Re: [FCP-L] Ajaxian » Apple goes live with HTML5 video

Putting QT and FLASH in the same boat is rather silly, I'd say. QT is
FAR more than just what you see on the web and I have no idea how
HTML5 of all things is supposed to "kill" QT.

I like to think that QuickTime X is like what iMovie 7 was, more
something of a "technology preview" than an actual usable tool thru
and thru. And now iMovie 8 even has features that I would LOVE to have
in FCP!

Once all the current tools have seen the next big update (I see FCS3
more as an alibi-update than anything else), it's gonna be kick-ass...
with the usual crinkles, sure. Not PERFECT, but what the hell IS, right?

cheers,
RK
