QT 7
I just installed QT 7 on a test disk. Disk has a full install of 10.3.9 and Production Suite.
Did not upgrade to Pro version of QT. QT player is now the non-Pro version 7.
A couple of quick tests showed normal operation from FCP HD and LT.
Was able to export H.264 from FCP.
Surprised me.

That’s how it’s supposed to be. Upgrading to QuickTime Pro ONLY affects the QuickTime PLAYER application, nothing else. You will still be able to export to H.264 and the other codecs from FCP, Compressor, After Effects etc even if you don’t have the QT Pro upgrade.

I was under the impression that QT Pro was required for FCP since it’s included in the install. Never too old to learn!

It certainly USED to be that way. Perhaps they changed some code in version 4.5, or some code in a recent QT version. But yeah, you used to lose all your exporting from FCP if you didn’t install Pro. That’s also why Pro was given free with FCP. Many times in the past I’ve upgraded to a new version of QT before FCP came out with the free install key and my export functions were crippled. Good to hear they’ve fixed that.
