Quick Time 7 Pro unusable to edit Q.T. movie

Apple is no help whatsoever. Response i a form letter over and over again. The Key exist against pirating but in fact prevent legitimate user like me from using the software. Over the years I purchased 4 keys because they did not work. Never a refund. Unbelievable! Apple user friendly? Think again!
Editing functions are grey. Registration says it is Quick Time Pro. 3 days later and I can't use the software anymore. I use Q.T. maybe once a year. Every time the same problem. I suspect that each time an upgrade comes up it screws up Q.T. Pro.
I have been an Apple fanatic ever since the Apple II. I am now disgusted!
Apple should have a look at El Gato's EyeTV to learn how video software should work. Yak!

If your key was for QT 6 and you have since installed QT 7 then you do need a new key. I know that it is tough but I consider the H264 in Qt 7 worth it.
If the info still says that QT pro is enabled then there may be other issues. What exactly are you trying to do?
If all you want is to export a file once in a long while, consider the export function of toast - which you may have already, mpeg streamclip (free), isquint (free ipod format only) or visualHub (cheap)
If you want to edit a QT movie then you could use imovie. I think that it can use a number of formats other than just dv.
Personally I would not be without QT pro.

  • I bought Quick Time Pro to help edit videos and now cannot SEE any video through my Quick Time Player

    I can hear the audio for each video BUT the window for SEEING the videos does not open- it remains "closed" on top of the start/stop/pause controller.  HOW can I fix this so I can also see the videos I want to edit?
    It worked fine the day I uploaded and began using Quick Time Pro, but has not since that day....

    If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

  • Quick Time Pro wont save edited 3GPP file

    Hello All. I just bought Quick Time Pro, and I want to edit a video I took on my cell phone (just delete the last few seconds). I open the 3GPP file, set the in and out markers, and select Trim to Selection. Then I tried to save the file to my desktop both with its current name, and with a new name. I dont get any error when I click save, but there is no new file if I change the name, and the changes dont save if I leave the file name as it was.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Heya. I have a similar problem, about the first posted here. Let me explain: My brother has deleted quick time 2 weeks ago by mistake, and then I had to uninstall everything and reinstall. The problem is, I've done it 3 times already, but the iTunes doesn't work yet. It says that there's an error in quick time, then, when I try opening quick time, it says "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" and all those things about making sure if it's really instaled... and it is.
    I also went to see the problem directly on the Quick Time Preferences, in its configuration... when I select "Audio", it says: "Buffer overrun detected!
    Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe
    A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be now terminated."
    What can I do to solve this? I need some help here =(

  • Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

    Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
    I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
    Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
    It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
    also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
    Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

    Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
    QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

  • How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

    Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

    The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
    When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
    Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
    When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
    But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
    The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
    Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road. 

  • Quick Time Pro - AVI Editing

    When I open my AVI files in Quick Time Pro to trim them before exporting them for compression to play on my iPod, I run into a problem. Using the sliding markers below the video window, along with my arrow keys, I can navigate to the exact frame where I want to mark-in and mark-out. I then go to Edit>Delete to trim the unwanted video portion. This works great as long as I'm trimming from the very beginning of the file to the beginning of the video, or trimming from the end of the video to the end of the file. However, when I try to delete a portion of the video somewhere in the middle (for example, trying to cut out a commercial break), the Edit>Delete function doesn't trim the file where the markers are, but rather jumps and deletes more of the file than marked.
    Does anyone know why Quick Time is doing this? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem editing mp4 (.m4v) files with Quicktime 7. I sure hope I didn't waste my money. Help please!!

  • HT2240 My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall Quick Time Pro. I have a record of the Registration Code, but can't work out how to download the Pro version once again.

    How do I reinstall Quick Time Pro for the second time if I no longer have the original email even though I have the registration code??
    My PC died and I want to reinstall on a new PC.

    Download and install the "free" version of QuickTime Player from Apple.
    Under its Edit menu choose Preferences / Registration and enter your info. This "unlocks" the Pro features found in the free download.

  • Quick Time Pro in Windows 7

    I have quick time pro 7 but use it in Windows not Mac.  I can't find a way to play a .wma file in quick time pro.  All I can see online is codec software to allow wma files to play in quick time if you have a mac.  This doesn't help if you are trying to use quick time pro with windows. 
    I have a movie I created in windows live movie maker and want to play it in quick time pro or more specifically import it so I can export it to a m4v file to upload the video on my iphone 4s.   The video orginated from my iphone 4 as mov but I found it much easier to edit in movie maker over quick time pro but now can't save the file as mpeg4 or m4v in movie maker so I need to be able to open the save wma in quicktime pro.

    The Windows version of QuickTime Player can't open Windows Media Player formats.
    The only reason the Mac version uses QuickTime for WMP files is because of additional third party software.

    It's all done from the QT Player application, utilising the underlying QT frameworks.
    Don't expect Quicktime Pro to be Final Cut Pro - it's mainly a simple editing and conversion tool, as well as the regular player functions.

  • Quick Time Pro will not launch

    10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
    I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
    What could be the issue? HELP.
    Bill N. in Sarasota, Florida

    That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
    First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
    Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
    We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
    (1) Quit Safari if you have it open
    (2) Go Start > Open.
    (3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    (4) Click the View tab.
    (5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
    (6) Click OK.
    Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    ... or:
    C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
    Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
    Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
    Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

  • Upgrading iTunes does affect Quick Time pro?

    From a newbie: I installed Logic Studio 8 and together came also Quick time PRO. If I'm upgrading iTunes, normally also Quick Time is upgraded. Do I risk to loose the pro edition and to come back to Quick Time Player only?
    Thank you!

    no it shouldn't

  • Quick time Pro VS. iMovie HD

    Hi,
    I am thinking of upgrading from my iPod Photo to the iPod movie and was wondering if in order to get avi or mepg movies into my ipod video, I need to purchace quick time pro.
    I have iMove HD and have been able to first import an .avi movie into it, and then convert that imported file to .mp4, which then I was able to import into my iTunes movie library. Since I don't have the ipod video yet, I am wondering if it will be uploaded upon sync. I am thinking that since the file was added to the iTunes library, then it will certainly be syncable!
    I also imported video from my mini DV camera into iMovie HD and converted the final movie into the mp4 format and was also able to import that file into my iTunes video library. And thus was wondering the same thing, will this file be syncable with the ipod video?
    If yes is the case, then why would I need Quick time Pro?
    Thanks and I look forward to your explannation.
    Also, on a last note, if I want to convert some of my DVD's to be able to watch them on my ipod, what steps do I need to take? I am a powerbook g4 owner.
    In that case, will I need Quick time Pro, or can I still do it using iMovie HD, or perhaps even some other free software that might be available?
    Thanks.

    I am thinking of upgrading from my iPod Photo to the iPod movie and was wondering if in order to get avi or mepg movies into my ipod video, I need to purchace quick time pro.
    I personally would recommend having QT Pro and the MPEG2 plug-in in order to short-cut certain work flow options. However, if you are asking if it is absolutely necessary, then the answer is no. First off, QT Pro will not convert "muxed" files (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, certain AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) any more than you already can using QT Tools access through iMovie, FCX, and/or FCP. As to AVI not already supported by your work flow, you would sill need the DivX or 3ivX QT plug-in with Pro. Same is true if you want to process WMV files in QT Pro. Only in this case, you would need to get the WMV/WMA QT Pro plug-in from Flip4Mac or a similar third party. The only real advantage in using QT Pro is not having to import the source file into iMovie first. Of course, this isn't a problem where you plan to edit a movie anyway but is nice if you are simply transcoding a QT compatible format directly to an iPod compatible format. In addition, it does give you QT Player some additional enhancements which can come in handy.
    For "muxed" video, you will still need an MPEG based third party application like PSPWare (free in the unregistered mode), iSQuint (free), Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$), or MPEG StreamClip (free) to handle such situations. In addition, it is likely that you will eventually come across a movie whose content is simply too complex to be handled by one or more of the format converters and you will either have to modify settings or switch to a secondary application.
    Since I don't have the ipod video yet, I am wondering if it will be uploaded upon sync. I am thinking that since the file was added to the iTunes library, then it will certainly be syncable!
    Unfortunately, this is not rue. Both the QT and iTunes players are based on the on the complete QT library. The iPod player, on the other hand, is merely a sub-set player of the other two. As far as video goes, it is only capable of playing MPEG4/AAC (LC) and H.264/AAC (LC) file formats and then, only when they meet specific requirements. So you will just have to wait and see what happens when you actually try to sync your files.
    I also imported video from my mini DV camera into iMovie HD and converted the final movie into the mp4 format and was also able to import that file into my iTunes video library. And thus was wondering the same thing, will this file be syncable with the ipod video?
    Same answer here. You will just have to wait and see if you selected the proper settings the first time.
    If yes is the case, then why would I need Quick time Pro?
    Also already answered above.
    Also, on a last note, if I want to convert some of my DVD's to be able to watch them on my ipod, what steps do I need to take?
    Your best bet is to download HandBrake (free) or Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$). The former is a Decrypter/"on-the-fly" extractor and converter. It is require you to enter a number of user setting correctly to work properly, but is a "one-stop" program and well worth the price. The latter, is more of a "settings free" application and probably worth the investment if you are not inclined to manual manipulations. However, it does not decrypt or extract, so you would also need to use a decrypter/extractor application like MacThe Ripper first.
    I am a powerbook g4 owner. In that case, will I need Quick time Pro, or can I still do it using iMovie HD, or perhaps even some other free software that might be available?
    As indicated above, there are a number of options currently available. In addition to those already mentioned, you may wish to try MoviesForMyPod (free) or Podner ($$). The former is a simple, handy converter for QT compatible format conversions. The latter is probably the most polished QT/QT plug-ins compatible converter and has the "tightest" conversion process when it comes to the conversion of "problem" files which sometimes "stump" other converter utilities and is currently iLounge's "favorite" converter.

  • Quick Time Pro Still images duration

    I am using Quick Time Pro version 7.7.5 to edit video clips.  I am adding a still image to the beginning of each clip for illustrative purposes but need to lengthen the amound of time the still image is displayed after it is attached to the video, preferably for about 5 seconds.  How would I go about doing that?

    This is where "add scaled" comes into play. A still image doesn't have any "time" but if you add it scaled to an audio track you can give it a duration.
    Open any audio track in QuickTime Player Pro and make a five second selection. Paste that selection in a new player window and close the source file.
    Make sure all of your image files match the dimensions used in your video before starting.
    Open the first of your image files, select all (control-a) and copy (control-c).
    Switch to the 5 second audio track, select all and "Add to Selection & Scale" from the Edit menu.
    Open the Movie Properties window (Window menu) and "Extract" the video track. This is now your 5 second image file. Name and save the file and close the image audio mix file without saving.
    Repeat for your other images.
