After Effects users - DON'T install QT 7.4!
Apple - Support - Discussions - After QT7.4, AE error-you do not have ...
Breaks AE, the DRM prevents you from viewing movies that you made.
Yep, you don't have the right to view a QuickTime you are the author of.
Best DRM of the year.
Most definitely NOT.

UPDATE - one of the commenters said that it is fixed by clicking on Support Legacy Codecs, and there's another thread about Sorenson 3 dissapearing:
Apple - Support - Discussions - Sorenson 3 missing after update ... - again, perhaps it is an update legacy codecs thing? I can't check it myself.
Right from Adobe guy's blog:
Keyframes: Don't update to QuickTime 7.4
Thanks VERY much to all the commenters keeping me up to date on all this...

This is a bug more to do with some kind of permissions problem and has nothing to do whatsoever with DRM. Apparently it can be resolved (havent tested this yet) by going to the quicktime prefrences and in the advanced tab, click enable legacy codecs.
There are issues under Windows that are related to streaming playback with the browser plugin component in 7.4.
I suggest you don't upgrade at all regardless of your use of AE.

I have tested and it is not fixed by turning on "show legacy encoders" in QT preferences. AE fails exactly after 9:59 into a render if you are trying to export to a QT file. If your renders are shorter than 10 minutes it doesn't happen but longer than 10 minutes... bam!
The current workaround is to export to an image sequence and then open that in QT and export to a QT file if that is what is needed.
QT 7.4
AE 8.0.2
Mac OS 10.4.11
PPC dual 2.5 G5

This visual step-by-step might be of help to Mac people who want to downgrade to 7.3.1 but don't exactly know how.

Apple just released Quicktime 7.4.1 which purports addresses security issues and improves compatibility with third-party applications,"
Has anyone tested this with After Effects yet? I am still on 7.4 and have a project I need to complete next week, so I am hoping this does it (if not I will just use Image Sequences as I don't want to potentially mess up my system with a downgrade).
