Reviews for QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

Final Cut Pro is overkill for almost anything I would need to do. What I need a video editing program for is encoding (saving movies into formats for web streaming and my iPod), some basic editing, color correction, slideshows, saving movies from the web, and viewing movies in full screen.

QT Pro does all this and more. For less than $30 this is money well spent.

I upgraded to QickTime Pro (already have QickTime on new Mac Pro) received an email with the name and KEY -- several attempts to register, but keep getting INVALID KEY - closed QuickTime and tried again same result, restarted system and tried several more times with same result - attempted "Apple" key and f at same time and get the message I need to upgrad to get the full screen feature --- I just upgraded, now what???????

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!

I needed to do the simple task of creating a movie from still images (png's). I've used Imagemagick on Linux, Videomach on windows, even using powerpoint to create a gif animation, but still wasn't happy with the quality and ease of use. Within a minute, QT Pro created exactly what I needed.

I am simply amazed at all of the negative response, about Quicktime Pro.
I have been using Quicktime Pro for several years on both windoze and macintosh machines. It has always performed flawlessly.
Converting files is what I use it for. I use all of the high end video prod. software.
Powerpoint is lame, what is its actual use? ( I actually do know how to use it very well) it can't handle large pictures, which causes stalls on even fast machines, won't work on another machine unless it has the exact same fonts etc.
and most people think it is a slideshow software.
iPhoto: golly wally does that really deal with video and sound? I did not know this.
maybe to play but it is not a {video production anything} maybe to ....

If it, Quicktime Pro doesn't work, I will just bet there is a user that has been buttering his bread with dumbbutter for way to long.
My Advice: start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX, there really is an opportunity for all if you just stop using the dumbbutter that is being handed out so freely.

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.

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.

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.

media players should all follow quicktime's lead

if you don't mind spending extra its easy to save vids, use full screen, etc... since quicktime seems to be such an integral part of the mac lineup why don't they just make it do everything for free?
