Older hardware-based Vectorscopes had the graticule silkscreened on a plastic overlay, so it was fixed and unchanging. The graticule, (sometimes called a reticle), is the overlay that presents targets, reference lines, crosshairs, and other guides to help when interpreting the trace or graph of a Vectorscope’s analysis. More info about this transition can be found on Apple’s support page.It’s time for a new Vectorscope graticule. This total rewrite brings tons of other benefits too, and we’re excited to start sharing them in the coming months. Luckily we’ve been able to leverage much of the work modernizing our video pipeline for EditReady, and we’re committed to releasing ScopeBox 4.0 before the macOS 10.14 release later this year.
Scopebox relies heavily on 32-bit frameworks, and the transition to 64-bit has required a total rewrite of the application.
If and when you update your system to macOS 10.14 or beyond, you will need to upgrade to EditReady. ClipWrap users who have not upgraded to EditReady because they are running older versions of macOS will not be affected, as this transition is only occurring in future macOS versions.
Existing ClipWrap users can read more about the advantages of EditReady (and how to purchase the crossgrade at a discount) at our upgrade page. In addition to 64-bit support, EditReady offers support for many more cameras, and xoffers tons of additional features such as previewing, LUTs, metadata editing and much more. Part of the motivation for EditReady’s design was to prepare for this eventuality. ClipWrapĬlipWrap has been replaced by EditReady, and will not be updated. We are still waiting for guidance from Apple if this functionality will disappear at the same time as 32-bit app support, but have a roadmap in place to address this as we learn more. We do utilize 32-bit frameworks for legacy video formats, but have sequestered them in a background process. Good news! EditReady was designed from the start to be 64-bit. Here’s how the 64-bit transition affects Divergent Media’s applications: EditReady This has been a multiyear process that Divergent Media has been actively planning for. The removal of 32-bit support hits video applications especially hard because Apple has chosen not to modernize all their technologies, and many QuickTime features need to be rewritten, independently implemented / licensed, or dropped in 64-bit. With the release of macOS 10.14, 32-bit apps may no longer run on updated machines. The primary benefit of 64-bit applications is access to more memory.
Apple is transitioning Mac hardware and software from 32-bit to 64-bit technology. The alert is meant to warn users of an upcoming change to macOS that requires developer attention. We are aware of the alert and want to discuss what it means, and how we are addressing the underlying issues. Divergent Media’s 64-bit transition plansīeginning April 12th, users will see the following alert the first time they launch ScopeBox or ClipWrap on macOS 10.13.4.
