And this has what to do with this thread?

I could tell you but would have to kill you. 😉

PT2018 is 64 bit and doesn't have 32 bit code.

If I would be in your shoes I would refrain from posting about things you obviously have no clue about.

BScout gave you a very nice hint, use it.

This is my last comment on this subject.

From memory it’s a PT QuickTime process. Been a while since I checked, but pretty sure that’s what it is.

Pro Tools QuickTime Server is still 32 Bit, which is what is triggering the warning since it launches when you launch Pro Tools.

Unfortunately you're wrong Pro Tools Quick Time server is still 32Bit and easily confirmed from the Activity monitor app on a Mac

ProTools QuickTime Server is 32 bit, that would seem to be the culprit.

I got this warning too, since I updated to Mojave recently. I run 2019.12. It's says in the Activity Monitor it's Pro Tools QuickTime Server which indeed still is 32bit...

If you looked at the announcement Avid put out about 2019.12 they said it was limited support for Catalina because of certain video codecs. It would stand to reason this also carries over to Mojave. Avid still hasn't totally solved that part of the equation yet.

Thanks: I knew about codecs, but wasn't sure it that would mean the actual engine runs in 32bit.
