Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Reverting Quicktime

    Hey all:

    I know this isn’t technically a FCP question but methinks my Quicktime version is screwing up my Final Cut Pro.

    I have operating system 10.3.9 and Quicktime 7.2.0 installed. I want to revert back to an earlier version of Quicktime but don’t know how.

    We called Apple and they told us because we don’t currently have any technical support remaining on a system, they won’t tell us how to do it. (But they’d be happy to for $50.) This sounds ludicrous to me.

    Does anyone have any input? Thanks.

    Jay

    I’d like to know as well.

    Because you’ve got final cut i’ll assume you have QT Pro. In order to retain the ability to use Pro instead of the regular, i believe you will have to uninstall (delete) FCP Studio and Quicktime.

    The next step though i am not sure of the order.

    Either go to Apple.com and download the version of QT you want and install. Then install FCP and it should be upgraded to Pro but Pro at the version you want.

    or

    Install FCP and QT Pro will also be installed.

    Sounds like a lot, but could be worse. We’re getting a new avid but we’ll have to reinstall the OS from an old OSX install disk then update only to the level we need. We download the required OSX update from Apple.

    Have look at my post here for a “how to” revert to QT 7.1.6:
