QT6 to pro or not to pro
Basically,
the case for Quictime Pro has been confused ever since it was released as part of QT3. The "Pro Upgrade" enables a specific set of features in Quicktime Player and the PictureViewer applications which are part of the basic QT install. the rest of Quicktime is the same whether you choose to enable "Pro" or not. The Same what you may ask? ... a mess of libriaries and routines which support graphics interchange, video playback, audio playback and encoding. ....just to mention a few. To restate... QT pro only affects the Player and viewer applications so they will be enabled to save. If you have another application which is programmed to enable the savining and encoding of files, the libraries are in your system and available for those purposes whether you have the "Pro" version or not. iMovie would be one of those applications.... Premiere, after effects, photoshop, all make quicktime supported images without the need for quicktime player support. if you are a programmer you can easily create your own program to save and process quicktime movies The main idea behind the "pro" license is to provide the serious user with a readily available desktop application (Movie Player) which has access to a large percentage of the abilities of QT. If you prefer other applications to accomplish those tasks there is and never has been any reason beyond desktop convenience to enable the features hiding in the Movie player. This topic barely qualifies as a hint, rather it should be listed as a "reminder".
QT6 to pro or not to pro
QT6 supports AAC audio but I don't see that as an option for audio in iMovie. |
