Oh and I almost forgot.  Regarding several comments about "switching between applications" while working on FCP.  That is a non-issue.

 

Since it is all native Quicktime, you can work in FCP, LiveType and Motion and switching between is a button push as you can toggle between each.  You don't have to "Import / Export" each time, since FCP let's you open in the host application and it references the

native file.  You must however export to After Effects and back.  ( Gee, I really seem to be getting defensive over FCP.)  But I just want those who have not used it to realize its pluses and minuses. 

 

Plus, regarding hardware support and such.  If my G5 dies, I can go to the mall and buy

a new one and be back up in a matter of hours. My storage drives have a 5 year warranty and the AJA IO box is bullet proof and cost under $2K. 

 

As it has been said a bazillion times on this forum before, it is the person sitting in the chair, NOT the flavor box of the day.  Reminds me of the following story.

 

Ernest Hemingway and Ansel Adams are sitting in a bar one day, Sloppy Joe's no doubt.

Ernest says to Ansel, "That must be a really expensive and fancy camera you take all those stunning pictures with."   Ansel replies, "Why yes, and that must be a real fancy pencil

you write all those wonderful books with."  Enough said.
