Now, why would this be disabled? 😕 (This was an advertised feature)
 
Hmm... Dunno why it happened, but this article tells you how to re-enable it (and how to disable it again if you like). 🙂

Having said that, I have a feeling some video-editing apps disable it.
 
Thanks mad jew 🙂

I'm confused. Terminal says its on, system profiler says it isn't 😕

Yeah, throw it against the wall... Sideways!

Alternatively, reboot and see what they both say...
