Ocean Systems recommends that dTective® users leveraging archive-R, hold off on upgrading their systems to the new Media Composer 2019.x until further notice.

Initial testing indicates that all dTective® and ClearID® effects work as intended with Media Composer 2019.x,
however, “archive-R” currently does NOT support 2019.x

archive-R supports ALL versions of Media Composer up to 2018.12.9 (released 12-10-2019).

Starting with Media Composer 2019.6, Avid introduced several significant changes to the interface, media storage, and system requirements and began maintaining two different “versions” of their application; 2018.x and 2019.x.

Below are links to Avid’s documentation on Media Composer 2019.x, for your reference:
