AMA Plugin Compatibility for Media Composer 7.0 and NewsCutter 11.0

Posted in Pro Tools

With the release of Media Composer 7 and NewsCutter 11, new versions of AMA plugins will be qualified for use with this release.

Some plugins from third parties will not be available at the time of release. This article will be updated as they are released.

Existing AMA plugins already installed for Media Composer 6.5, Symphony 6.5, and NewsCutter 10.5 can be used with Media Composer 7 and NewsCutter 11, however these configurations are not qualified and you may experience issues. We recommend installing the updated AMA plugins as soon as they become available from their manufactures if you rely on them in your workflow.

Note: Use of AMA clips with Background Transcode and Dynamic Media Folders will require the qualified plugins to ensure functionality.

The following file types are not supported for Dynamic Media Folders in Media Composer 7 or NewsCutter 11

  • Uncompressed 8 bit and 10 bit Quicktime files
  • Quicktime files that include an alpha channel
  • Sony XDCAM, XDCAM EX, XAVC, RAW, HDCAM SR
