As you know, most versions of Final Cut Pro are tied to certain versions of QuickTime, but as time passes, it gets harder and harder to remember all the different permutations. I can’t remember if I wrote about this already, but Mark Besh sent me this:
FYI: Found this chart of suggested configurations at Digital Rebellion.com
Larry replies: Thanks Mark for pointing this out, and Digital Rebellion for putting it together.

It seems the suggested QT and FCP configs at Digital Rebellion.com are for earlier versions of FinalCutPro (pre FCP X). I currently have FCP X 10.6 and am looking for a QT version match.
Thanks
Agnes:
With FCP X, Apple has moved away from QuickTime as the foundation for media playback because its technology is only 32-bit. Instead, they are working with AV Foundations, which is 64-bit. For this reason, we no longer need to sync QuickTime with FCP. I use both QuickTime Player X (for playback) and QuickTime Player 7 in my daily editing.
