In update for QuickTime 7.3.1 (or later), Apple removed the support for playing back Flash files in QuickTime. This has been part of QuickTime since 1999, but Apple removed this capability with no warning to developers or users. Several of the Slick plug-ins make extensive use of the Flash capabilities in QuickTime, and require Flash to display and render some titles, transitions and effects.

Right now the only solution that Apple provides is to downgrade to QuickTime 7.3. To do this, Apple requires you to reinstall Mac OS X. Using the option to preserve Users and Settings makes this much easier - your data, applications and preferences are saved.

We're investigating other ways to bring back these capabilities without the use of Flash, but this may require a major rewrite of the plug-ins. The plug-ins affected are Wild FX titles (Vols. 5, 7 & 8), Ani-Mattes (Vol.8), Object Wipes (Vol.9) and Transitions in Vol. 10. Send us a note and we'll let you know as soon as we have more information.

Best Regards,
