With the news that Quicktime 7 Pro is no longer selling Registration keys, what program can I use that does the video/audio modifications and other features that Quicktime 7 Pro had. $30 was a great price for these simple options.
Mac mini (Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
QT X was seen as a downgrade by pros (and prosumers) from the get-go. I just tried out 4 or 5 apps in the App Store and can't find any that can do a very simple cut, crop, rotate, trim functions quickly and easily. Basically, I need to take widescreen videos and do a quick vertical promo. I don't see anything out there. In the $20-$25 range, I'm finding the editors slow an ineffective. This should be a simple tool.
The process I just used: Trim in QT7Pro (faster than I would have in QTX), transfer to iPhone, Open the video in "Video Crop" on the iPhone (which is free - yup, that's the name of the app)...crop to 9:16 and expand in one simple step, then post via Instagram Stories. Great. It works. Why can't I do this in one simple app on the Mac. I should be able to do the Video Crop app functions right in Quicktime X. I should also be able to take advantage of the speech to text capabilities in Clips on a widescreen or vertical video...but that would be another thread.
iMovie and FCP is just overload for a simple edit. I don't want to deal with libraries, caches, etc for an edit that should take about 2 minutes total.
There's no Pro licence for QuickTime X Player because it includes virually all functions for free.
Is there a specific function that you can't perform in QT X?
Thanks for responding. I wasn't aware that Quicktime X had all the features available. I use Quicktime 7 Pro for isolating audio channels as a verification as well as other simple editing tools. I will try Quicktime X and see if it fulfills my needs. Thanks again.
You also cannot REMOVE or REPLACE audio tracks, only add new ones - so they just play at the same time, which seems pointless.
