Question from a new guy

I bought a clip on here today and was planning on using it in a project for a film class at school. I have Pinnacle 12 ultimate studio. However, I can't get the clip i bought to go on to the program. Can anyone help me out? because im planning on buying a lot more clips if i can figure this out.

Does Pinnacle 12 support Quicktime MOV files? Do you have Quicktime installed on your computer? Can you view the clip when you double-click on it?

BTW, welcome to Pond5 and thank you for supporting the artists here.

Thanks, you guys are awesome, Quicktime is installed on my computer and i can view the clip after double-clicking on it, but I'm not sure if pinnacle supports it, how do i find out, what editing software does support the clips on here

According to the Pinnacle web site:

It does not import Quicktime MOV files. Do you have Quicktime Pro? If so, you can open the file in Quicktime Pro and export it to AVI or WMV which is supported by Pinnacle 12.

Alternatively, Corel VideoStudio, Magix Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere Elements, Sony Vegas all support Quicktime MOV files directly.

I dont have quictime pro, but i have a friend with sony vegas. so i will give that a shot. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it

Here's a free program that will convert to/from MOV files:
