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

As previously noted, Media Composer 2019.6 introduced several significant changes to the interface, media storage, and system requirements.  Below are links to Avid’s documentation on Media Composer 2019.x, for your reference:

We will notify all Ocean Systems customers once we have thoroughly vetted the all new Media Composer 2019.x, and confirmed stability & compatibility with dTective®

dTective® v8.1 supports ALL versions of Media Composer 2018.x, including the very latest which is version 2018.12.7 (released 08-07-2019).

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

To learn more about the new Media Composer 2019.x, we recommend Avid’s Tutorial playlist on YouTube.
