Default What is the latest OSX Avid has qualified?

What is the latest OS X that Avid has certified. What about the Mojave OS X? Will Mojave be qualified when it is available. If not how long will that typically take?
Thanks

First question's answer is
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...tibility-Chart
That gets updated when Avid approves more.

Your other questions have no answer or comment.
Avid does not talk about or release that info until they are ready to approve a version (and they update the list above, when they do.) Anyone else who gives you an "answer" is just guessing.

Also of importance make sure your video card works with Metal as you'll need that for Mojave.

What is Metal? What does it have to do with the video card?

High Sierra does not require a Metal compatible card - it still also uses Open GL. Mojave requires a Metal compatible card.


That being said even if I had a Metal compatible video card I'd wait until Avid has run it's compatibility tests and says it's okay. Remember that those that live on the bleeding edge are doomed to get cut by it.
