  Quicktime 7 Pro

  Posted by Nick Toth on July 2, 2011 at 5:29 am

  I wiped the drive on my laptop and installed Snow Leopard (including QT 7) and then FCP X. Now I do not have Pro functions in QT 7. Anyone else see this? I can’t find any info about it and wonder if I need to either purchase a key to unlock pro or re-install FCS. Does FCP X not unlock the Pro functions of QT 7? That would suck…

  You need to optionally install it from the Snow Leopard DVD.

  It is what? Pro or not pro? I think Apple may have removed the pro player from FCPX.

  All the best,

  I believe you’re right Tom. I had FCS on this computer (Macbook Pro) but wiped the drive and re-installed Snow Leopard including QT Player 7 and FCP X/Motion 5. Now I don’t have QT Pro capabilities. I’m going to try installing Livetype from my FCS package and see if that’s enough to re-enable it. I don’t need the full FCS install on my laptop since I’m basically going to use it for testing and transitioning to X.

  You could install FCP. I think that’s needed to trigger it, run FCP once, then use FSC Remover to delete. The QT pro functionality should remain.

  All the best,

  When you installed Snow Leopard you have a newer version of QT. Apple removed the pro functions from QT. I installed FCS on my laptop with Snow Leopard and did not get a Pro version of QT.
  Let us know if you find a solution.

  There is no pro version of the QT X player. However the Snow Leopard install disc comes with the QT 7 player. This should always be installed and used, not the QT X player. The QT 7 player will upgrade to the pro version when FCP is installed.

  All the best,

  Tom

  When installing Adobe CS5 does it work with QT 7 or does it look for QT X ?

  What’s the process to get back to QT 7 Pro once FCS has been loaded with QT X ?

  Sorry to tell; it is not working like that for me. I have tried both with and without removing shared files. The Quicktime 7 Pro function is gone with the FCP 7.
