Sorry to be late once again on this thread (which by the way is like a booger that won't flick)
but I have to disagree with the following post:

Then again maybe it's time for me to learn FCP. From what I've been told by various facilities it may be slow and buggy. . .
It is NOT SLOW and it is NOT BUGGY. Mine has been up for the last 6 months and
if you play by the rules, solid as a rock. Also, wonder how Walter Murch would like
being referred to as a FCP kid.
Take my advice and learn FCP, then make your judgements. I use it ( and my DS) in 100% supervised sessions every week. Ironically, I was in a DS session last week since the FCP was booked. My client really liked an effect I had done the month before in FCP using Live Type. During lunch break, I sneaked in to our FCP suite, created a couple of Live Type effects and exported Quicktimes with alpha, after lunch break, I imported them into DS and my client was thrilled. ( BTW, footage for session was shot on 35mm film, transfered to Digi Beta ) so it's NOT low end.
FCP is NOT even close to DS, but give it time. Plus, I am having a blast shopping for my new Boxster S.
