Do I still have QuickTime Pro after SL update?
I'm a bit confused. My QuickTime Player has the new SL look, but I don't see any mention of Pro or Registration. In reading elsewhere, I'm getting the impression that another app (QuickTime?) might need to be installed.
- Do I still have QT Pro?
- How can I verify?
- Do I need to DL something else?
TIA

- If you had QTPro installed prior to SL, both the QT X and QT 7 players are installed.
- The confusing thing is that SL replaces your existing QuickTime (Pro) in the app folder. Then, an SL compatible QT 7 player is installed in the Utilities folder.
- The player in Utilities keeps the Pro registration

Sigh.
Seems like an inelegant and kind of crappy way to do this. Why not just include all of Quicktime 7 Pro's functionality in 10?
Sigh.
Exactly. It's a bit weird. Maybe eventually there'll be a QuickTime X Pro.

*OR* they could be only adding the features that don't over lap with their video editing products. Quicktime is a framework, a player just so happen to do that; if you want more than just basic play, record and clipping then you need to look at imovie/final cut etc.

The QuickTime "player" is actually an excellent lightweight video editor with the Pro features enabled.
iMovie and Final Cut are designed for editing DV-type codecs. QuickTime Player can edit any supported codec without transcoding it first like iMovie does. QT will also export to a wider range of formats than iMovie.
IOW, iMovie and Final Cut are in no way a replacement of the Pro features of QuickTime Player.

Then maybe we'll see features being added in the future - after all, this is a whole new application, limited time and a focus on getting the basics robustly working before moving onto adding those features.
