has anyone tested the exports to see if their issues went away yet?
also, anyone know how to change password here doesn't seem to be a button in the profile page

I am getting this update, (image attached) but it keeps failing on install. 

And Apple.com says it's an old update.  support.apple.com/kb/DL2050?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

This happened to me this past April. but for Version 2.2.3. And I said similar things then.

Very strange. Clearly this is a new version. The support doc isn't getting updated. Not sure why it's failing to install. Tried installing on both Monterey and Ventura. 

Similar to RGPphotog, I also had the update appear yesterday (and in April). However, it seems like the "Prov Video Formats" was installed on my system. Screenshot attached showing items in System Information. Curious...
(macOS 12.6.1, 2019 Mac Pro)



Note: The two installs shown in December 2021 were related to cases where I re-installed macOS while troubleshooting a sleep issue, just after receiving the computer.

I wonder if this is a intel/Apple Silicon thing?  I have none of those listed on my Mac Studio. 

Well I stand corrected on that theory, I have .2 and .3 present on my M1 Max MBP and my 2019 MBP. (2019 is the one currently toying with Ventura)

Okay, I tried downloading form the support doc. and it installed 2.2.4.

I was hesitant since the page implies it's an out-of-date version.

How I've managed to go this long on the Mac Studio without ANY of the Pro Video Formats installed – and without any issues - is interesting.

But okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe some of the issue is due to recent macOS changes, where Apple has segregated the non-user part of the system, which we can no longer "touch"/change. Hence, you see things like "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD-Data". Accordingly, the "Pro Video Formats" are now included as part of macOS itself (from what I've read somewhere), so it's curious why the separate install still shows up. This is why you may not have seen any record of "Pro Video Formats" being installed on your newer systems...

RGPphotog, if you've got any interest and some time to burn, you could download "Suspicious Package" ( www.mothersruin.com/software/SuspiciousPackage/ ) and open the "ProVideoFormats.pkg" installer file you downloaded. You can inspect various aspects, such as where the files get installed, type of installed items (Intel or Apple Silicon), etc.

It is confusing... the page with the "Pro Video Formats 2.2.4" installer is dated 25 August 2020...
