Since I have always used the "pro" version of QT, and Final Cut brags that it enables these "pro" features, it seemed logical to me that same was required for Apple video editing. Thanks for informing me that it is not, that (I presume) all the format conversions that QT is capable of when exporting from Final Cut will still work without paying Apple for the "pro" version. The basic functions of QT in video editing, in other words, are evidently available without the extra fees. Good to know, in case updates to editing programs require corresponding updates in QT, and I fail to pay immediately for the pro version of the update. But at least in my case, since I use the "pro" features of QT all the time in video editing, it would be a considerable handicap not to have them (which no doubt is why Final Cut activates them). In fact, anybody doing serious video editing would probably miss those features--otherwise, Apple would be so successful charging extra money for them. For example, I could not have installed this excellent Perian plug-in to QuickTime if it was not the "pro" version. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
