QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X

Frustrated

Written by KF from Hurley

Aug 29, 2006

Purchased QuickTime Pro so that I could take MPEG/DVD files and cut/paste certain clips into my powerpoint presentations for work. Unfortunately, there are still not showing any such options to cut/paste anything. The files play as if they were still in simple Quicktime (as opposed to Quicktime pro) and there appear to be no tools available to do anything. When I checked the preferences it clearly shows that I am using Quicktime Pro -- but it certainly does not appear that way.

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.

No excuses for upgrade keys that fail to work

Written by KH from Philadelphia

Jul 21, 2006

Well, I've jumped through all the hoops, purchased TWO copies of the software, talked to three Apple techs, and they still can't get my PRO upgrade keys to work.

One tech said something about "You must have a bad key" Well what the heck is a bad key? This product should WORK, immediately, no excuses, no time-wasting phone calls.

How utterly unlike Apple.
And I still haven't gotten my money back.

Buyer Beware!

Written by JM from Ottawa

Jul 20, 2006

After spending the better part of a day trying to convert a set of digital photos into a slide show with accompanying music from iTunes using Quicktime 7 Pro, including reading the sparse information on slideshows in the Quicktime manual (that is focused almost exclusively on movies), I was unsuccessful. The Apple promo info on the Quicktime pages makes it seem like producing a slideshow is a piece of cake. I finally resorted to calling AppleCare Support only to discover that Quicktime Pro is classified as a "pro" product that requires a fee of $200.00 from a 3rd party technical support company. Despite having AppleCare Support and Apple's statement of support for any Apple software purchased from Apple for 90 days after purchase, there is no mention of the additional and exorbitant fee for technical support for its "Pro" products. The least Apple should do is include a mention of this on its web site and beef up its manual for Quicktime 7 to provide more information and examples for converting digital photos to slideshows.

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!

Use it all the time - Never Fails Me

Written by KM from Belleville

Jun 13, 2006

Quicktime 7.0 Pro is a terrific product. In fact, I have it on both my P.C. and my Mac Mini. I couldn't live without it. [Although I had to shell out for each, I still think it is worth it]

I use the export feature all the time to compress using the H.264 compression codec. If you are not sure how to do this, check out Macbreak.com -- there is a very good segment on exporting and compressing using Quicktime Pro 7.

The last point is when you view videos on the web through google there is an option to download video to a video ipod. Guess what the engine is for this? - - You guessed it - Quicktime.

Enough said.

Video encoding bug. Audio gets out of sync with video.

Written by MS from Issaquah

Jun 13, 2006

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).

not worth $30

Written by SW from Las Vegas

Jun 11, 2006

the only reason why i bought pro, is because i thought that it would accept all movie files.. but IT DOESN'T!!!! You could probably only watch 70% of the movies that you want to dowload!!! NOT WORTH 30 dollars.. i feel ripped =( ..at least i can put my movies into full screen now..

A Short Summary of QuickTime 7 Pro

Written by AS from Sunnyvale

Jun 7, 2006

In all, this is an excellent product which reflects Apple's personality. The reason for it's low raiting are because of complainers on these comments that say their QuickTime 6 Pro was wiped out with QT7.

Hello guys? What did you UPDATE for? Logic, folks: when you are installing QT7, it uses LOGIC to think: huumm, this user want's to UPGRADE. How in land sakes will the computer know you want to install it WITHOUT removing QT6 Pro.

However, I still agree at the lack of functionality with different video and audio formats, especially with the DVD format. Additionally, the price is just a little bit too high. Therefore, it gets four stars.

I may not have done enough research, but bought this to do some file compression for web movies. It doesn't work! I think I need to shell out an additional $20 for an add-on. Absolutely ridiculous! There is better, cheaper software out there.

I Like It

Written by NP from Hot Springs

Jun 1, 2006

QuickTime Pro 7 is a great upgrade from the standard QuickTime. This was my first time to go Pro, & I highly recommend it. The $30.00 price is worth it.

I called Apple, placed my order, & instantly received my code via email! I was using Pro in no time!

The editing tools are great! They're great for quick projects when I don't want to mess with iMovie. While I'll always use iMovie for doing my pro work, QuickTime is perfect for simple editing.

It's so quick! The audio/video capabilities are easy to access & use.

I love also now being able to download QuickTime movies from the net. It's nice to be able to finally archive these movies!

Great product! Buy it today!

Quicktime is a fine product. It's easy to use, easy to set up, and most of the time just plain works. Awesome! But, the bad news is... quicktime will not play all the videos out there on the internet. Get your game together guys, i want to be able to watch anything i want, not just a handfull of proprietary formats.

So much for so little

Written by DD from Greenbrae

May 30, 2006

I have used it on both Windows and Mac with no problems. Once you realize the breadth, depth, and scope of this product it is quite amazing. I think some reader comments have to do with botched up systems. Since QT can do so many things it takes some time to get familiar. It is a major application, a media equivalent of a suite of applications. As such it powers FCP, iLife, and many other applications. QT-7 with H.264 is an amazing scalable codec and the online tutorials really helped me to use it. You can record, edit, and transform media.
