Reviews for QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

Don't be discouraged from buying this just because some people are having problems. This is a great tool to use for web compression and even simple editing. Even comes free with Final Cut Studio!

I bought Quicktime and thought it would be another hard to use video viewer and editor. It worked really well in Leopard and Tiger before I upgraded. My only compliant was that whenever I wanted to convert video to a cell phone, I always head to get validation from my company that makes the phone. It isn't Apple's problem, but next time could you please integrate a validation program?

Literature states "Export to over a dozen different video and audio formats." Too bad none can address the audio problems encountered when importing video clips from iPhoto to iMovie. There's a reason this product is non-refundable!
There is plenty of freeware that will do the job nicely.

this is a great product and works just as described, when i upgraded to snow leopard quicktime 7 was not deleted it was still in the apps folder

Because of the excellent stability and performance of the Apple Mac platform, I am not often inclined to criticize...

This whole Quicktime X/Quicktime 7/Quicktime Pro upgrade is a train wreck. With Snow Leopard as the OS, you have install Quicktime 7 from the OS installation CD and then unlock the Pro functionality using the Pro registration key. This process is a bit kludgy considering Apple's normal attention to ease of use.

The big problem is that unlocked Quicktime 7 Pro reverts to Player for some strange reason. I have not spent any time figuring out this obvious defect--and I shouldn't need to. Attention Apple, fix this nonsensical process or issue a refund; this is the sort of issue I would expect to encounter on a Wintel platform, not Mac.

I wanted to create video podcast. When encoding simple videos through iSight, the video gets out of sync with the audio after only a few minutes. I see a lot of people having this problem and so far no good solution.

I tried external firewire camera as well. No luck. Playing back previously created content may be ok. But encoding simply does not work right (I have brand new MacBook Pro).

I thought Apple products were going to work together. I just paid 30.00 plus tax for something that won't install on a new MAC.

Be sure to buy the correct version before buying something that you won't be able to use.

Quicktime 10 is on my MAC but this waste of $$ is for QT7.

I thought I was buying an UPGRADE!!!! I wound up just throwing money away.

I am thoroughly disappointed in QT 10. QT 7 PRO has been one of the most useful applications. Easy to use, great for quick cutting, useful for work and screwing around. QT 7 was incredibly robust, lots of flexibility. QT 10 is like a narrowly conceived Microsoft product that limits the parameters of what's possible.
PLEASE MAKE A PRO version to QT 10 or at the very least, make it easy to install QT 7 on the new systems .. am having no luck in doing so.

After going all these months with the limitations of QT 10.0, I rediscovered from an earlier review [Feb./2010] that my old QT Pro was in the Utilities folder. Sure enough, there it was with my registration key still entered and still valid, and now I can do editing like rotating, etc. that I had been used to. If you want the editing abilities of QT 7 Pro, simply go to your Utilities Folder, look for QT 7 Player, and use the QT Menu to Register the product.

I'm not going to spend another $30. Recent upgrades in functionality have not impressed me. I still cannot play many of the free "avi" video clips coming my way with very commonly used Windows codecs. My friends send me home movies and I cannot play them. When and if Quicktime gets better coverage of codecs, especially "avi" codecs, then I'll pay. Unfortunately, I see nothing so far in Apple's full-page blurb for the latest Quicktime about this. So I'll limp along for a while with my current Pro version,
