No More Quicktime Plugin?

[Harry Clark]

Hi guys...
I was trying to get a new kid set up with the tools to see and QC Red footage. She could not find the Red Quicktime plugin on red.com. Sure enough, when I looked, there were only plugins for Final Cut.
Is there no longer a standalone Quicktime plugin if you simply want to view proxies or use Clipfinder?
Cheers,
Harry

It's bundled with the Final Cut Installer on RED.COM/support

Thanks Jeff...
I kind of thought that might be the case.
She doesn't have Final Cut, but I assume when the installer runs, the computer will ignore the Final Cut components and install the Quicktime ones.
Anyway, I'll steer her back over to the support page.
Cheers,
Harry

I wish they kept the lonely one, many clients out there don´t have FCP installed and would like the benefits of running the proxies. Having the essential quicktime plugin hidden away in a bundle makes them confused.

Agreed. Seems weird. Maybe from their perspective "everyone has Final Cut Pro now"...
Cheers,
Harry

When you run the installer package, right after you accept the license agreement, you can click on the customize button. There you can choose which components to install.

I kinda agree that the QT component should be available separately, but at the same time it's probably best to keep it in a single location to minimize potential confusion and version mis-matching. I definitely agree that it's not very obvious where to obtain the plug-in or how to go about installing it.
