Ok, so I have a legally purchased FCS for a number of years now, but only recently did I find out that I never had Quicktime Pro installed when I installed FCS applications. How do I solve this problem? I would like to use it especially to compress files once exported from FCP 7.
MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010)
When you install FCP, it unlocks QT Pro. It should be Pro now. When you look through the menu options, do many say (PRO)? Meaning, they aren't unlocked,they are a pro option only?
Thanks for your response. Do you mean Quicktime Player should now convert to PRO version after installing FCP? Which application should I look at the menu options? I know for a fact that I do not have a separate application called Quicktime Pro that I can open from my application folder.
QuickTimes Pro applies only to the QuickTime Player 7 which you should find in Application/Utilities if you are using Mavericks or Yosemite (not sure about Lion/Mountain Lion). The Quicktime X player which comes with the modern systems does not have the Pro option.
Pro is not a separate program: open QuickTime Player 7 and from the QuickTime Player 7 menu choose 'Registration' - if you are registered for the Pro option it should show there.
If you don't have QT7 you can get it here.
QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later
As you have FCS there should be no need to register for the Pro version , it should be automatic.
Note, QT7 is installed in Utilities within Applications.
Thank you thesurreyfriends and Roger for the help. I am getting closer to solving this problem. I checked in utilities folder and I did not have QT7. I installed using the link provided by thesurreyfriends. Now, comes the registration part to unlock the pro features, it is asking for the registration code. I am looking at all my installation CDs and documentation, I do not see any, apart from the FCS Serial number. What do I do now?
I had QT7 installed before installing FCS.
When FCS was installed it unlocked the Pro capabilities.
Your situation is that FCS is installed before QuickTime 7 is installed.
I would not have thought that the order of installation would have made a difference, but it seems to have done so.
The registration code for QT7 Pro is sent from Apple by email to those who buy the Pro facility.
As you are not buying it, you should not need a registration code.
Important:
Installing Final Cut Studio and entering the serial number automatically
unlocks the extended multimedia capabilities of QuickTime Pro.
The above is from the Installation instructions for FCS, and assumes QT7 is installed first.
Hopefully some one else can offer some help here, as I'm out of ideas, apart from re-installing FCS.
Anybody?
There is no app called QuickTime Pro. It is called QuickTime Player 7.app.
Does FCP, and the other FCS apps launch and run? Then you have QuickTime Pro.
Are you the administrator of the computer? Are you logged in as such?
If you launch QuickTime Player 7 and your edit menu looks like this:
Then you have QuickTime Pro. Don't worry about what the registration pane says.

Ok. I will settle for this answer. That you all for your help.
How do I access Quicktime Pro?
