That's a clever answer, for sure, but it doesn't help very much.
For those who do not have a key (I happen to and am still running El Capitan) is there perhaps alternative software that would allow the functionality that they've lost going from Quicktime 7 Pro to Quicktime 10?
For instance, I routinely dig around in QT files and fiddle with tracks. In the instance below, I extracted the Sound Track and re-added it to create Sound Track 2 as a workaround to make this file comply with an Adobe Premiere's Proxy workflow requirement.
I may be overlooking it, but I don't see any way to do something similar in QT Player 10.
A move from Quicktime Pro 7 to Quicktime Player 10 with less functionality seems like a backward move for Video Professionals.

Thank you. 😎
I still have QuickTime Player 7 Pro running on High Sierra…
I redacted my name and code of course. I don't do video editing so I don't know what else may be available to replace QT7. I'm sure there much be something.
Check if it's still compatible with Sierra, this says upto El Capitan but it's dated Oct 2016 - not sure when Sierra came out but think it around this time
Depends on what you want to do with it. For pros, 7 has a lot to offer:
7 can edit, layer, change all kinds of metadata, add and delete tracks, 10 can do less.
7 has the controls outside the movie, 10 has it covering a part of the movie.
7 can add effects
7 can open a wider range of codecs, 10 has to convert a lot of formats
Indeed. QT7 Pro can also:
- enable / disable / extract individual tracks
- choice to display timecode / frame number / elapsed time
- easily set I/O points and copy / paste to new document
- change frame size / display aspect
Seriously, convert the entire file before I can see what it is? What a waste.
QuickTime X is a sad little excuse for replacement. For me. Still looking...
I downloaded, entered my key and the logo switched to the Pro logo but whenever I try to do anything other than play a video it brings up a dialogue box with the options of "learn more" or "buy now" either way it takes you to the apple support page but there is no option to buy and not much more to learn. Is it possible to get this to work the way it used to?
Open QT 7's preferences. There's a choice to turn off ads and suggestions. You get those whether you've activated the Pro features or not, making it appear at times it's still the standard version.
As long as when you check the activation screen the logo is the Pro version, then it has been correctly activated.
Just to clarify, QuickTime Pro keys are no longer available so you have to already own a key.
please, what is the 'key' that I need?
If you don't currently have one, keys are no longer available for purchase.

FWIW, QuickTime Player 10 does 95%, if not 100% (can't remember), of everything that QuickTime Player 7 Pro did.

Seeing QuickTime Pro 7 is no longer available, it no longer does anything QuickTime 10 does.
As the next post suggests, I downloaded QT7 again, same version as I already had, and the Pro features returned. Phew!
