Our offices recently updated to MacOS 15.3.1 and NONE of the files recorded on by our HyperDeck Studio 4k Pro are viewable via QuickTime Player or Final Cut Pro software. It's worth noting that these files can play the audio from the files but not the video. Other video files recorded with the same H.264 codec seem to open without issue, it is just the files from the HyperDeck that won't read correctly. Other programs such as VLC, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve seem to be unaffected. One other note is this appears to be a problem on machines equipped with Apple's M1 and M2 processors. Running the same OS on a intel based Mac hasn't shown any issue.
My guess is that this is likely an Apple issue, but I wanted to post here in case anyone else has run into this problem and knows any workarounds. Unfortunately for us, Our editors primarily use Final Cut Pro on M1 Pro equipped Macs, for editing and this has them dead in the water.
