Quicktime for Big Sur

How can I download Quicktime for Big Sur? I cannot find it on my computer. I downloaded Big Sur a few days ago. I need it so I can render out in Quicktime from After Effects as well as record my desktop from time to time?


Thanks in advance.

QuickTime Player is located in your Applications folder. There is no downloadable QuickTime for macOS Big Sur. Alternatively, you can click on the LaunchPad in the Dock, locate the Other collection, select it and QuickTime Player is in there.
