I have purchased Quick Time 7Pro but I am only being given Quick Time 7 . WHY?????
Because only QT 7 can be upgraded for "Pro" use. The "Pro" registration code allows the QT 7 Player to access a number of editing features which are not available to either the QT X or the standard QT 7 players. This includes the ability to export/transcode files to any compression format compatible with your system's QT codec component configuration—including many legacy an third-party formts; mask, composite, and/or layer content; create picture-in-picture or pictutre-with-picture content; mix up to 99 tracks of various data types; create reference files/pseudo-playlists; customize content for specific purposes like quick start web files, export content for optical "data disc" playback on computers, apply rudimentary effects (e.g., alpha gain, brightness/contrast, ColorSync, HSL balance, and/or RGB balance adjustments; blurs; edge detection, emboss, and/or general convolution filters; sharpen; and/or colot style, color tint, film noise, and/or lens flare a la "Groundhouse" special effects); etc. In short, while QT 7 may not always be the best app for playing the most modern forms of multimedia, it remains the product of more than a decade of QT evolution and most QT "heavy users" were/are simply unwilling to give up these capabilities for a new QT X player which is still in its developmental infancy. QT 7 Pro is still the best $29 utility investment for imaginative users who don't want or need to use FCP to make "quick" edits/adjustments. The main problem here is that only a limited number of QT 7 Pro users take full advantage of all the things this utility offers.
