    Novice Blues

    • Written by

    At age 73, I am an average PC Home User' who is now a 1st time Apple (iMac) user who only uses email, Word & Excel (i.e., no video). Auto Update tells me I must get fix for QT 7 Pro for Mac OS X for $29 or have QT 7 permanently disabled. Very annoying. Smacks of Bill Gates & Co. Why must I add$29 of new software that makes movies (when I never make movies) just to keep QT software that I use only to WATCH graphics????
    Forget it!!!!
    P,S. Now, I have to rate it at least one star just to exit! I give it five MINUS stars.

    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.

    Not compatible with any newer Mac operating system!

    • Written by from Los Angeles

    Be warned that if you're running Quicktime X, which if your system is 4 years or newer, this will NOT BE COMPATIBLE! Can't believe that apple would make this Pro upgrade not compatible with any newer system, but they did. Sloppy. And not like them. Very disappointing.

    Learn how it works

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I gave it a bad review a couple of days ago.. i couldn't transfer files or anything... however, after 2 days of frustration (and buying another one converter that it actually messes with the audio badly) i finally learned how the quicktime pro works... I am amazed with it and now I feel a little guilty for my bad review... if in doubt, just go for it.. it is worth its cost...

    I would have given it 5 stars except that..

    • Written by from Bozeman

    It is very annoying to pay 30 dollars again for the pro version when it seems like I paid 30 for the pro version of Quicktime 6 a few months ago.

    To all users who say it does not work.
    "I tried to convert video but there was no sound" etc..

    This is a very novice complaint because it the program does work and im 99% sure he only copied the video over and not the audio track which is very easy to do both at the same time. I have never had a problem. As I said it should be 5 stars but it seems like I just paid for this not long ago.

    Key is no longer valid after TWO DAYS

    • Written by from Colby

    I purchased quicktime pro last week. I then upgraded to quicktime 7.0.3 two days later. The instructions state that quicktime pro is inactive and I need to purchase a new key! If this is the end result I am finished with apple.

    Excellent

    • Written by from Dublin

    I use QuickTime 7 Pro to convert Keynotes presentations into movies. It is simply flawless. The quality of the movies are excellent, the sound of the audio files are exceptional and it is quite easy to adjust the program to your own needs. Upgrading from your free software is the best thing you can do.

    Quicktime X is NOT COMPATIBLE with the Pro upgrade

    • Written by from San Antonio

    I agree with HL from LA below:

    Quicktime X is NOT COMPATIBLE with the Pro upgrade and they don't say this clearly on their site. I don't think they say it at all, and you only find this out after wasting a lot of time researching it. That an upgrade is not compatible with any newer system is ridiculous. Right HL-0-- Sloppy and Very disappointing.

    QuickTime Issues

    • Written by from Scarborough

    QT is fine when it works, but it have a PLETHORA of issues. And, if you have a problem, often time reinstalling it doesn't fix it. For a software Application of this magnitude, there should be an application repair utility or something to fix the program when there is a problem... It's a real disappointment. Apple has lots of innovation and it's products tend to reflect that, for the most part. Apple's Major FLAW, which is also reflected in its products, is that it makes the assumption that everthing will work perfectly... It should, instead, make things with the assumption that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Many of apple's products have few utilities to fix issues when they arrive.

    Installation

    • Written by from Houston

    I am used to installing software for the Mac, but the installation of Quicktime Pro was confusing and still cannot figure out by looking at my applications folder if I have installed the software. I figure it has been installed because I see the key numbers provided upon purchase confirmation in my Quicktime Player preferences window. But no icon showing Quicktime Pro appears, only Quicktime Player. I would have preferred a more obvious visual clue.

    Seven versus Ten

    • Written by from Austin

    Ten will record a download that used to require seven pro. Quicktime Seven is not needed for OS X's new "10.6" software.

    Buyer beware - Current version is broken when editing Audio back to a video

    • Written by from West Hollywood

    The "pass through" feature is broken in this current version (7.6.6). You won't be able to save audio if you add it to a video clip using the "pass through" feature.

    Dissapointing

    • Written by from ANTSKOG

    Such an easy thing as rotating and cropping.

    Not really easy, barely possible (the cropping part, but as videos are always landscape, you sort of have too)

    I hope I'll find another use than this one that I bought it for. It does a lot of converting (for which I found free tools before, but I'll have a closer look)

    Great but pay?

    • Written by

    I've always been a fan of the QuickTime player, Even in my Windows days, I know it's a great payer, but to pay for the extra features? Not really to sure I'd do that.

    Great and Terrible

    • Written by from Bloomfield

    I've wanted screen-sharing forever, and this has got terrific screen-sharing recording. However, I cannot edit the files in Final Cut Express HD -- it doesn't recognize the files. If I record a screen-sharing, edit the file in Adobe Premier CS4, I cannot export the file as any format. However, if I take the original unedited files and use Adobe Media Encoder CS4; they convert fine. Hope they provide a fix-up soon. My QT 7 Pro upgrade came when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. So if you get QuickTime 7 Pro, you will get the upgrades forever--as I did from when I got it years ago.
