Upgrading from QuickTime 6 Pro to QuickTime 7 Pro
When planning to upgrade from QuickTime 6 Pro to QuickTime 7 Pro you need to know that you will need to purchase a new license key for QuickTime 7 Pro. However, the application will make authoring a lot easier and is worth the purchase. Unfortunately, The old license key that you purchased for QuickTime 6 Pro will not work with QuickTime 7 Pro.
Once you are up and running with QuickTime 7 Pro you should love it! The thing I like best is that increasing the frame size for movies becomes easier. Now for QuickTime movies, you can easily type in the width and height for the frame size you would like to adjust your movie to. You no longer have to try to adjust the frame size by adjusting the movie player window. This task many times took a long time to adjust in QuickTime 6 Pro and there is a significant time savings in QuickTime 7 Pro.
Overall, the Movie Properties window is nicely designed providing better viewing of adjustable parameters and easier accessibility through tab browsing to items such as Annotations, Statistics, Visual Settings and Other settings. Now there is a nice volume slider to adjust the volume levels. Deleting tracks and extracting tracks is also a snap with QuickTime 7 Pro. In addition, it's easier to see the total tracks, including hint tracks, without having to navigate to a drop down menu.
Additional QuickTime 7 Pro features:
- The application has capture features that QuickTime 6 Pro did not have.
- It has the ability to easily export videos for the Video iPod and iTunes, easily making your video content portable.
- The new user interface is brilliant and makes creating streaming content a more enjoyable experience.
