How do I open Quicktime Pro

I have had Quicktime pro since buying FCP3. I have installed the registration key, and when I close it out, I can open the registration section and the key is still there. I once read thats all I have to do. However, I have not been able to open Quicktime pro, I can't even find an icon for it. I have since upgraded to FCPHD, and installed the registration code for that. I soon will be getting FCP5 Studio and would like to be able to access Quicktime Pro for that. I had purchased a quicktime pro 7 registration key when I upgraded to QT7
Thanks for any help!

Some of the older "free" registrations only work with QuickTime 6 and you'll need to purchase a version 7 key it if its is installed on your computer.
You can review your Software Download History by logging in at the Apple Store.
There is no QuickTime "pro" application. Once you enter a valid registration for your currently installed version The QuickTime Player app becomes your editor.

  • Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

  • How can I get quicktime pro 7 running

    I bought quicktime pro 7 a couple of years ago and have a registration code.  At the time I used the program to make some time lapse movies.  I'd like to make a couple of time lapse movies again but quicktime pro 7 is no where to be found.  This probably ha something to do with updating the os between then and now.  The question is how can I get quicktime pro 7 running again?  The unlocking instructions I have for quicktime pro 7 that I received with the key do not correspond with what the system preferences now show.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  I am currently running OS X version 10.9.5 on an older iMac.

    Open the QuickTime 7 player(if it’s not installed, click here), choose Registration from the QuickTime Player 7 menu, and supply your key there.

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-

  • How can I reinstall QuickTime Pro on Win7?

    I purchased QuickTime Pro in September. Then this week, I upgraded my PC from Windows XP to Windows 7. In doing so, I had to wipe out my PC's partition and re-install every program back on my PC.
    This has been a relatively painless process, except for QuickTime Pro. I re-installed Quick Time 7 (the free version) on my PC but there appears to be no way to upgrade the free version of QT back to Pro without purchasing this product all over again (and I refuse to do that).
    I've tried talking to Apple's technical support. They've given me directions written for previous versions of Windows, but there appears to be no instructions for how to upgrade to QT Pro if you have Windows 7.
    I've been on the phone with their technical support for the past two hours and no one at Apple appears to know how I could reinstall QuickTime Pro.
    I'm astonished.

    What version of QT did you have on XP? If you had QT version 6.X pro then you would have to purchase a new QT pro key for QT 7. As Apple releases complete new versions of QT they require a new pro key, updates to a version do not. In other words the pro key for QT 6 does not work with QT 7.
    And if you were using QT pro 6.X you cannot revert back to that version. Because QT 6 doesn't support windows 7

    Your profile actually isn't being posted, so no one here will have any idea what you're running unless you include that in your post. And the post to which you replied was made well over a year ago in response to Douglas, the person who created this thread. Just FYI.
    i was thinking that it would leave the screen of where i entered the # or say in the heading Quicktime pro instead of continuing to say Quicktime 7. Yes I bought Mac and yes I copied it from the email confirmation.
    Some more positive confirmation would be nice, but QuickTime doesn't give one. All that will happen is that the logo will change to the "Q" with the "pro" tag and the "pro" labels will disappear from the menu commands.
    Regards.

    DO you have the free Quicktime player?
    You can buy Quicktime Pro from the Help menu.
    I haven't done so myself so I can't talk you though it.
    If you don't have the free player, you can download it from:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    If you don't want iTunes, be sure to download the version without iTunes.

  • How do I use Quicktime Pro to watermark videos for YouTube?

    I'm interested in uploading videos to YouTube. I got Quicktime Pro so that I could watermark my videos so people could know who made them. My movies are in mov. format. I learned how to attach text to the video, but it just shows below the box where the video plays. When I upload the video to YouTube, it doesn't show the text/watermark that I wrote. i'm just trying to make a simple statement, nothing fancy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    The trouble is caused by YouTube and their conversion process. They do not allow multiple video tracks (or text tracks) and only one video track is converted.
    You'll have to add your watermark or text track and export it again (rather than Save As) to make it one track. Your text track and video track will be merged into one track.

  • How do I 'buy' Quicktime Pro?

    I am new to Mac and trying to set up the new Mac for Video Editing.
    I tried buying Quicktime from the Apple site - but it wont accept my Australian phone number, I tried everything but it would not take my money. Finally I called some friends and they said it was because of different pricing arrangements and said I had to load my software from the Australian shop. What the? - so instead of paying $29, I went to the Australian online shop - which charges $49. Ok, I got over that after some ranting.
    Then it says when I 'buy' it, it will send me a password to enter into Quicktime 7 Preferences - but First it says I need to download Quicktime 7. So I did that, but it refuses to load this, as the Mac says to me that there is ALREADY Quicktime X loaded on my machine. So I look - and yes I have Quicktime 10.
    So if I have ten and I cant get 7, how do I upgrade to Pro?
    The entire object is to set up Final Cut Pro - however I need to convert all the other types of movies that FCP cant handle. And I am led to believe Quicktime PRO 7 does that to at least some of the videos I have.
    I have heaps I need to use - and they are
    .3gp
    .avi    (which I want to use Quicktime Pro to convert)
    .DIF
    .flv
    .mpg
    .mpeg
    .m2v
    .mp4
    .mov
    .wmv
    But - to start with - how do I get PRO to load?

    According to the various support notes - if I have FCP installed first (I have) and then I install QT7, it should automatically become PRO. It doesnt. So now what?
    Any ideas?
    Re-run the FCP installation. I believe it has to "see" QT 7 while installing before the FCP installer will upgrade the QT 7 Player to QT 7 Pro. (Same solution if the automatic "Pro" registration is lost during OS upgrade/installation.)
    With Regard to QT 7 registration, if you actually purchased a QT 7 "Pro" key and did not receive the email with registration name and key number, then contact customer service at the online Apple store where you purchased the key. (Be sure to have purchaser order information available.) Non-receipt of confirmation email may indicate the "key" was not properly generated. If they can confirm this, then your money should be refunded and, since you no longer need the key with FCP use, you should be good to go...
