On the macOS 10.15.4 bug - clarified:
If you've upgraded macOS to 10.15.4, there is a known issue with local attached RAID storage. System will hang when running Media Composer or copying large files. Doesn't happen with earlier versions of macOS.

On #collaboration by handing off projects between editors using different versions of Avid Media Composer: expect problems.
On Universal Media Engine (UME) and Avid Media Access (AMA) - clarified:
UME is not a replacement for AMA.
Again, the choice is between UME vs. QuickTime, which will differ from workflow-to-workflow.

On Transcoding versus Linking Footage - clarified:
Still the best way to work in Avid, transcode everything for max stability and performance. Which means, budget project time for transcoding.
