Exporting to QT PRO
How do you know if you have QT PRO installed? I already have QT player 7.0.4 and yesterday I purchased QT PRO 7 and received the KEY CODE in an email and I went into the QT Player preferences and put the code in but there was no submit button. When I did a search on my computer for PRO its not showing up. Now to take advantage of PRO once I can find it, do I export out of FCP to Quicktime Conversion then set up all my compression settings from there? If this is the case, I just attempted to do this and I didnt notice anything different in terms of settings. Like I said I dont think the PRO version is installed and not sure how to go about doing it since I got QT PRO from the apple website. I thought sure I downloaded it though to get that Key Code to unlock it!

Start Quicktime. Under the Quicktime Player menu “Buy Quicktime Pro” should be grayed out.
I’m not sure of this, but I thought QT Pro was included with FCP.
Anybody confirm this?To export from Final Cut using Quicktime Pro:
File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion.

If you have FCP, you have Quicktime Pro (which adds no additonal options to anything FCP does). Quicktime Pro enables all the editing, capture and export functions from Quicktime Player only. It only affects the capability of the Quicktime Player.
If you have FCP 5.x, your Quicktime Pro license is activated automatically. If you have an older version of FCP, you received a license key to enter along with your FCP serial number. You dont need to buy the Pro option on a computer you have FCP installed on.
Once again…you get no additional capability from Quicktime Pro within FCP and if you bought a Quicktime Pro license, you wasted your money because buying FCP gets you a key for free.

WOW I knew QT player came with FCP but didnt know the PRO version did. I was always told you had to purchase the PRO version if you wanted to do compression type work. I guess I wasted my money then! 🙁

If you get a second computer w/o FCP, you can use the additional license on it, instead.
