This setup guide is also available as a complete video tutorial with voice over - Click to play

macOS

1. Download LDE for macOS 10.15 - macOS 14 Sonoma and beyond.
   Or, if you are using macOS 10.14 Mojave (likely because you are on Media Composer 2018 🫠), then download the legacy version of LDE for macOS 10.14 instead.
2. Close Avid Media Composer if it is currently open
3. Double-click the downloaded LDE installer and click Continue
4. Ensure that all plugins are selected, then click Continue
5. Launch LDE from your Applications folder
6. We recommend that you grant the necessary permissions the first time you open LDE. Otherwise, you can skip this step and do it later when you add your sources. For certain permissions to take effect, you will need to quit and reopen LDE.
