announce the release of Media Composer v8.6.3. Media Composer v8.6.3 contains a few changes and many fixes which were included in v8.6.2 and now are included in v8.6.3. See attached Readme file
Changed in v8.6.3 : This version of the editing application fixed an installer issue. With the Media Composer 8.6.2, customers may have experienced a crash when launching the application if a previous version was not uninstalled first. Media Composer v8.6.3 will install properly.
Availability: Media Composer v8.6.3 will be made available from My Avid Master Avid Accounts, Application Manager, and the Avid Download Center (login and password required).
Mac OS X Update: This release adds support for Mac OS v10.11.6
Very Important - If you are working on a Media Composer | Cloud system, DO NOT upgrade to Media Composer v8.6.3. This specific update of the editing application will not launch properly on and is not supported on a Media Composer | Cloud system. Alternatively, Media Composer v8.6.1 is supported and can be installed properly on a Media Composer | Cloud system. Please refer to either the Media Composer 8.6.3 ReadMe or the Media Composer | Cloud 3.6.1 ReadMe for more details.
How to obtain the v8.6.3 Update: Customers who have already installed the latest version of Media Composer will be notified of the availability of the upgrade via the Application Manager. The Apps tab will also provide a link to download and install the update when desired.
New customers who purchase Media Composer will receive this v8.6.3 update in their Master Avid Account (My Avid)
Customers on current Upgrade & Support plans can download the Media Composer v8.6.3 update either from their Master Avid Account or the Avid Download Center (login and password required.)
