Compressor and High Sierra 10.13.6

Question

Compressor and High Sierra 10.13.6

Hi, I’m running MACOS High Sierra 10.13.6 and FCPX 10.4.6.

I have understood that todays current version of Compressor (4.4.5) is not compatible with MACOS versions below 10.14.6.

I figure that I would therefore need to install Compressor 4.3.2.

To be completely sure, I would like to ask:

1. Is Compressor 4.3.2 in fact compatible with FCPX 10.4.6 and MACOS High Sierra 10.13.6 ?

2. If so then where can I buy/download this version Compressor ?

I would very much appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this for me…Thanks very much/cheers V

I get this conflicting info...

Apple said the following versions will support macOS High Sierra:

Final Cut Pro X 10.3.4 or later

Motion 5.3.2 or later

Compressor 4.3.2 or later

Logic Pro X 10.3.1 or later

MainStage 3.3 or later

Older versions of Apple pro video applications — including applications in Final Cut Studio — will not launch on a computer running macOS High Sierra.

New versions of Apple pro video applications — including Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 — are compatible with macOS High Sierra. You can purchase these applications on the Mac App Store.

Final Cut Pro X

Minimum System Requirements

macOS 10.14.6 or later

4GB of RAM (8GB recommended for 4K editing, 3D titles, and 360° video editing)

Metal-capable graphics card

Thanks very much for your helpful reply,

I’m relieved to learn that the new versions are indeed compatible with High Sierra!

I guess one can conclude that the system requirements info for FCPX is slightly incorrect since I am running MacOS 10.3.6 and using FCPX 10.4.6 without any problems.

Thanks again/cheers V
