Introduction
This tutorial will show you how to install and configure QuickTime for optimal performance, security, and user satisfaction.
Kcd kitchen design software, free download. Apple has discontinued development of QuickTime. However, many professional applications require QuickTime for importing and editing certain file and video formats, such as MP4/MOV, ProRes and DNxHD. Examples of such applications are: Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, GoPro Studio, Sony Vegas, and Traktor DJ. This tutorial will help you install only the minimal components needed for such applications.
QuickTime has some known security vulnerabilities. This tutorial shows you how you can safely use QuickTime, by skipping installation of insecure components such as the player and browser plugin.
Step 1: Downloading the installer
Version 7.79.80.95 (39.9 MB)
Download from Apple.com
Download from MajorGeeks.com
Download from FileHippo.com
This installer requires Windows Vista or newer.
If you have Windows XP you need to use version 7.6 of QuickTime. That version does not have a customizable installer. It installs the browser plugins by default, so it isn't secure. This tutorial does not apply to that version!
Step 2: Installation

Security tips
Quicktime Vs Vlc
Your QuickTime installation is secure as long as you don't open any .mov and .qtl files that you have downloaded from untrusted sources. This warning only applies to the QuickTime Player and third party applications that use the QuickTime Codecs.
Vlc Quicktime Video
You don't need to worry about .mov files if you use VLC Player or the K-Lite Codec Pack for playback.
