Wes Plate’s response at the Avid pasture is good enough for me.

Where is your quote from?
I double checked with our experienced Post Manager, who confirmed that to his knowledge, Avid is NOT QT based, but does use QT on the Mac for display purposes. FWIW, I’ve been able to stop the QT process in XP, and XPressPro runs fine.
In any case, I’ve referred this to the COW Avid forum for their input.

[Carl] “Avid runs on quicktime.”
I don’t believe so.
Upon import a QT file is converted to an Avid omf file.

[Brian SaenzDeViteri] “and since Avid runs on Quicktime, it might just be a Quicktime thing.”
I assume you meant Apple (FCP).

[StuS57] “I’m reading FCP for Avid editors by Diana Weynand, probably buy some training media as well”
Is the included training media with the book not working for you? As Mark says, Diana and her group do a great job of training.

[walter biscardi] “If you own a Dual 2.7 there’s no reason for you to purchase a Kona 3, it’s essentially the same card, but supporting the new PCIe machines.”
Walter – In addition to the new keying features, doesn’t the new card add hardware support for additional HD formats?

Others have commented on DV keying solutions. While the following isn’t a solution to your keying issues, one other thing to remember – DON’T render the file in Motion. It’s better to import the Motion (or LiveType if using that) project into FCP and render within FCP. The Motion (or LiveType) clip can then be opened from within FCP (bin or timeline) for additional adjustments, saved, and the new changes will appear in FCP (sorta like edit/combusiton but a little different).

[Pete] “The day I spent my $ on the iMac I asked the Apple Store Mgr. “any chance of a better laptop being unvieled by Jobs next month”. “No, definitlet not, I’d know if there was even a hint”, that was his reply.”
I’m sorry, but one or both of you guys have had your head in the sand for the last couple of months. It was pretty common knowledge (at least on all the major news sites on the web) that Intel transition was FAR ahead of schedule, and that there would be new products announced at MacWorld.
As someone who’s also been chomping at the bit for an IMac I’m honestly not gloating, but would you really buy something a week before NAB? Why would you do that with MacWorld? In any case, I have no doubt that after I buy an IMac, a few months later Apple will finally add Fire800 capabilities, or something that I’ll really want but don’t have. Enjoy what you bought – it’s not like it became obsolete today…Finally, do you actually think things would be different if you owned PC hardware and software?

[eda] “An Avid WILL scroll the waveform in the timeline to follow the playhead indicator, if you have that option turned on”
First, I’m aware of what Avid will and will not do. The method you mention is NOT a substitute for a waveform in the source viewer – it is a workaround.
Second, don/t be so defensive. Just because a feature exists in another NLE and not in Avid doesn’t mean I’m suggesting Avid is terrible. It just means that just possibly a specified feature might be useful in Avid as well.
Third, I like Avid, but it is getting long in the tooth by not incorporating some long needed features.
