PROBLEMS to playing video codec sony a7s3 at 100fps- macos ventura 13.4

Check your local snapshots. You might be able to easily roll back to yesterday. I'm not sure about a Time Machine restore. That's more involved.

Well, I had to reverse to previous version because I don't have time to render et create new files for the 10 project I have per week it's a no go, I hope apple is going to fix this problem asap

what did you try? did you got the installer on the bootable drive?

using terminal, put in softwareupdate --list-full-installers

you can see which installers are available to download

then

1. softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version **.**.*

*= version number

then it will download the installer to your applications folder

have you tried that?

Where did you get an update notice?

Edit: Nevermind, I see.

is it possible to downgrade from ventura13.4 to 13.1 ?

Yes it's possible. You would need a current Time Machine or other backup. You would need to create a USB bootable installer of Ventura 13.3.1 or earlier. You would then need to boot from it, erase the drive of your Mac, then install the version you created. Then you would need to migrate your data over from the backup. Piece of cake. 😎

I have the same problem. I had to stop the work and adapt the files to MXF in order to continue working. There are projects that are too large and have had to be exported to an older system. The damage this has caused to my company is a disaster.

We need an urgent solution

I upgraded to Ventura 13.4 version yesterday and I can't preview any video I shot on Sony Fx3. I am in awe how Apple failed to see such a huge problem! I have to revert to the old version urgently for my workflow and I will not update any future versions until this issue is fixed.

Ive contacted Apple and made them aware. can everyone else in this thread do the same. I dont want to have to do dodgy reversals of OS just to get these files to work again. Lets let them know now so engineers can fix it asap.

Apple are calling me back in a few days to update.

Hi, Ventura 13.4.1 has been released today. Has anyone tested that everything works correctly and these good people at Apple have not broken anything new?

The new version is a security update, it doesn't fix the video playback issue :(

I have just installed it to check, but the problem remains unchanged.

I am really surprised that nobody from Apple has chimed in on this thread to say, "we know about the issue, we're working on it".... A bit worrying that they haven't

It's just a shame. Apple has abandoned professional video users with a bad update. The failure in Apple's MacOS that has caused huge delays and loss of work days in the projects of many video production companies and filmmakers. There is NO response from Apple and it is inadmissible. Having to resort to a PC to solve the problem is very sad. Even worse and cumbersome is having to reinstall older systems because Apple is not capable of solving such a simple problem. We have been suffering for more than a month and Apple does not listen. I am deeply disappointed.

Hello, I am facing a problem similar to yours. After updating to Ventura 13.4.1, none of my 4k 100 fps videos can be played on QuickTime or Davinci Resolve, but they work fine on Adobe. Unfortunately, all my projects are on Davinci, and I didn't initially realize the connection between the update and the issue.

To try and solve the problem, I formatted my MacBook Pro twice, causing me to lose all my settings and reference points. I am now hoping to revert to the previous version, as I have ongoing timelines that I am working on. I am forced to switch to my PC for the time being, but I am fortunate to have saved all my projects.

I am hoping for a quick solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention.

I don't know if this helps but just this morning I had a notice of updates available from Apple and they were all CODEC's.

I have the same issue with FX3 footage at 100fps video codec is different though. I can open the file in quicktime, but it is showing me black.

Same here with content of my FX3. I have a MacBook Air M2, so I'm able to continue working. But projects on my MacBook Pro M1 Max have to pause :-/ How long can a solution for this take...
