QuickTime and Windows 8

I am surprised that Apple has not updated QT Player for Win8, but then do not have Win8 on any machines. I do see that QT Player 7 does not list Win8, as a host OS, but since I have not read of issues with QT Player and Win8, would suspect that it does work with that OS - but others, with Win8, will need to confirm that for you.

PrE does rely on QT Player, even beyond just handling certain Apple files, so I would install it, when there is a Win8 version available.

Good luck,

Hunt

Yes you do need QuickTime, especially to have QuickTime presets in the Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime section of Premiere Elements 11. More also.

And, yes, QuickTime will install on Windows 8 64 bit. I have both Premiere Elements 11 and QuickTime (latest version) installed on by laptop that has a Windows 8 64 bit operating system.

Where are you getting your QuickTime information from?

If necessary, I will post the specific information on my QuickTime download in my Windows 8 64 bit computer environment.

More soon.

Here is one link that is online for the QuickTime (latest version)/Windows 8 64 bit.

http://www.filehippo.com/download_quicktime_player/tech/

I am still checking to see which download site I used in my case.

All has been working well since I installed Premiere Elements 11 and QuickTime (latest version) on my Windows 8 64 bit. And, that has been almost a year.

The link that I posted traces back to the Apple Home Page from where I downloaded by Quicktime 7.7.4 (latest version) 32 bit version.

That Quicktime 7.7.4 (latest version) 32 bit version is what I have on my Windows 8 64 bit and, as said, works fine to support Premiere Elements (any version's needs). Has been for over a year.

Hunt,

The latest version of QuickTime 7.7.4 is available and works on Windows 8 64 bit in conjunction with

Premiere Elements 11 et al.

ATR,

I had assumed that it would, or we would have read many posts of incompatibility, and we have not. Thanks for the confirmation.

Maybe it's time for Apple to update the host OS data for the PC, to include Win8?

Good luck to the OP,

Hunt

This was the Apple URL, that I looked at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

It lists 7.7.4 version of Apple QT Player.

My guess is that Apple's "System Requirements" is just behind.

Good luck,

Hunt

I did not search for French, so cannot answer your question directly.

Sorry,

After a long experience with Premiere Elements 11 and 10 and QuickTime 7.7.4 32 bit on Windows 8 64 bit and no problems, the percentages are high for that working for you as it has for me.

I do not believe that there is a QuickTime 64 bit version. But that means no QuickTime as a 64 bit application. That does not mean that QuickTime 32 bit application will not work in Windows 8 64 bit computer system.

You are certain to have Premiere Elements problems not having QuickTime installed. On the other hand, I think it highly unlikely that you will have Quicktime problems. No 100% guarantee on anything with or without QuickTime involved.

But, I believe that QuickTime, as does Premiere Elements, needs to be run as Run As Admininstrator and/or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.

Please update us on your progress.

Thanks.

ATR,

There has been some recent talk about Apple porting QT Player for 64-bit Windows OS's, but I have seen nothing to indicate that it has been yet.

Obviously, Apple's prime focus for QT Player is for the Mac, with the PC version being a "step-child."

Time will tell if they do offer a full 64-bit version. As you state, however, the 32-bit version should work fine with a 64-bit Windows OS.

Please do!

For learning PrE, this article has some useful links, and especially Steve Grisetti's Basic Training Series. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3953827#3953827
