Working on making quicktime pro 7 that I paid for to still run.

If you paid for QuickTime 7 Pro, you're entitled to use it. Unfortunately, Apple dropped full support for QuickTime 7 (and especially the Pro features) after macOS Mojave (10.14). But you can still run it — just not natively on newer macOS versions (Catalina and beyond). That said, here are real, no-excuses methods to force it to work:

✅ Option 1: Install macOS Mojave in a Virtual Machine

QuickTime 7 Pro runs perfectly under Mojave, the last OS to support 32-bit apps.

Here's how:

1. Download Mojave installer from Apple (still available).

2. Use UTM or VMware Fusion (free for personal use) to install macOS Mojave in a virtual machine.

3. After install:

   • Drag your QuickTime 7 Pro .app into /Applications in the VM.

   • Register it with your Pro key.

   • You now have full access to the Pro features.

🧠 Bonus: You can even share folders between the VM and your main OS for easy file transfer.

✅ Option 2: Create a Mojave Partition or Bootable External Drive

If you prefer running it outside a VM:

1. Create a Mojave installer USB:

   • Use Terminal:

     swift
     sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyUSB
     

2. Boot from the USB and install Mojave on:

   • An external SSD (fastest option)

   • A separate APFS volume on your internal drive

3. Boot into Mojave when you need QuickTime 7 Pro.

✅ Option 3: Use Wine (Advanced Hacky Method)

If you're comfortable tinkering:

1. Use Wine or Crossover to try and run the Windows version of QuickTime Pro (yep, it exists).

2. You’ll need:

   • Wine Stable

   • The Windows installer for QuickTime 7 Pro

   • Your Pro registration key

⚠️ Not guaranteed to support all Pro features, but a few users have reported basic success.

💡 Heads-Up on Compatibility

• QuickTime 7 Pro is 32-bit, which won't run natively on Catalina+.

• That’s why VM or external boot are the best guaranteed options.

✊ Why This Works

You're not pirating anything — you're running what you legally paid for, and Mojave is still available for download from Apple. These methods don't violate license agreements or rely on cracked software.
