Avid Editing Application Compatibility with
Pro Tools
General Co-Installation Notes:
• Install Pro Tools first and then Media Composer.
• You must uninstall all older versions of Media Composer or Pro Tools before installing
newer versions.
• Co-install does not support both applications launched simultaneously.
• When you uninstall Pro Tools, choose to uninstall just the application and not the audio
drivers or the editing application no longer sees the devices. On a Macintosh Pro Tools 10
system, this is named the “Safe Uninstall.” On a Macintosh Pro Tools 11 system no
uninstallation is required. On a Windows Pro Tools 10 or 11 system, you must select the first
uninstall option - “Pro Tools Only” - which is not selected by default.
• Mojo SDI will not be supported with Media Composer or Pro Tools 11, but can still be
connected in a co-install configuration for use with Pro Tools 10.
• If you install and configure Avid Mojo DX or Nitris DX hardware on your system, the
editing application does not use any connected Pro Tools audio device for audio input/output
operations. You can also use these audio devices with a software-only version of your Avid
editing application.
• If you run into any issues, uninstall both applications and reinstall Pro Tools first, and then
reinstall your editing application.
• Media Composer v5.0 and later and Pro Tools v8.0.3 and later do not include support for the
Original Mbox. If you want to use the Original Mbox, you should use Media Composer v4.x
and Pro Tools v8.0.1 instead.
• If you want to install your Avid editing application on a system with the Pro Tools Avid
Video Engine installed, you must use one of the following configurations:
- Media Composer v5.5/NewsCutter v9.5 and later with Pro Tools v9.0 or later.
- Media Composer v5.0.x/NewsCutter v9.0.x with Pro Tools v8.5 or earlier.
