Adobe dropping QT

https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/quicktime-on-windows/

Greg, any official word from Adobe on what will continue and what will stop. Just a lot of guess work here.

I've reached out to P5 and other sources for some indication of what the future holds for Adobe. Import looks ok but export may be very limiting or at least that is how it appears to me.

Apple’s will announcement the end of legacy QT 32 bit in 10.14. Apple has been talking about EOL’ing QT for years.
Legacy QT is being cut, Abobe doesn’t think it will have a massive impact as they natively decode a lot of QT in a .mov wrapper without using QT already. Premiere Pro will still play and encode a lot of Apple .mov content.
Adobe through Premiere Pro made an impact on the industry because they could play Canon 5dMk2 content when no one else could. This was h.264 content in a .mov wrapper. Premiere Pro was natively reading the h.264 wrapper without using the QT. Now PP can do that with most codecs including ProRes. Below is a list that can use native codec support inside of a .mov wrapper.

Windows obviously is a little different as QT has never been native to Windows. Not sure what this mean completely as far as future Windows PC machines.

Native Video Export:
* Uncompressed
* DV
* Cineform
* DNxHD/DNxHR
* Animation
* ProRes (Mac only)

Native Audio Export:
* Uncompressed
Native Video Import:
* DNxHD/DNxHR
* JPEG
* PNG
* ProRes
* Cineform
* DV
* AVCI
* h264
* IMX
* MPEG2
* HDV
* HEVC
* XDCAM
* Uncompressed
* Animation (without delta frames)

Native Audio Import:
* Uncompressed
* AAC
* AC3

For export: So is h.264 / h265 in .mov for export going to be dead? So will PJPEG be dead soon? So will PC WIndows based ProRes 422 in QT be dead?

Just updated my PremierePro to the latest version and you can stil import .mov files in h.264 and h.265 to PremierePro but in export mode in .mov container codecs: h.264 and PhotoJPEG are missing.

want quicktime prores for pc and more: http://www.aescripts.com/aftercodecs these were all released officially on day 1 of NAB.
