Vegas Pro 14 and Quicktime

Former user wrote on 1/16/2017, 12:17 PM

Hello,

I have formatted my drive and reinstalled Windows 10, now want to install Vegas pro 14 again but was wondering do I need Quicktime installed or not? If so should I install Quicktime first or after Vegas?

thanks,

David

I doubt if there is any pre-requisite or post-requisite relationship between Vegas Pro and Quicktime.

As a practical matter, I install Vegas and save the system image. I avoid loading Quicktime until I actually need it. Even though my camera records .MOV, Vegas decodes it without Quicktime.

Then someone brings me camera phone video.

Depends. I had to install Quicktime so that I could work with iPhone files. Didn't need it for all other files.

thank you both for the help, will leave quicktime off until Vegas asks for it.

i would leave it off, and use FFMPEG to covert/re-wrap any phone media to .mp4 or .MFX containers. You will be better off without the layer of QT getting in the way.
