That got me thinking about iChat AV. Not for video conferencing but file transfer. Don’t get me wrong, it will still take some time.
From the Apple – Mac OS X – iChat AV page,
Of course, iChat is also a versatile instant text messaging application, supporting AOL Instant Messenger and Jabber Instant Messenger clients. Icons and thought bubbles make it fun to see who

You will not lose quality depending on the codec you use like Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2.
What you will lose is time especially you uploading and the compositor downloading. Round trip will be 4 transactions for one clip. Not very efficient.
If you could set up a local FTP server, preferrably a SFTP server/client you would only have 2 transactions per round trip clip.
FileZilla for Windows and Fugu – Mac OS X SFTP / SCP / SSH FrontEnd come to mind.
I hope you have fat pipes. A T1 line at 1.5 Mbps — note the small b — is only 187.5 KBps — Bytes or 1,500,000÷8(bit word)=187.5 KBps. So 1220 MB for an uncompressed one minute clip would take:
1220MB ÷ .1875MBps= 6507sec ÷ 60sec/min = 108.44445min ÷ 60min/hr = 1.8hrs for one direction.I just tested my connection at dslreports.com for comcast.net and got:
4479 kbps down and 699 kbps up which is:
559.875 KBps down and 87.375 KBps upB is for byte which is an 8 bit word.
I think I got all the math right, but even so I hope you get my point.
I used the second to worst scenario Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 since you were worried about visual quality. The worst would have been Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. Of course with DV your file sizes will be about 210MB/min with 5:1 compression and 4:1:1 color sampling.
To determine various data rates and storage requirements you need to download aja.com – AJA_Data_Rate_Calculator_102b11.zip.
I’m just saying that anything over a couple of minutes FedEx still makes sense.

True but the .PDF also gives you a visual keyboard map that may help jog your memory so it is easier to remember rather than just a Final Cut Pro Button List.
Adding to your OPT+J, if you CTRL+click (or Right+click with a 2 or 3 button mouse) in the darker grey area to the right of tabs in any window you will get a context menu with the following:

Final Cut Pro: Restoring a DV device connection in QuickTime 7 probably also needs to be added to the list of things to check.

Or add one modifier like:
Command+/Since / = pan right
He could use the Command key just to the right of the spacebar close to the forward slash.
I like your forward slash — / — suggestion because it gives the feeling of slice and presently it only has one function assigned to it.

Download this excellent .PDF, Final Cut Pro 4 Default Keyboard Set-up .
This is the best FCP keyboard map in my experience. What is really great about it is you can open it up in Mac OS X Preview or Adobe Acrobat, Command+F (Search), type a key word like mark, canvas, viewer, et al and it will take you right to the all shortcuts keys related to say like mark, mark in, mark out.
Very handy,

You should be able to export the slides a series of .TIFF’s (lossless), .JPG’s (lossey), .PNG (lossless RLE encoded), et al.
If you have iWork’06 ($79) you can import the .PPT presentation into Keynote and export it as a QuickTime file (process breaks some animation transitions).
Do a search in this forum and you will have more information than you can possibly use–search terms:

Couldn’t RandyP try pulling the matte out directly using Video Filters>Matte>Extract.
He will have to have two sequences to export, one the original logo and the other one the matte.
The other editor will use the Travel Matte Luma that you described.
