Requirements

Media Composer

A Media Composer | Ultimate (or beyond) subscription or a Perpetual license is required. If you're not on this year's Media Composer release, we recommend running at least the latest minor version of the year you're on.

Can't find a Mimiq version for a just-released version of Media Composer? Give it a few days, as we typically release a compatible version within a week after Avid releases a new major.

Have you already installed a Media Composer that's too new? Roll back to the last supported Media Composer, reboot your computer, and check your inbox.

Operating Systems

• macOS 10.14.6 (requires a Pro license and Mimiq 18.1)

• macOS 10.15.7 or newer

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit, Pro and Enterprise)

  • Media Composer is not qualified for use on Windows Home or Server editions.

  • You must use an Administrator account to install or uninstall Mimiq.

macFUSE

Workspaces on macOS require macFUSE. Mimiq automatically downloads the latest compatible version for the most recent macOS release.

As macFUSE releases tend to be backward compatible, installing the latest macFUSE release tends to suffice. If not, you can find older releases at the macFUSE website.

Our installation and troubleshooting guide for macFUSE is in the Workspaces section.

Avid's Requirements

Mimiq has a broader range of supported OSs and Media Composer than Avid. A complete list of qualified combinations of operating systems and Media Composer is available at Avid:

Independent of Mimiq, Avid has very specific requirements for using Media Composer at peak performance. We've gathered a shortlist of these and published them here:
