Have you tried it with FCP or Compressor?
I have FCP 5.1.4 and I am worried about changing my Quicktime which is now Quicktime 7 Pro at 7.2. I remember hearing some bad stuff with FCP and the last QT update. I use compressor a lot and convert HD files down to ipod files and other formats. Any problems there? Thanks, Jennifer

I haven't had any issues (yet), but the After Effects community is freaking out about QT 7.4:

If you use After Effects 8.0 DO NOT upgrade or you won't be able to render using QuickTime. Has to do with Apple's revised DRM for AppleTV that has been rolled into QuickTime 7.4

This is where a consumer electronics company runs into trouble trying to support pro applications.

Why do we need to deal with DRM in post production?

I agree that DRM is a pain in the ass, but the whole 'Apple is a consumer company that doesn't care about us professionals' is getting a bit tiring.

"...the whole 'Apple is a consumer company that doesn't care about us professionals' is getting a bit tiring."

A-GREED.

Isn't that special.

But how can you on one hand agree that DRM is a pain in the ass and then say that this whole consumer vs professional thing is getting old?

After all Apple didn't consult any of us when they decided to change quicktime three times in as many months to be more compatible with iTunes or add DRM so studios would rent movies on AppleTV or release FCP Server and then move the release date back six months to a year.

Aren't you having to deal with the same issues?

Not updating OS or QuickTime rashly is one of the rules of using FCP. For about 18 months I was using FCP4.5/QuickTime 6 (the stable combo) and clicking "Cancel" every time Software Update asked me whether I wanted to upgrade to QuickTime 7. No problems at all.

I think a "pro" user should know better than to rashly jump on every single available upgrade (be it Leopard, QuickTime 7.4, or anything else) without getting some information first.

Personally I think DRM is a pain in the ass because it does nothing to stop people who are actually actively stealing music or videos or whatever for profit- it merely hinders the users. This is true all over the place. Like they say - locks are for honest people. A thief will just smash your window.

What I'm saying is that you obviously have a gripe and feel that Apple is pandering to the consumer and ignoring the professionals. I disagree, but I get that you feel that. But you keep saying it. So I'm just letting you know it's tiring to hear it over and over.

Wow, Apple just keeps making it easy to "gripe" about them [www.lafcpug.org]

Actually I'm not really griping. Who am I kidding, YES I AM, but not because I don't like it, I'm just unhappy that I'm still waiting for FCP Server....

What I'm tired of hearing over and over is that Quictime is broken again [www.macfixit.com]

But what the hell, I sure like playing with that iPhone.

Maybe Apple should start working with Blu-ray rather than breaking records.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
