Installing support for special codecs to view and transcode

Playing back RAW files in Strada makes it easy to share large original camera files without cloud. But you may need to install special codec support in order for it to work.

Written by Michael Cioni

Mac users can install the below links and add support for additional video formats right into Strada. BUT you need to install these on the SOURCE computer that is hosting all your media (not just the viewer).
​

  1. TERMINAL COMMAND


Open up a TERMINAL WINDOW and paste this command into Terminal:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

After you run this command, there is no need for you to restart. It should work immediately.
