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 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.

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?
