    No sound when you email it!

    • Written by from ALLENTOWN

    I wish I could get my money back. I bought this to send videos of my daughter to friends and relatives, but the video has no sound when it is emailed.

    Media Pros Love Quicktime

    • Written by from Philadelphia

    Why are non-Media Professionals allowed to write reviews of software and hardware? If you are a non-Media Pro then your near sighted opinion of Mac hardware/software is about as valid as the notion of WMD's in Iraq. Quicktime is amazing and if you have a problem with it I highly recommend trying to use Windows Media Player, because it is a great deal more frustrating and out puts a lower grade of video.

    QuickTime Pro is the essential video tool.

    • Written by from BLACKSBURG

    When you buy QuickTime Pro, you get two different and useful tools: First, QuickTime Pro unlocks some CODECs (compression types) in other programs. The biggest, baddest video tools can access most good CODECs already and the free Perian CODEC installer gives you many more. Smaller video and audio tools need QuickTime unlocked to reach their full potential to export. The second thing purchasing QuickTime Pro does is turn the QuickTime Player into a sophisticated editing and export application. It offers basic jump cut (transitionless) editing and simply audio and video layering but it also gives you access to non-destructive layering, positioning, scaling, rotating, and controlling QuickTime compatible movies in a way that almost no other tool does. At $30 QuickTime Pro is the best money you can spend to increase your video capabilities. Read up though, most QuickTime Pro users only scratch the surface of what QuickTime Pro can do.

    Definitely useful, but maybe not $30 worth of useful

    • Written by from Owensboro

    This upgrade is worth paying for, but I feel it's only worth about half of what they are charging for it. I finally upgraded because I wanted to save playblasts from Maya and this was the easiest way I could find to do so. I also do a bit of light video editing occasionally and basically to record or save anything you have to have Pro. I will definitely use the Pro features, but it feels like at least some of the recording or saving functions should be free.

    Not worth it.

    • Written by from Redding

    If you are thinking of purchasing QuickTime 7 Pro, make sure you know exactly what comes in it and what you plan on using it for. When it says "capture video" it means from a webcam, and "save video from internet" it means a very limited amount of videos, aka not any video from the web.

    This is not what I paid for nor was it what I expected.

    Great for the price

    • Written by from Voorhees

    I do minimal video editing and converting. But, this is easy and works every time. Plus I love the 29.99 price.

    Good for what is

    • Written by from Auburndale

    QuickTime Pro is a nice little video conversion tool with some minimal editing and effects capabilities, and that's it. For example, if you have some .dv files that you want to turn into something that you can watch on your iPod, this is the thing to get. If, on the other hand, you have camcorder footage and want to edit that, use iMovie. And if, heaven forfend, you need to synchronize sound and image using timecode info, you need Final Cut (I think.)

    I think Apple overhypes this product dreadfully. As I said, it's a good video conversion tool, not an all-in-one consumer video editing solution. Ironically, I believe pro video users end up needing QT Pro for various small tasks, while amateur video users can do without it.

    Another $29 Later - MIDI Removed

    • Written by from Redlands

    It used to be that I could go in to a MIDI file and change the instrument settings for each track. Not any more. I paid $29 just to have a capability taken away.

    AWESOME!

    • Written by from Harrison

    This product is the best. 100% worth the $30 by far. Especially great for podcasting... makes it very easy to edit right in QuickTime! Even better when used with GarageBand and iMovie! A must have upgrade!

    This registration key works fine.

    • Written by from Scottsdale

    I'm not sure most people understand what this is. Its NOT software. Its only a registration key, nothing more. What does it do? Lets you save Quicktime movies to a file from a web page. It also activates a few other odds-and-ends, but nothing to write home about. Is it overpriced, sure, but it does activate these added features. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    Bad Serial Numbers

    • Written by from Alexandria

    Some people are writing in saying that after purchasing QuickTime Pro and entering the serial number it doesn't work. It happened to me as well. Call Apple, get a refund, and purchase another serial number. Apparently they don't all work. The product is great though.

    doesn't work

    • Written by from Sedona

    After buying QT Pro for Mac, paying, registering and then opening QT movies, all the editing tools remain greyed-out and do not work. What a waste of $33!
    Frustrated at this Windows-like process.

    Easy, Powerful, Useful, (Did I say Easy?)

    • Written by from Modesto

    What can I say? It is rare that a product continues to live up to it's hype. This is a simple, yet extremely powerful software that has continued to lead it's competitors by example. I use it exclusively for both my home and business solutions. Ultimately all video will end up being shown using Quicktime. Way to go Apple!

    Great Product but....

    • Written by from Escanaba

    i purchased Quicktime 7 Pro for Windows and this software has been great for me so far. I had a few problems with it crashing on my Windows machine, but nothing major or that I wouldn't expect for Windows. Now that I have made the switch to the new iMac (my first Apple), you would think that my license could transfer to the Mac OS X, but Apple and their greedy accountants (no more so than Microsoft accountants) would like me to lay down more money for another copy to run on my iMac. Let's make the software available for both using the same key or at least give me a discount. Greed is what is drove me from Windows please Apple don't follow Microsoft's example.

    The best Apple product yet!!!

    • Written by from SAN FRANCISCO

    This product is amazing and dazzling. With it, there are so many options and additions to multimedia, you can do anything you want and your project will turn
    out fantastic. You have so many import and export options as well as so many the
    various functions that only come with this product, that, for the minimal cost of only $32 with tax, is the best deal anywhere.


    It is the greatest multimedia devepment & editing software around

    it's good but should not charge us

    • Written by

    It is a good basic-editing player. It does all the things you'll expect it to, extract audio(which will be useful with the new iMovie as iMovie doesn't do that anymore), trim videos and more. But isn't it too selfish for Apple to charge people for even a full screen video player? of course, with quicklook and frontrow, we don't need to buy the software merely for its fullscreen function

    Solid Purchase

    • Written by from Carrollton

    I bought Pro thinking that I had to have it for doing a video project in Logic quite awhile back (the basic would have worked). Since then, I have grown to love it as it is a standard and worth the price. I have used it to pull out commercials in MP4s and basic "to frame" editing. You will get your money out of it (for those who think it needs to be free). It's not like Apple is going to let their flagship video player get buggy... The ratings on this should be WAY higher.

    love apple but dont like Quick Time Pro

    • Written by from Saint Peters

    I have been happy with every purchase I have ever made with Apple but this software is worthless. I was only able to save one video from the web and nothing after. That was my whole purpose for purchasing the software. If any one finds a fix or knows what the problem is, please post a solultion.

    QT Pro does NOT improve your streaming video experience

    • Written by from Issaquah

    The Apple advertising and the "Pro only" markers in the Quicktime menus strongly suggest that QT Pro will allow you to download video files that ordinarily are streaming-only.

    This is not the case.

    I fell for the hype and purchased QT Pro. All the "Save as", "Export" etc items in the menu are now clickable --- but when you click them, the object that actually gets saved to your hard drive is just a 1KB link to the original streaming-only content -- you are NOT able to download video files (unless you could download them in the free version of QT).

    In other words QT Pro does nothing to improve your streaming-only content experience. Apple needs to make its advertising much clearer on this point. Since I don't need any of QT Pro's video CREATION features, I will be asking for a refund. Fat chance.

    BTW, the content I was trying to download was a video seminar on Apple Remote Desktop --- video content from apple.com itself --- so my problem is not caused by trying to download video from some questionable source.
