I've actually been using Samsung T7 portable drives for some indie feature projects. Work great and are cheap enough to buy a few extra for backups.

I'm currently running MC 2023.12 on my 2023, 16" M2 MBPro with no problems at all. But I'd like to add I/O gear to send picture to a client monitor, and sound to external speakers. In the paast, I've used AJA and Blackmagic devices, but I'm seeing some feeedback online that the currrent versions aren't compatible with MC on

Well, I can only reference my specific situation. I'm using MC 2023.8.2 on a 2023 MacBook Pro 16" M2 Pro w 32GB RAM, running Ventura 13.5. Currently ediitng a feature film with 2K dailies off of an externa USB-C hard drive. No peripherals or I/O gear. It has been 100% rock solid.

I recently took the plunge and finally upgraded from my trusty 2017 15" MacBook Pro Retina. I purchased a 16" M2 MacBook Pro. Currently running Avid 2023.8.2 on Ventura 13.5. I primarily cut indie freatures and this set up has been working flawlessly. I exprienced an initial bug invloving dragging with segement mode in the timeline with 2023

I'm in this exact same situation. I pretty much only edit feature films and narrative longform, with dailies transcoded to 1080P. I plan to get a new M2 16" MacBook Pro pretty soon, but I'm going for the base level stock configuration with 16GB RAM. Why? Because I'm upgrading from my current laptop which is a 2015 Retina MacBook Pro

Thansk to everyone for all of these replies! This feedback pretty much syncs (pun intended) with my concerns too. I'm walking into an existing workflow, and there are several other things that IMHO need to be changed, so just wasn't sure if I wanted to rock the boat about this too...

Yup, that was my feeling on the matter. I just couln't think of any obvious "gotcha", as long as all channels are being replicated and there's no loss of quality...

I’m gearing up to edit a low budget feature film for some first time filmmakers. They plan to send audio from the sound mixer to be recorded in camera as they shoot, in addition to a field recorder. The idea is to edit with the camera audio to save time in syncing and organizing. The seperate audio tracks would just be a backup, and ideally identical

I just loooked at the list of qualified Mac systems along with the new 2021.2 update, and no longer see my trusty 15" mid-2015 Retina MacBook Pro on the list. Is this machine really no longer supported?

I'm starting a new film project and find that I can't autosync clips using inpoints. Despite selecting my audio and video clips and choosing "inpoints" as the type of sync for aautosync, I still get an error message about mismatched timecode. The software seems to be ignoring my selection and sticking with the default choice of timecode
