[Shane Ross]

Apple doesn’t read these forums. Gotta post that question here:

When I spoke to some of the FCP developers a couple years ago, they gave me the impression that they did read “forums” (don’t know if the Cow was included). They actually had 3-4 people that seemed to be active in monitoring the forums. Maybe they lied or maybe they just don’t have the time anymore.

I think it would be safe to assume that they don’t read every post on these forums as I’m not even able to read every post on these forums and I spend a lot of time on here.

If you have a problem or suggestion then I would take Shane’s suggestion.

the editors gush about how great it is for scaling. they also point out it can have some issues if the project is bounced back and forth between machines….

They all agree that scaling past 100% size for stills is really bad in FCP….

But that’s the thing, it’s not just when you expand them, it also sucks when you shrink them. A colleague commented that FCP used to do this very well, but in the last few versions (5 & 6, maybe even 4), it started sucking. Maybe the move to support HD broke some stuff, or they had to cut back on some things.
