I am trying to figure out what is the difference between Quicktime player and Quicktime player 7?
Also, others are talking about Quicktime 10 and Pro.
I have Sierra installed on my MacBook pro early 2015.
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
What do you mean by Quicktime 7?
The current version of Quicktime Player is 7.
You can upgrade the Player to the Pro versin to get additinal features
Where to get answers about QuickTime 7 or QuickTime 7 Pro - Apple Support
The free version of the QuickTime 7 player is older than QuickTime X and has fewer features, but in Mavericks and newer, support for older media formats was removed from QuickTime X, while QuickTime 7 can still play them.
It’s no longer possible to buy QuickTime 7 Pro keys, and there is no QuickTime X Pro.

Quicktime 10 supports "trimming" of a file while QT 7 limits that feature to the Pro version of QT7.
Thanks Niel for your input as well as, to the others.
i am relatively new to Mac - but, I have iPhone SE; iPAD MINI; and a MacBook Pro with early 2015 software ; all current updates and Sierra installed.
On this MacBook - I have a QUICKTIME - says versions 10 xxx something, and something that says QUICKTIME 7 - it appears that QUICKTIME 7 is just for viewing things, i.e. movies etc..
My confusion lies in that why don't they just make one version available to do both??
Such as what VLC does?
Just as with iTunes, that seems to be a default program for videos, music etc..
I find it confusing to see these three options that could virtually do the same thing if apple desired.
Does that clarify my question some more?
Thanks to all.
