Ted Langdell Ted Langdell Creative Broadcast Services Marysville, CA Main: (530) 741-1212 NO. We use FCP and other editing programs, but just HOW do you think THESE applications get the job done? Quicktime! They're all based on Quicktime. It is the underlying engine that makes it possible. Don't believe me? Trash all the QT components from your computer and THEN try editing video. Registering with the Pro Key gives you a whole HECK of a lot more than just full screen! Quicktime Pro is an essential part of many of the versatile options available in your editing software. Your ability to export to a wide variety of codecs is included, along with several other benefits. (Look them up on the QT section of Apple.com) Well worth the paltry >$30 being asked for the key. Sheesh! Ted.
