With some further testing on my end I can confirm that after following the above laid out process you can now safely install Apple Pro Video Formats 2.1.3 to make sure all other software components are at their latest version. However, if you had other codecs on your machine they need to be reinstalled, too (i.e. now you should be able to run FCP7 with RetroactiveĪside other this brings back the /Library/QuickTime directory populated with the Apple standard content.confirm installation process with password.select "Install" from Pacifist's window or ctrl-click and "Install to Default Location".use Pacifist to open the installer package "ProVideoFormats.pkg" from the ProVideoFormats.dmg.download Apple Pro Video Formats (2.1.1) via.download "Pacifist" ( - though it works without registration please sincerely consider paying for this nice piece of shareware, I am not affiliated with the creator).

So if you have no backup you can resurrect that directory from, I suggest the following process before installing a fresh OS and FCPs:

Judging by the available standalone installers 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 it appears the missing 2.1.2 did in fact delete /Library/QuickTime (possibly amongst other directories) and with that rendered FCP7 useless. VLC can also convert, capture/record and be used as a server to stream video. This update is not available anymore and replaced with 2.1.3 with the same date (Aug 25 2020). VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as Blu-ray, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols. I suspect the Apple Pro Video Formats Version 2.1.2 to be the culprit here ( no offense!).
