After all, the company has iMovie and Final Cut Pro for consumer and professional video-editing needs. It’s understandable that Apple didn’t invest a lot of time in bringing those pro features to QuickTime X. (And there are those, like our friend John Siracusa, who simply want a media player where the controls don’t appear on top of the video.)
Most of those fell by the wayside in the far more basic QuickTime X, which is focused much more on media playback than on any editing features. The Pro features of QuickTime 7 include making simple edits by cutting and pasting sections of tracks, the ability to export specific tracks from a multi-track file (such as podcasters get if they use a recording utility like Ecamm’s Call Recorder), creating and viewing chapter marks within a file, and more. The biggest reason that people are up in arms about the death of QuickTime 7 Pro is that its successor, QuickTime Player X, never quite filled its shoes when it came to features.

QUICKTIME 7 PLAYER FOR MAC UPDATE
For another, it was first released in 2005, making it almost 13 years old, though it hasn’t seen an update in about 8 years.īut despite its age and the fact that the writing was on the wall for QuickTime 7, news that it wouldn’t see an update when macOS makes the jump to all-64-bit-all-the-time sparked some cries of frustration from users, including both myself and Jason, who have carved out a place in their workflows–and their hearts–for this little anachronism. For one thing, it’s one of Apple’s own apps. What makes this app so unusual are a few factors. Among the casualties of the impending transition to 64-bit apps is one long-lasting oddity: QuickTime 7 Pro.
