If you are in a situation where you need a fast turnaround with the ability to work within an integrated tool that lets you still make edits, the roundtrip solution is a disaster. DS, Symphony, Smoke or Quantel Pablo/iQ/eQ are the only options. That’s a small niche, but for those folks who need it, such a system is essential. Granted, Symphony is not the best color correction tool or compositor in this class, but it’s still very good. Literally thousands of hours of TV are cranked out annually worldwide on Symphony systems, as well as a few feature films.

David,
The forums seem to be a grande chorale work based around this theme (lots of debates on dissonance vs. harmony), but I’d be interested to your results if you get around to it.
I’m still on 10.6.7 and I was using the latest pre-Lion drivers.
Franz.

I think you mean Color. You can certainly get HD out of FCP.
IoHD is fcp only:

November 7, 2011 at 10:39 amI get that for sure.
I asked in anther thread as well but is the UI of MC6 still “old looking” as in all text isn’t anti-aliaised? If so, can you fix that? I’d hate to jump back 15 years in time staring at fuggly fonts all day long.
