    Just wondering, is there any way to run multiple versions of quicktime on the same machine? It seems like AE 6.5 doesn’t like QT v7. I’m working with footage that is compressed with the animation codec, and I see lots of artifacts from other frames. I reverted back to QT 6.x and the problem went away.

    Nope, you can’t have multiple versions of QT under one OS. Since QT and its CoDecs runs as a system component every install replace the other files with the same name.

    That makes sense.
    I remember hearing alot about problems with QT 7 and AE. Was there ever a patch or fix available? I searched the posts, but found 100’s of unrelated quicktime problems.

    Actually everything after QT 7.0.3 should work fine. Apple simply overshot the line a little by forgetting all their legacy functions when implementing all that H.264 and other CoDec stuff, but problems should be fixed.
