Thanks Roei, I’ve installed quicktime 7 with just the essentials and qt movies seem to play just fine inside of AE and Premiere so that answers my main concerns. My next question is how do you view qt movies on your system without having to put them into AE or Premiere? Another problem is that with just the essentials qt movie files don’t have thumbnails. It’s a major pain not having thumbnails to be able to see what a file is if the name is not descriptive enough. Is there a way to have thumbnails for the qt video files and to be able to play them on your system outside of AE and Premiere with having just the qt essentials? Thanks in advance for any answers anyone may have.
