Default Protools 2018 Still Requires Quicktime for Movies?

I just updated to the newest version of ProTools, and correct me if I am wrong, but it still requires quicktime in order to host movies? I thought they finally developed their own engine. What's the current work-around?

It has the AVE (Avid Video Engine) that handles movies now. No need for quicktime.

What OS are you running (mac or windows0?

It keeps telling me something is in the log file, but there is nothing in any of the Avid log files

I accidently went to roaming instead of local.

I can confirm that Pro Tools 2018.7 still asks for Quicktime, when installing on Windows 10.

In the corresponding support article from one year ago (!) it reads:
Quote:
Q: What is Avid’s plan to resolve this issue?
A:
Avid has been working on a solution to remove Media Composer's and Pro Tools' dependencies on Apple QuickTime libraries. We will be releasing an update later this year to accomplish this.[...]

It is...and yet (on Mac) there's still the completely useless and forever stuck "Apple QuickTime Server" process, not responding - each time Pro Tools is open.

You need qucitime components for AMA linking. Basically any non avid media still plays back through a quick time engine.
