Use the old QuickTime 7 in OS X Mavericks

QuickTime-installation

A lot has happened since Apple's quintessential video player was first unveiled. QuickTime gradually made life easier for OS X users, but With the arrival of OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 the QuickTime player goes to its X version and loses very cool features from version 7.

Those features are added to the well-known iMovie, so in a way users could continue applying those filters and adjustments to their videos, however, the speed and fluidity with which we could do it with QuickTime 7 PRO disappeared.

Apple always reserved several additional features for QuickTime Pro that were not available in the QuickTime Player standard. Some of these features included editing (cut, copy, paste), export to different codecs, and save QuickTime web movies to your hard drive. Others ranged from increasing or decreasing the speed of the video to changing the color or sound.

At that time, people who had QuickTime 7 installed would simply see in the menus that there were certain blocked options that were reserved to that PRO version you had to pay. However, when QuickTime X is released, many of those options disappear leaving the new version, to the liking of millions of users, mutilated.

The point is that if you want to continue making use of those QuickTime 7 extras, it is still possible even if you have OS X Mavericks installed. All you have to do is download QuickTime 7 and install it on your system, since the possibility of having both versions, QuickTime 7 and QuickTime X, installed at the same time is fully compatible. 

In order to download version 7 of this player, all you have to do is click on the following link to download it directly from the Apple website. It's about the QuickTime version 7.6.6. Now you just have to search the network for a registration code for the PRO version. They are found in a very simple way and in the case of such a distant version much more.

Once you have registered QuickTime 7 to the PRO version, you can enjoy the menu that you can open from Window> Show Movie Properties.
