MC 2020.4 What's New?
"Public Beta" means this is NOT a fully functioning version. The full, qualified version is slated for March/April, 2020. This beta is meant for the purpose of testing. However for new Apple machines that came with Catalina, this version can suffice as a "decent" way to get up-and-running.
Be prepared for the following limitations:
- No support for Nitris DX
- No support for Title Tool (replaced by Titler+)
- No Support for MediaCentral (Interplay)- Only NEXIS 19.12. supported, and with caveats
- QuickTime isn't dead, but there are severe limitations
- List of file types for AMA-Link is severely limited
