Just purchased Quicktime Pro 7 and cannot find how to get it to work

I was given a registration code and told to "enter the name and registration code exactly as it appears into the Register pane of the QuickTime preference dialog box"
The problem is: I cannot find the registration pane of the quicktime preference dialog box.
Help??????

QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so there's nothing to "run" other than QuickTime Player. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. If the Pro labels have gone from the menu items in QuickTime Player, then your key is correctly registered and you should be good to go.
If you continue to have problems, please start your own topic, describing fully the situation and where things seem to be breaking down.

Quicktime Pro, preload and Director Que Points

Hi All,
I have just discovered that the latest version of quicktime
Pro (7x) does not have the prelaod option when exporting a movie.
If you have markers embedded in your quicktime movie that you want
to use as que points in Director you can no longer do this as you
MUST have the preload setting enabled in Quicktime Pro when
exporting the movie. Director will throw an error when you try to
import the quicktime file warning you that the file is not
preloaded and the que point will be disabled for that file.
Has anyone else upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7?
The only solution that I can find is to install Quicktime 6x
BUT I haven't got the installer and Apple do not have it on their
site, looks that it was money mis-spend when I upgraded to version
7.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks!
Andrew
See
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5924800
for the apple snag.

I faced the same problem one month ago. At the end I decided
to use flash. It has the possibility to work with cue points in a
natural way. One solution I explored with Director was to do my own
cue points controls. Basically, I got a list of my cue points, I
used the old CoolEdit to define and export the list, then I checked
the time of the movie in a loop (exitFrame) and I compared the time
of the movie with the list of CP to trigger the events. But as I
told you, I decided to use Flash
Sorry not to be useful
Good luck

Why won't QuickTime Pro validate and install?

I purchased QT Pro and have QT 7.6.7 installed already. But the registration process won't accept my registration code. Not sure why unless it is because when I open Control Panel and then open Quick Time (32-bit) that means QT Pro is not compatible with my 64-bit PC running Win7. Any suggestions?

Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
Also make sure you purchased a key for the correct platform (Windows or Mac). QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
Hope this helps.

Playback of captured HD files in Quicktime Pro 7 and FCPS5 no longer works!

Hello to all, this is my first post here on FCP discussions so please be kind also, I am somewhat a novice with FCP, Macs and QT pro. Here is my problem -
A year a go a purchased the full FCP pro 5 HD studio and I captured some Hi def 1080i50 footage from a Sony Z1E. at that time all the footage was captured fine and played fine and also played perfectly externally to FCP in QT pro. A few months ago i mucked up my MAC and had to reinstall the OS, all of my apps were fine tho and didnt need to be reinstalled.
However it is only now that when i need to review my HD material i find that FCP no longer plays the files, all i get -
"Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corressponding hardware" AND QT Pro only outputs audio and a white blank screen and directs me to download 3rd party plugins but NOT specifically which one to play HD stuff.
The QT inspector says the fils are : -
HDV 1080i50, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz FPS 25
Forgive me if you have answered this Question a million times but i have searched all the forums and knowledge bases without any success.
Do i have a missing codec or is QT pro 7? Will i have to uninstall the whole FCP studio and then reinstall?Im running on Tiger Os X 10.4.11 details of softw' below, thanks in advance guys.

In the FWIW category ...
I do understand the reluctance to do a wipe and reinstall.
My aging Ti Powerbook which has been a star running 4.5/6.5.2/10.3.9 was getting very flakey. It had been several years with a lot of upgrades and other software installs/erases.
I finally decided to bite the bullet and install everything from scratch. Herein are X's rules for a happy experience.
• Make a list of all Applications to install. Which ones do you need? Go through your Applications and Utilities folder and note which ones you'll want to reinstall. Note the version.
(I don't know about you, but I had a shocking number of apps I downloaded, used for a few times and never used again. Forget installing these disused apps.)
• If you are upgrading from a PPC to an intel machine, you'll want to know if the apps are UB or PPC. Upgrading your PPC software to UB can be a significant cost in a PPC to intel conversion. Know what you are getting into - do a search before installation to see if there is a UB version available. You can find out whether an app is PPC or UB by looking in System Profiler>Software>Applications. This window will also tell you the current installed version number. Generate a .pdf file of it and have everything listed for your records.
• In the list, note whether is was a download or you have a disk. If it was a download, find the DMG or installer package and copy it to an external firewire drive. Put it in a folder titled - Apps to be installed - or something easily identifiable.
• If you need to go back to a previous version (e.g. QT 6.5.2) download the dmg file BEFORE you start the installation process.
• In the list, note if the application is a full install or an UPGRADE. If an upgrade, make sure you have the previous version's disks (as well as the serial numbers - see below).
If the UPGRADE version does not require the previous version to be present - eg when installing the upgrade version of FCP 6, DO NOT install earlier software. All you'll need is the previous serial number. The way to figure this out is to try to install the newest version. If it needs the previous version present before proceeding, the install process will tell you that.
Some upgrades will require that a version of the previous app is on the disk. If this is the case, when you install the first version, simply install the minimum so the app will be on the hard drive. You will need to do this because there will be NOTHING on the disk after you do your clean erase.
• Referencing your list, find ALL your disks before you start. This includes previous versions if you are unsure whether they will be needed.
• Spend some time looking through this forum for Professional Application installation issues. The classic example is a conflict between Logic and FCP. Install FCP first and you'll have no issues.
• Sort your list into an installation sequence. Lay out your disks in that order.
• Referencing the list, make sure you have ALL your serial numbers including those you've downloaded. I've purchased a number of programs on line and the only documentation of the serial number was an email. All those are kept in a dedicated folder in Mac Mail. For serial numbers that arrived via electronic means, use cut and paste instead of re-typing whenever possible. This will prevent errors in transcription.
In making the list, TEXT EDIT works ok, (I use Excel). Text edit has the benefit of being easily readable on any mac. Print the list out for reference, put a copy on a flash drive or a firewire drive where you can access it to cut and past serial numbers during the installation process.
• Download Carbon Copy Cloner or one of the other backup utilities and do a full backup of your existing system drive to an external firewire drive. Make the drive bootable. *Do not* cheap out on this as this is your insurance policy. If you forget something or can not find a serial number, you often can find it and copy it from the backup system to the newly installed version. Or, if things go horribly wrong, you can simply copy the old system back to your computer and pick up where you left off.
• Recognize this is going to take some time. Ranting, drinking too much coffee, swearing, sitting in front of the computer watching the progress bar, etc will not make things go faster. All it will to is put you in a really bad frame of mind. Do it over a weekend when you can be multitasking. While you are cleaning off the mountains of paper on your desk or raking the yard, you can take regular breaks to check on progress.
Process -
• Once you have gathered and organized all the materials and backed up the drive ...
• Erase the hard drive. Use the ZEROs option as this will map out any bad sectors. This will take time. See the note above.
• Install the OS. If it is an upgrade install, see the note above regarding upgrade installs. Repair Permissions and then run the updates. Repair Permissions.
• Install your applications following your list. Make sure to Repair Permissions after each install and update..
Have fun, be prepared for a few minor glitches. If you multitask, you can get the garage/ or office cleaned out and your computer rebuilt. In all honesty, this process took all weekend plus time in the next week as I discovered apps that needed additional updates, configuration settings, etc. No doubt it would have been faster if I was sitting at the console the whole time, but I was able to get the office cleaned up and organized (which also makes ME much faster). Overall it was a very slick process.
When you have a fully functioning system again, CLONE the new system and put your info, your notes and the disks in a safe place - once you've done this once, why go through the pain of organizing this stuff again ...
Now, rejoice in a much faster machine with a lot more free disk space.
Cheers,
x

Problem with Quicktime Pro in and out Markings

Hi,
I really need som help. I bought QT pro quite recently to be able to cut a movie. The problem is I can't get the markings (in and out). I have tried on two different computers and I have read the instructions. I have unmarked the box where it says "hide markings" and I have tried to press "i" and "o" when the movie is played but it doesn't help. When I first opened the program at computer no 2 there were markings (so at least I know how they look now) but they dissepeared when i opened an other file and now they are completely gone again. What is wrong? Could someone please help me? I need to make a film for my friend weddingday!!!
/Charlotte

Very strange, is this just with certain files i.e. the wedding material or all files?

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.

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.

Leopard Quicktime Pro and podcasts

I just installed Leopard, and QTPro, and was checking out the menu options. I found that when I choose "Share..." from the menu, my choice is to send it to Podcast Producer. If I want to save the file as a podcast, and I do NOT have podcast producer on a server, how do I go about it ? I did see I could "save as" and there was a choice of "Movie to iPod". Is that what I select ? I thought there was a simple "create podcast" in the menus ? When I put in "podcast" in the QT help, all it returned was the podcast producer choice.

My answer was not found there. I do NOT want to submit podcasts to iTunes. I need to create them, and host them on one of our network servers or on our web hosts server. I want to create a podcast and put it were I want it.
I found this article on the web:
" To create a video podcast on a Mac with QuickTime Pro:
Download and install the latest version of QuickTime, and purchase a license key to enable the QuickTime Pro features
Connect your FireWire camera to your Mac. Switch off iChat AV and AOL Instant Messenger
In QuickTime Pro click on QuickTime Player - Preferences - Recording
Select your specific Video Source and Microphone. Set Quality to Device Native and set Save files to: to the location (such as Desktop) where you wish to save your podcast
Close the Preferences window
Click on File - New Movie Recording
Click on the red Capture button to begin recording. Click on the black Stop button to stop recording
Click on File - Export... - Movie to iPod (320x240)
Click on Save

So, I guess I answered my own question.

Quicktime Pro Update not posible !?!?!?!?! (sorry german language)

Im folgenden möchte ich auf Missstände in der Apple Update-Politik hinweisen.
Ich arbeite in einer Studioumgebung mit der Software Digidesign ProTools LE 7.0.
Die Software läuft mit der Digidesign Hardware Digi002 auf einem Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz.
Am 21.08.2004 habe ich für dieses System (damals unter OSX Panther) ein Update auf Quicktime Pro 6.0 gekauft. Damit habe ich eine Registrierungsnummer erhalten, durch die sich Quicktime Pro auf OSX Panther freischalten ließ.
Im Dezember 2005 habe ich das System auf OSX Tiger upgedatet um die aktuelle ProTools Software nutzen zu können.
Nach dem Update auf OSX Tiger konnte ich meine Quicktime Pro Registrierungsnummer nicht mehr verwenden um Quicktime Pro 7.0 frei zu schalten.
Darauf hin habe ich telefonisch mit dem Apple-Support Kontakt aufgenommen.
Der Support konnte mir nur zwei nicht zufriedenstellende Lösungen anbieten:
-Quicktime Pro 7.0 neu zu erwerben
-ein Downgrade auf Quicktime 6.0
Da jedoch Digidesign für einen reibungslosen Betrieb der ProTools Version 7.0 auf OSX Tiger mit Quicktime 7.0 besteht, bin gezwungen Quicktime Pro 7.0 zu erwerben und damit erneut die vollen Kosten (ein Update von Quicktime Pro 6.0 auf Quicktime Pro 7.0 wird nicht angeboten) für eine Quicktime Pro Lizenz zu tragen.
Diese Vorgaben von Apple empfinde ich als völlig ungerechtfertigt und unzulässig, da ich damit zwei mal für ein Produkt (welches ich weiter verwende) bezahlen muß und ich beim Kauf von OSX Tiger nicht auf diese Umstände hingewiesen wurde.

although I don't speak or understand German, I think i might know what you are asking...
you had Quicktime Pro 6, it was valid, registered, worked great....
you upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7. but now its no longer registered and you dont have your Pro capabilities.
Its well documented from Apple Quicktime site that if you upgrade to QT7 you will need to buy a new Registration. Yep apple forcing you to shell out another $30 US for a code.
I complained to Apple about it as I had QT6.5.2 Pro and worked great and when I upgraded to QT7 I lost my Pro capabilities... part of Apple's claim, QT7 Pro is different enough and better than the older QT6.

"Selection markers" not visible in Quicktime Pro 7 just purchased

I just bought Quicktime Pro, registered, and it seems everything is fine (all the "PRO" features are now activated. BUT I cannot seem to figure out how to do this one simple thing:
I'm trying to edit my video, and want to delete a short section of it. I've read the manual, and page 29 actually shows the playhead having "In and Out Selection marker" controls that are not on my playhead. I have tried using the I and O buttons to select parts of the video as indicated, but nothing happens!!! All I see is the one slider button, nothing else in the playhead area. And I cannot see a darkened selection as the manual shows, no matter what I do.
This is what the manual says:
"To select a portion of a movie, move the In and Out selection markers. The darkened area between the two markers indicates the selected portion. To fine-tune the selection, select a marker and move it with the arrow keys. You can also move the playhead and press I (for In) or O (for Out) to set the start or end point of the selection, even while the movie is playing."
and
"Tip: To move the In or Out marker to a different position, drag the playhead to the desired position (or use the arrow keys), then press I or O."
Please let me know what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. Thanks, and happy holidays!

Oh, thanks! That was it!
I exported as .mov & it's working now. Yea!

What is the maximum file size I can import to Quicktime Pro 7?

I have some clips that are 2-3 GB in size. Can I import these into Quicktime Pro 7 and edit them? For example cut them in half so each reduced file size half can be opened in other software that has a 2 GB limit?
Also, can I save a Quicktime file as MPEG-4?
Thank you!

If the files are in a format that QuickTime understands then there really isn't a file size limit.
QuickTime Player Pro can export most formats that it can open to MPEG-4 codec formats.

How does this quicktime pro thing work?

i bought final cut hd about a year and a half ago and recently had to reinstall it. When i pulled out the disk , I noticed that not only did the final cut hd come with a serial number, but i had a serial number for quicktime pro, which was on the same package as the final cut. There was no disk for quicktime pro. And i never installed quicktime pro. What did i miss? Was i supposed to go online and download it using that serial number? Is it too late now to get a quicktime pro that works with quicktime 6.5.2?

Quicktime in itself is Quicktime Pro. But, the pro part is locked until you enter the serial number that came with Final Cut. Sorry to say Apple no longer supports Quicktime 6.5.2. Meaning if you don't have Quicktime 6.5.2 or are able to get it from a CD (or someone you know). You will need the buy Quicktime Pro from Apple.
You didn't supply the OS your running. That will determine what Quicktime if you can run Quicktime 6.5.2............
