DO I NEED QUICKTIME 7 FOR MAC TO RUN FINAL CUT EXPRESS 4 INSTALL
Select to install w/ Admin privileges and give your passwordĦ. Select the following 2 folders within Pacifist's window under "Contents of QuickTime720.pkg", and use the "Install Files to Default Locations" command under theĥ. Use Pacifist to open the package file on the QuickTime 7.2 disk imageĤ. So, here's what I made work for me (it's probably just one of the files that we'll be replacing, but I haven't narrowed it down that far yet!):ģ.

Also, if you try to replaceĪll of the QT files using Pacifist, you may run into a problem w/ SystemUIServer repeatedly crashing and causing the items on the right end of the menu bar to slowly blink on and off.

I can't guarantee yet that you won't run into any issues w/ this "hybrid" QT 7.2/7.3 setup, but it did cure the capture issue. Using Pacifist, I was able to replace files in 2 locations and cure my capture problems. So, not relishing the task of Archive & Installing and then cherry-picking all of my supporting Library files, etc, I decided to play around w/ the actual component files for QuickTime. The QT 7.2 installer still didn't recognize my drive as supporting the 7.2 install. +Final Cut Pro: Restoring a DV device connection in QuickTime 7+ I had no success w/ the receipt "trickery" listed above, or on Apple's page:

So, downgrading to QT7.2 is what you want to do.a little easier said than done. I can verify that QuickTime 7.3 is solely to blame for this problem. While upgrading FCP to the latest version should fix the problem (since it seems to only be older FCE/FCP4/4.5/HD that are affected), I have been able to get capturing to work again, even on a 10.4.11 system.
