FCP 3.0 and QUICKTIME PRO - compatable?

I am running FCP 3.0 on a G5 under SYSTEM 10.3.5 and everything is stable.
Now if I upgrade to the NEW QUICKTIME PRO am I in for any problems?

If I remember correctly, FCP 3 ran fine under 10.3.9. However, FCP 3 will not run under 10.4 unless you do an upgrade install of 10.4 over 10.3 with FCP 3 already installed.
There has been enough gnashing of teeth and cries of pain from folks wanting to run FCP4.5 under 10.4/QT7, I shudder to think of the potential backward compatibility issues with FCP3.
To the OP, your best bet is to stay in 10.3 and QT 6 until you are ready to go to the current version of FCP.
Good luck,

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

I have a Quicktime video posted on my website. It plays perfectly in Safari but won't reload in Firefox unless I clear the cache. I have Firefox 4.0.1, Quicktime plugin 7.6.6 and Quicktime Pro 10.0..

Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

Iphone 4 retina and Quicktime "pro" 7 not compatable? *** !

I am disgusted that apple would sell quicktime pro (7) and advertise that it works for the iphone when the iphone 4 has been out for a year now and QT7 does NOT support the retina display resolution (920 x 640). Only the much older lower resolutions are supported for the iphone 4. Also the h264 compressor apple uses is just terrible. Heck even Videora has a far better H264 compressor and its free !
Steve Jobs, you should be ashamed for STEALING my money!
In all honesty, Convert your mov files with Videora for free and they will look 10 x better than any quicktime "pro" version, do not ever purchase quicktime pro as it is a complete waste of your money and amounts to nothing more that a THEFT of your monies ! I should have gone with the reviews as most are clearly very negative on this old product but I didnt think apple could make something this terrible, hmmm, but they did.

I'm glad yer iPhone plays 720p just like mine but that is not the problem I am having. When you find out why qt pro 7 does NOT support exporting ( using the supplied iphone or h264 settings) the iPhone 4 retina resolution then please respond with the correct reason.
You are obviously using the built-in preset options and not custom settings. You are forgetting that Apple's primary purpose when creating pre-sets is to ensure compatibility. These options are programmed for multi-generation devices and, only support, the quality/settings that are compatible with the least capable device. As such, the TV preset is limited to 960x540 display resolution at 30/29.97 fps and a maximum video data rate of 5.0 Mbps. In a similar manner, the iPhone pre-set is limited to 1620 macroblocks/frame (usually a 720x480 or 720x576 max matrix) and 1.0 Mbps video data to maintain compatibility with all previous iPhone models. If you want to make the most of your device's particular capabilities, then either use custom settings or chose a different device pre-set whose output more closely matches what you want to use on your device if you want to use QT 7 Pro to perform your conversions. If you want to use a different converter, than, by all means, feel free to do so. However, since the source of your problem is in your work flow and not the product, I was merely attempting to point out the fact that your previous comments were unjustified.
As far as editing softwares and hardwares go I have everything from autodesk flame/ inferno down to pro and everything in between. Again please respond to my simple question only, why does qt7 not support the latest iPhone 4 higher retina display resolution? As opposed to older lower resolutions.
Let's hope you fully know how to take advantage of all of these hardware/software devices/applications. If you really feel Apple should support each device and generation of device with a separate entity pre-set as created and sold since being released, then contact Apple HERE and register your total dissatisfaction regarding each and every product not to your liking. You, of course, are entitled to your own opinions. Please extend the same courtesy to others.
Qt7 still ***** and is a total waste of money as people can do everything it does better and for free. Screw apple!
I might agree in some instances. For transcoding, I tend to prefer the X.264 codec with custom settings for more extensive analysis, better vector motion detection/rendering, removal of duplicated frames when applying detelecine, and a limited combined deinterlace/decomb filtering option. However, try aging, masking, layering, blending, picture-in-picture/picture-with-picture, and similar compositing options in a "free" utility.

Final Cut Pro HD and Quicktime Pro????

Can anyone tell me if I need to have Quicktime Pro in order to be able to edit movie files in FCP HD?
The Quicktime files I have in my Capture Scratch are on an external hardrive and WERE CAPTURED FROM A COMPUTER USING QUICKTIME PRO. My Powerbook has Quicktime 7.0.4 and when I try to play the capture scratch media, it plays for a second and then stops. It's impossible to edit in FCP HD as well.
Any expertise would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for any help.

You don't need QT PRO in order to edit with FCP. All QT PRO is is unlocked features of QT, the ability to export footage in multiple formats, download QT Movies and add filters to movies you open.
If something was captured with a machine with QT Pro you should be able to edit them fine. It depends on what format the files are that you are trying to edit.
FYI, movies captured with QT generally don't work in FCP. They aren't an editable format. They are mpeg-2 or h.264 which are meant for direct web posting or DVD burning, but not editing in FCP. If you want to capture footage for editing, capture using FCP.

QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

Audio Video Hardware and QuickTime Pro

I recently purchased an "Eyeball" camera/mic device from Blue. I was told it is excellent. Now I need to know if QuickTime Pro will complete the circuit - so to speak.
The physical connection is from the unit to an USB port. What drivers (yes, it's Windows Vista). Will it work with QTPro 7?
Thanks to all.

The Windows version of QuickTime Pro can't record video (audio only and only from a few types of cameras).
The Mac version of the Pro upgrade can record audio and video from most Firewire connected cameras and the built in USB connected iSight camera found on most desktop models.

Can someone tell me the status of QuickTime and QuickTime Pro?

I am very confused about the current status of QuickTime as an ongoing software. I am speaking of QuickTime on the Mac.
If I double-click on a video (.mov) on my hard drive, it plays with QuickTime Player 10.2 (603.12).
If I try to play some videos in iTunes (.mpg files, and maybe others), I get a pop-up window saying "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
I also have Quicktime Pro Player 7 [version 7.6.6 (1709)]. Which also lists itself QuickTime Version 7.7.1 (2599.24).
What is the difference between Pro Player 7 and QuickTime Player 10.2? My understanding is that Pro 7 has many more export options and is a more powerful program. But is it still current? Or has it been abandoned?
Why is QT 10.2 less powerful than 7?
Why isn't QT supported by the current version of iTunes?

It sounds like with 7, there was Quicktime version whatever, and you could upgrade to Pro. Then they branched off and kept upgrading QT, but leaving Pro behind. When they did this, they incorporated many of Pro's features into the newer QT versions, but, apparently they left out some codecs that Pro supports.
That's basically correct.
Why did they leave out those codecs? Why didn't they just march forward with future QT versions and include everything?
We don't know, being just fellow users. QuickTime X is a completely new architecture, so perhaps they just didn't feel that recoding the older codecs was worth the time given their future plans for QuickTime, but all anyone of us here can do is guess.
You say there have been many updates to Pro over the years, but are they still updating it?
Apple continues to update QuickTime X, but has not released an update to QuickTime Player 7 in many months now.
Regards.

Compressor and Quicktime Pro?

I have a copy of Final Cut Studio 1 that upgraded to but for various reasons have not used since. I finally want to get going with it again but find that compressor will not launch. The other apps seems OK just compressor.
Am I still supposed to have Quicktime Pro. I notice that my version of quicktime 7 is not Pro. As I got the crossgrade to FCP Studio I didn't any documentation so I cannot look this up.
As I was a user of FCP in previous iterations I did have Quicktime Pro but I know the earlier number wont work with the current version is there an upgrade path for Quicktime that goes with the Pro Apps or do I have to purchase it again?
Thanks in advance.

QuickTime Pro is automatically activated when you install Final Cut Studio.
I would recommend reinstalling Final Cut Studio.
1. Download FCS Remover
2. Remove Final Cut Studio
3. Reinstall Final Cut Studio
Good luck

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro video card and Quicktime Pro

In an earlier thread, I found out that the reason Quicktime Pro was not working on my new computer is that Apple has not yet worked out incompatibilities with QT Pro and new nVidia video cards. Since I need the QT Pro to do my movie editing work, I am going to switch to another high end video card. Does anyone know if an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro video card works with QT Pro? If not, is there another high-end card that someone can recommend?
Thanks

Sounds like you need a bigger case.

Error 47: invalid url AND QUICKTIME PRO

I'M WANTING TO WATCH OLD STREAMING BROADCASTS FROM OHIO WESLEYAN WEBSITE. UPGRADED TO QUICKTIME PRO LAST NIGHT. CAN'T GET THESE ARCHIVED EVENTS TO OPEN IN PRO(WANT TO WATCH A FULL SCREEN). I PASTE THE URL ON THE PRO PLAYER AND GET THE INVALID URL MESSAGE. ALSO WONDERING IF I CAN WATCH LIVE STREAM OF FOOTBALL GAME TODAY OR IF THE INVALID URL WILL POP UP? WONDERING WHY THE QUICKTIME WHICH OPENS UP THE ARCHIVED EVENTS ISN'T IN SYNCH WITH MY DOWNLOAD

Turn off caps lock.
I couldn't get the "archives" pages to load any QuickTime content but was able to view the page source code to find the URL.

To open any file directly in the Player requires a "direct" link to the file (not the Web page that holds it).

Bought Quicktime mpeg-2 plug in and Quicktime pro but don't need it

I bought the two items online (electronic download) and it did not resolve the problem I had. Is there a way to "return" them in any way?
Does anyone know, if the answer is no to the above, if I can sell the two electronic downloads to someone else?

Is there a way to "return" them in any way?
No. The online Apple Store doesn't allow returns or refunds of electronic software downloads.
if I can sell the two electronic downloads to someone else?
The QuickTime Pro key is specific to the name you registered it under.

Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro

Ok before I had installed Snow Leopard I had quicktime pro. Now that I installed the program I can no longer view trailers on the Apple Website or do anything I could do with pro. I can not even purchase pro for X apparently now. What Can be done about this? or when will pro be available. Apples website as well as all other websites do not appear to support Quicktime X at all at this time, so I would really like a solution ASAP.
I use Quicktime Pro daily and now that I am without it again this is really not the time for me to be without it. This problem needs to be resolved immediately.
Can anyone in Genius bar or other apple techs look into this?

I just talked to techs at Apple and here is the skinny on Quicktime Pro: As far as the normal user is concerned, Quicktime Player 7 and Quicktime X have two things in common. They are both named Quicktime and they both play .mov files. Quicktime Player 7 can be upgraded to Pro and then can edit and export movies. Quicktime X, as of Sep 29, 2009 can not be upgraded to Pro. It can only Trim files and play them. It's just a player.
If you have installed Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 has disappeared, you may find Quicktime 7 in the utilities folder OR on your Snow Leopard install disc. You might want to also install Rosetta from that disc so you can use older apps like Appleworks 6.
If you are adventurous and would like to edit more file formats, you can get a free download called "Perian - the Swiss Army knife for Quicktime." Of course, you are on your own with this app. Use all precautions for unknown software. I downloaded Perian and can now play .flv files on Quicktime.

Can I take my home DVD's and add to itunes via windows and Quicktime pro?

I use my iphone for watching video (train commuter) and have been playing with different software to add my movies/TV dvd's to itunes. I can't find one I really like and I thought I read that I could do this via Quicktime pro, but I also thought that this feature is only avail on the Mac OS version. Can anyone confirm that it will or will not work for me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Converting "copyright" protected video can't be discussed in these Discussions.
The Windows version of QuickTime allows the same export features found in the Mac version.
