REAPER uses VLC to decode videos for smooth playback when video editing. What’s complicated is all the different versions of VLC and REAPER and which combinations work.
There is actually a hidden Universal Binary version of VLC that is the best choice for macOS REAPER users right now.
If you are on an M1 mac running the Universal build of REAPER, this is the best choice because it works even when you run REAPER in Rosetta mode. Additionally, this version will work on Intel macs as well.
Go here and get the Universal Binary download

This is super helpful information as I am ramping up to do some videos of my own soon. Everything you share on the REAPERBLOG and your YT channel is clear and concise. I can’t thank you enough. Thank you!
