Do I need anytime Quicktime Pro

I am using Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and do have the latest Quicktime installed on Leopard.
Do I need the Quicktime Pro license if I like to use the export from FCE with "Quicktime conversion" or is there something I may miss if not?

Well Nick Holmes,
with answers like this one I will not ever get a answer to my basic problem. I am trying to find out, what makes me stupid as I get different colors on output from what I see in Final Cut.
My problem is equal to which version I use - Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro - I think, so may be the reason comes not from Final Cut itself than from other components on my Mac.
Let me explain what I asked in the Final Cut Express forum today:
I have a clip listed in the bin of my project. This clip is in Apples Intermediate Codec because it comes from a AVCHD source and was logged to my Mac with FCEs logging and transferring option.
I used a filter on that clip - it is still not in the timeline only in the bin listed - and made it a bit darker and gave it more contrast.
I than exported this clip at 1920x1080 px to a .mov file with codec setting of PhotoJPEG. This file was fine, all colors and saturation are as in FCE.
Then I had to export that clip again to H.264 because the customer needed a smaller file and wanted this kind of compression. This export file was in colors and saturation/contrast exactely as the original, so as if the filter I used I didn't use.
I did a third test and used the first and fine created PhotoJPEG file from FCE and took it into Elgatos Turbo.264 app and let it export from there to a H.264 file (setting for Apple TV).
Now all colors were as they should (ok, the file was smaller in size and dimension).
Why do I get by exporting from FCE to H.264 (.mov file) a file that seems to be without my filter and why it differs from the output from Elgatos Turbo.264?

  • Laptop crashed.  New.  Need Quick Time Pro download

    I have the registration from my purchase.  Just need the Quicktime pro download link. 
    Any help?

    I tried this... Downloaded the player 7.  I input my registration key & it say's that it is invalid. My order number is: Order Number: W495082701. I ordered this on Aug 6th & had to get a new laptop last week.
    What should I do now?

  • Quicktime Pro VS Sorenson Squeeze which is better for uploading to YouTube?

    I'm thinking of buying Quicktime Pro or Sorenson Squeeze - which is better for uploading to YouTube? Which would give my video better quality?
    Also, with regard to Sorenson Squeeze: The website says these are its requirements - could someone explain what each of them means in logical terms?
    Mac OS X system requires:
    Power PC with G5 processor or greater or Intel processor - (I'll be using this program with a MacBook Pro - will this work?)
    Mac OS X 10.4 or later - (Again, will this work with a MacBook Pro?)
    512 MB of RAM
    QuickTime 7.2 or later
    DirectX 9.0b or later (What is this and how will I get it? Is it free?)
    * Mac users must have the Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream (Is this plugin free?) ** Windows only feature * Plugin sold separately
    Please be as specific as possible.
    Thank you so much in advance for answering my questions! It is really helpful!

    First.
    You have no control over the conversion to Flash video (done during the YouTube upload) if you use QuickTime .mov format.
    Second.
    YouTube does allow H.264 Video for its "high quality" display so you would want a QuickTime .mov container.
    Now you are even more confused than when you started.
    Flip4Mac allows export from QuickTime (and apps like iMovie that use it) to Windows Media Player (.wmv) formats. They will also be converted to Flash Video by YouTube so you gain nothing by using it.
    You don't need Squeeze, QuickTime Pro or the Flip4Mac upgrades. Just use iMovie 7 (part of iLife '08).

  • Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

    I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

    You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

  • I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

  • Is there a way to export still images from Quicktime or do I need Quicktime Pro (and is Quicktime Pro even still a thing?)

    I'm sure there used to be an option "export to still image" but not any more.
    Do I need to switch to Quicktime Pro? I used to have it back in my P.C. days but I'm not sure if Quicktime Pro is even a thing any more.
    I don't want to go down the "screen grab" option because my source footage is larger than the screen size and so I want to do my cropping after I've exported the stills, not before.

    I played a little with live trace in CS5. Seems to do quite a good job if I had the right contrast between the blood (white stuff) and the myocardium (the dark circular wall surrounding the white round area). Picture one is the contrasted picture taken off a dicom medium (these media allow adjusting the contrast very well). Left ventricle is the smiley face on the right of image. The right ventricle is on the left, kind of D shaped. The second picture is the live trace image (with "make and expand" selection). I selected the image with the "direct selection tool (A)", then used the live trace with make and expand. The tracing can not be seen here, but it is very accurate.
    The third image is the same MRI image as in picture one without contrast adjustment. Live trace did bad - fourth picture.

  • HT2438 Do I need QuickTime Pro to do this?

    Will it work?  I am pretty much a novice.  I viewed a VHS format video on the TV and re-recorded it using the IPhone.  I want to be able to upload the movie clip to YouTube so that my kids can see old movies of themselves online.  Would that be possible with QuickTime Pro (which I don't have yet?)  My error message was Error 36.

    Just connect your iPhone to your computer, and sync the video to your computer. 
    To upload these video's, you would need a Youtube account - www.youtube.com/upload.
    You should not need Quicktime at all to do this.

    Hello, had to move to mavericks lost quicktime Pro, Need the feature for looping audio sections repeatedly, I have the install Key from my old QT Pro version, any ideas?

    If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

    Instructions on how to register your QuickTime Pro key can be found in that same document.

  • Is All I Need Quicktime Pro?

    Hello, if i pay $29.99 and get Quicktime Pro will that allow me to convert videos into MPEG4? Also will it put the video in the right size to copy into i tunes and into my ipod?
    Do i need videora if i get Quicktime Pro or is Quicktime Pro all i need?
    Any help is much appreciated
    Tom

    Well if you don't want to pay. Videora iPod Converter is a good substitute (and free!).
    Quicktime (and Videora) have settings specific for the iPod which you can select (not sure how to in QuickTime Pro. I think its when you save it? Videora has it by default cause the program is specfically for the iPod)
    If you want to spend the money, yes get QuickTime Pro, I'd think it is better than Videora, not sure though.

  • I must be clueless...just purchased quicktime pro...need some help

    so I just purchased quicktime pro...I purchased it on my work computer, because I was bored...and figured I would take the code home, and put it on my mac book. I didn't put the code or key on my work computer at all.
    I guess my question is do I need the internet to activate my quick time pro at home? because I don't have the internet at home. I know I know...everyone does.
    I did go to a coffee shop where they have wireless and I put the numbers in (on my mac book), and it didn't do anything...it just highlighted the code, and that is it. does it install anywhere that I can physically see? or does it just turn on the quicktime pro features?

    I'm thinking I put the code in my mac book, and figured I needed to see something visual installing and didn't realize that it just turns it on.
    Actually, there are a number of indicators. If you open the "Register" tab in "QuickTime Preferences...", you should see that your registration number remains as entered. (Should have been erased if your entries are rejected.) In addition, it should now say "QuickTime Pro 7" below your registration number. If you open the "About QuickTime Player" menu option, the QT blue "Q" should now have the word "Pro" superimposed on it. Lastly, all of the menu options that were previously grayed/covered by the word "Pro" are now working.

  • Need QUICK! help for Quicktime Pro Install

    I came in this morning knowing I'd be pressed for time, and that I needed to convert a WMA file to an MP3 for a meeting. I decided to use Quicktime Pro 7. I made the purchase and have been trying for a 45 minutes of precious time to get it installed but am running into one bit of crap instructions after another. First, the instructions say to go into my system preferences and click the Quicktime icon. There isn't one. Next it says to download Quicktime 7 and load Quicktime Pro as an upgrade to that. Downloaded QT7, installed and it went off into space somewhere. Not in my applications folder.
    I'm running out of time. Why can't this just be an install process like any other normal program intead of making a person crazy?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Runing OS 10.6.8 on a hugely capable system.

    Oh, I think I get it now. So Quicktime Pro 7 will never show up as Quicktimje Pro 7, as advertised, but will be cleverly hidden within Quicktime Player 7 so that after it is actually loaded, it will still be called Quicktime Player 7, and there will be no visually recognizeable evidence that the install was successful, unless you've experienced this before and know what to drill down & look for, which rarely is the case when a person purchases and installs a software for the first time.
    Both the Registration and About windows will display the  normal QT 7 icon with the "Pro" text embedded to indicate QT 7 is properly keyed for "Pro" use, as well as, "un-greying" the "Pro" specific options in various menu windows when content is loaded/a player window has been opened. As  explained on various Apple web pages, purchasing the "Pro" key does not add any new codecs and does not download any new software. It only turns on the track/layer editing and conversion features for direct access from within QT 7 without having to purchase a full editing app like FCP. This is the way classic QT has worked for the last decade since I started using v5.
    Thanks for the kind and thorough assist, though, Jon. I'll manage from here. Curious about the South Jersey Apple Users Group. I'm up at the northern border, in the lakes region, town called Ringwood.
    The SJAUG primarily hosts membership throughout "South" Jersey (i.e., from Burlington County to Cape May County.) In the past, when membership was more active, we actually held meetings twice a month (Medford leas and Pine Hill School) to host a split membership. The Video SIG used to be quite active but between the split meetings, dwindling membership, aging membership (many have been members for 10-15 years and at 66, I am considered one of the younger members), and closing of the Pine Hill meeting venue (Pine Hill meeting members now usually go to the MUGSNJ at Gloucester County College), our membership and SIG activities have greatly been reduced over the last few years. In any case, we normally meet the third Saturday of each month at the Meford Leas facility just off Rt 70 in Medford. (http://www.sjaug.org)
    I have not visited user groups farther north than the Princeton area. Would invite you down to the next meeting (26 Jan '13) but I'm sure there are closer groups if you are interested. Retired, my video/QT interests are promarily centered on the creating and maintaining of my own personal video library for iTunes/TV/Airvideo management/streaming of content.
