Compressor 4.10 not working on Sonoma, need upgrade

Is there any version of Compressor available which will run with Sonoma 14.8.4? If so, where can I get the upgrade? I have Compressor v 4.10 which won't run on my 2019 27"5K iMac or M1 MacBook Pro with Sonoma.


I'd rather not upgrade to Sequoia at this time just to run Compressor.


Thx

In 14.8.3 works Compressor fine!

While waiting for a possible fix, a workaround might be to install Sonoma 14.8.3 (available via Terminal and softwareupdate) on an external disk.

NO CHANCE, I've already tried all versions, none of them work!!!

Take 14.8.3 or another OS!

This is most unfortunate. I hope it gets fixed, but please do let Apple know, via the feedback page:

Compressor 4.10 requirements are Sonoma 14.6 or later. Are you saying that specifically in 14.8.4 it does not work?
