Why Do I Need QuickTime

I am a NEW VS9 user after a week of total frustration with Pinnacle Studio 9. Just one too many "render hangs" with no solution. So I downloaded the trial VS9. I am impressed so far. Finished two projects with success.

Why did QT load with VS9? Why do I even need this program? I already have a couple of video viewers (WinMedia, Interactual, Intervideo, etc). Can I just uninstall QT and still use all of VS9 capabilities? I would think so, since I exit QT (and everything else in the background) when I am working in VS9.

Thanks for the great board. I have learned alot already in the two days I have been trying VS9.

QT is required for the FULL version of UVS 8 and 9 because the SmartSound feature relies on it. I don't think the trial version includes SmartSound, so you shouldn't need it.

You also need QT for animated gif support.

Thank you for the information. SmartAudio did get installed with the trial version. I guess I will keep QT.

After two days, I am pretty impressed. Another couple of days trial and then I'll order the full version. At least Ulead will give me $30 competitve upgrade from pinnacle studio 9 so my money spent on that unstable unreliable program won't be completely wasted..
