That’s probably also the reason why AVID moved to their own engine in Pro Tools (they used QuickTime before). Apple moved Logic’s video engine to AVFoundation with Logic 9 (I think) and they had to drop features like external video output which many users really hate.Ī common confusion among many OS X users is QuickTime 7 versus QuickTime X on OS X. QuickTime 7 (Pro) uses the original QuickTime engine while QuickTime X uses the new AVFoundation framework. In my experience most users don’t know this and are always confused when they hear that.

AVFoundation can only handle a few codecs and there are no codec packs you can install to change that.Īs far as I am aware, AVFoundation never made the jump to Windows. Probably because Windows now has powerful frameworks itself and there’s just no need to port the platform. Probably because the only people knowing all the innards of QuickTime are either dead or are no longer working for Apple. QuickTime really was MASSIVE! You could literally do EVERYTHING with it but as many parts were really old, it was a real pain!Īpple introduced a new platform called AVFoundation as a successor in OS X 10.6 (5 years ago). Since OS X 10.9, QuickTime has been officially deprecated and might disappear in a new OS X release. Although Apple is still extending AVFoundation, it’s still not as powerful as QuickTime. While it was and still is a great engine, they never made the move to 64 bit.


The original QuickTime framework is 24 years old now which are a couple of centuries in computer time. We asked Non Lethal Applications, makers of Video Slave and Video Slave Pro, which Alan reviewed and we have a deal running until April 30th 2016, to comment about this and also the wider story of QuickTime and so this is from Flo Loferer the developer and owner of Non Lethal Applications. What Do Non Lethal Applications Have To Say? My gut instinct is this is anti-Windows hysteria, fuelled by people not prepared to look into it in any depth, and happy to just re-publish a scare story that's landed in the lap on a quiet news day. None of the articles I've read link to a specific statement by Apple.

If it's so bad to have this software on your Windows system, why is it still available for download from Apple? The "uninstall advice" that Trend Micro are linking to is a generic advice page, and does not reference this supposed issue. I am also deeply suspicious of this - something to me just doesn't add up. My Pro Tools systems don't directly access the internet, and the chances of a "dodgy source" QuickTime making it on to my system are really quite slim. The advice so far seems to be that Pro Tools and Media Composer users should disconnect their systems from the internet, or at the very least be very careful about opening QuickTime movies from questionable sources. Apparently Avid have been made aware of the issue but it does appear to be a quick fix because QuickTime is so integral to the Avid workflow. As our Pro Tools Windows specialist we asked Alan Sallabank for his thoughts.įor the moment I plan to carry on regardless. And because Apple is no longer providing security updates for QuickTime on Windows, these vulnerabilities are never going to be patched.

Note that this does not apply to QuickTime on Mac OSX. They will no longer be issuing security updates for the product on the Windows Platform and recommend users uninstall it.

The story seems to be coming from a post by Trend Micro in which they say. If you are still running 'Source Elements Desktop' please consider upgrading to a standalone version of Source-Connect for security purposes. Uninstalling this software will not affect Source-Connect or related software since version 3.1. We recommend all Windows users uninstall the non-secure QuickTime player. Our friends at Source Elements have issued what they describe as a "Public Service Announcement" because Apple have stopped patching QuickTime for Windows.
