If you rely heavily on Coremelt TrackX or Pixel Film Studios ProTracker , you can now delete them. Apple’s native Object Tracker is faster and more stable.

: The update significantly optimized media engine utilization on Macs equipped with Apple silicon (M1 and M2 chips), allowing for faster exports of these widely used codecs.

Panic, cold and sharp, spiked in his chest. In the old days of non-linear editing, this was a "start over" moment. But Elias remembered the specific promise of the Apple Silicon architecture.

In practical testing, the claimed export speed improvements were subtle but measurable. For instance, some users noted a in export speed for HEVC files on high-end configurations like the M1 Max Mac Studio. Standard projects saw minor reductions—such as a 3-minute video exporting a few seconds faster—though extremely complex projects with heavy graphical overlays occasionally showed inconsistent results compared to previous versions.
