READ: Thoughts on 32-bit codecs being phased out in macOS by Digital
Rebellion “To be clear, it's not that 32-bit codecs are going away, it's
that all 32-bit software is going away. But it affects video software the
most because the only reason for an app to still be 32-bit in 2018 is because
it uses QuickTime.”
