Best QT version for FCP 5.1.4

[Shane Ross]

QT 7.1.6 is the most stable one in my experience.

I currently have 7.3.1
Should I just drag it to the trash and install 7.1.6?

Since installing 7.3.1 my seritek/firmtek external HDD’s have disappeared from the desktop. I haven’t sorted this out yet but I suspect QT is the culprit.

Shane,
May I ask what version of the other ProApps are you running with FCP5.1.4? When I did the down convert to OS10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6, I can get either FCP or Compressor to work, but not both.

I got them both to work nicely together now.
IYI, I had to reinstall both applications along with Qmaster. I think the problem was when doing the software update after installing from disc. If I included the ProApps Security Update 2006-02 with the other software updates either Compressor or FCP wouldn’t work. Instead after reinstalling all three from disc, when I did the software update I updated FCP to 5.1.4, Motion to 2.1.2, Compressor to 2.3 and Qmaster to 2.3. Seems to be working alright. Will update if anything goes wrong.
