But, that doesn’t mean that those problems will affect you. This problem will neither go away nor get easier, because Apple updates everything at least once a year.
#SCREENFLOW 5 SIERRA UPGRADE#
It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up. There are days where we spend more time wearing an IT hat – “Should I upgrade or should I wait?” – than doing productive work that generates revenue. This provides a variety of competitive benefits, as well as allowing us to take advantage of new technology sooner not to mention the ability to plug security issues much faster than ever before.īut, this constant updating plays hob with the complex programs and plug-ins that we rely on to run our day-to-day business of video production, editing and distribution. Now, with near instant online distribution, Apple has moved to yearly updates of its operating system. Fixing bugs was cumbersome, so Apple tended to wait until they could be aggregated into a larger release/bug fix. It took time to write the new OS, but also a long time to get it burned to a DVD, shipped to distribution centers and delivered to end users. Years ago, before the advent of macOS X, Apple released new operating systems every two years or so principally because distribution was on DVD. Now, we are on version 10.13.2 and the question of whether to upgrade is increasingly relevant.


When High Sierra was first released, there were enough bugs in it for professional editors to hold off upgrading.

I’ve gotten this question a lot over the last couple of weeks.
