Windows users have dramatically different experience as After Effects uses QuickTime for Windows, but neither Microsoft nor Adobe install the utility. On Apple’s Mac OS computers QuickTime generally is not a concern, as it is from Apple and is installed within Mac OS computers such as a PowerBook or iMac by default, effectively integrated into the operating system. While QuickTime itself is not a problem, it leaves a possible back-door for someone to use in installing malware or spyware on a computer. Both security problems allow someone to possibly use QuickTime as a pathway to install malicious software on a computer. There are two known security problems with QuickTime for Windows that impact After Effects and Creative Cloud users. This leaves Adobe Creative Cloud users, especially those involved in video production and effects creation, in a bind. Additionally, Apple is reportedly ending future support of QuickTime for Windows. QuickTime for Windows has been identified as a security hazard by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Adobe’s reliance on Apple’s QuickTime for After Effects, especially on Windows computers, has become a significant problem for Creative Cloud users. To create some video formats from After Effects, this Adobe Creative Cloud app uses QuickTime to export or render certain video format types. Adobe does not include all export functionality directly within After Effects. Adobe After Effects uses QuickTime on Windows and Mac computers to encode and export animations, effects, and video to a number of video formats.
If you use After Effects, QuickTime from Apple is likely installed on your computer.
