CPU / Processor incompatibility with Capture One 20 (13.1.x)

  • Updated

With the release of the new version of Capture One in May 2020 (13.1.0), came some new features that meant some old dependencies in the software had to be removed.

Unfortunately, with this update, a few Macintosh computers are now incompatible with Capture One 20 (13.1.0) and later versions. The processors (CPUs) in these older machines are no longer supported due to the lack of SSE4.2 support - something Capture One relies on in order to work efficiently.

Put simply, if your Mac was manufactured around 2010 (or older) then it is likely that it will not be able to run Capture One 20 (13.1.x), so you will have to use version Capture One 20 (13.0.4).
In order to get this version please contact support and submit the request.

The earliest supported processor is the Intel i3 (1st generation).

This is part of the constant developmental nature of Capture One, as we continue to utilize the newest hardware and software possible, in order to give you a smooth editing experience.

    But my MacPro DOES support SSE4.2:-

    Mac-Pro:~ xxxxxxxx sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features

    machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 PCLMULQDQ DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 POPCNT AES PCID

    There does not seem to be full information here?

    Hi Virge,

    Let me know if you need Capture One 20 (13.0.4).

    I will send you a link in the direct message.

    same problem for me - link to v 13.0.4 takes you only to v 13.1.4 - which won't work on my iMac from 2009 running OS High Sierra 10.13.6. It wil install but crashes as sson as you try to import some NEF files from my Nikon Z50.

    I do have problems IF the RAM and Processor are not adequate - BUT it would help if CaptureOne Support was a lot clearer.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with my MacBook pro from 2010. It can't run 13.1.4.
    Where can I download the 13.0.4 version of CaptureOne ?

    I've registered the express Fujifilm version and want to use it for my trips with this MacBook. I've C1 2021 on my desktop.

    Thanks a lot.

    Cyril
