Default PT 12.5 and macOS Catalina

Hey guys,

I've been using PT 12.5 for Mac. Of course as I've updated operating systems, PT12.5 seems to no longer work with the latest Mac OS's. I just upgraded to OS Catalina. Is there a workaround to get PT 12.5 to still function on my Mac, like a partition or using an external HD or something thereof? Thanks!

Yes.

Dual boot your machine with an OS other than Catalina. One that is supported. So Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave.

Erm.. in case of 12.5 you need 10.9 to 10.11 so time to upgrade PT to latest version.

Compatibility info here:

Good catch.

I read that as PT 2019.5 as opposed to PT 12.5.

Catalina support should not be so far away but will require latest PT anyway

You have a better chance of seeing Slate release updates for their plugins than getting Catalina compatibility before Christmas.

Thanks for the replies guys. So summing up the replies, it appears that my best option would be dual booting with an earlier Mac OS, correct? Because even if I upgrade to the latest version of PT, it will not work in OS Catalina yet.

Yes, for now if you need Catalina and PT you need two systems
