Is 2020 better w Catalina?

[Southsidemusic]

Sorry to say many users has huge video issues and other problems tied to the video engine so I would either stay on the system that you have working now or wait to use the video engine with 2020.3 as we have given up on video work on PTU for now. All kind of issues

All testing on our new Mac Pro’s 7.1 machines with Catalina and must say our Trashcans with HS one 2 of them and mOjave one 1 we have better performance on the two HS Trashcans so hope Avid and Catalina support catches up.

I know many say Yeah Catalina is working great but I am sceptical those guys are actually using their systems for large commercial sessions with a lot of automation and VI.

One interesting thing is video filed that was on the internal SSD was error ridden but after moving them to an external SSD drive thode same movs worked again ... all in a days ... problem solving ... Avid is a funny entity!

Hope all is well and you got better luck than we did with 2020.3

Althougy for music it is pretty great and feels snappier and more stable. IMHO of course and as we all know some users with the same setup but maybe a different ssd drive or ram and some different plugins can have huge implications for errors ut so far we are pleased and as we are using Track folders all the time on Live and Logic x this was a good release for our needs.
