64-bit Issues in Max

With Max 8, 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported. As a result, some technologies and objects that were available in earlier versions of Max may be unavailable.

QuickTime

QuickTime is unavailable under 64-bit Windows, and has reduced functionality in 64-bit MacOS. Therefore, objects and functions that were based on QuickTime capabilities are not supported, including:

• jit.avc
• jit.broadcast
• jit.qt.effect~
• jit.qt.broadcast
• jit.videoout
• spigot~

Codec support for the Macintosh AVF engine is limited. The known supported codecs are:

• H264
• Photo-Jpeg
• ProRes

3rd Party Externals

3rd party externals require conversion to 64-bit equivalents by the developer. 32-bit externals cannot be used by the 64-bit Max application.
