    But isn’t it great that FCPX is not Quicktime based. Let’s see where Apple goes with AV Foundation.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a player that could handle all sorts of codecs and container formats. You’d think that could happen given what FCPX can play (supposedly).

    Overall I like 7 better, but I’ve noticed that QT X is a much better performer on newer media like mpeg2 and such. But it doesn’t have the pro functions available, so generally it’s pointless for FCP users and is a non argument.

    Miss JKL, better trim control and external to window controls in QTx. That last one drives me most nuts because you cannot mouse over a QT X video without seeing controls covering the content- ick.

    They have. It’s QT PLayer 7. Handles everything from MKV to WMV to MXF to DPX.

    Would be good if understood anamorphic 16:9

    See that’s funny, because it always gets my mpegs and anamorphic right and never displays formats wrong. Whilst in QT7 I constantly have to change the settings so that it shows things in the correct aspect. From 4:3 non-square to P2, it always seems to assume it’s square pixels. QT X seems to know on my machine.

    I *always* use 7. Beter export, no controls ON TOP of my video, JKL, command F triggers the play action as well. Love it.
