[Frameworks] FInal Cut Pro X

[Alistair Stray]

Most media programs can open Quicktime, also plenty of other programs can open photoshop psd files. Quicktime is a container format though, the actual codec it can contain may differ, and Apple have in the past not made some codecs available to non-apple hardware. As Freya says Avids DNxHD codec is the way to go. Yep, Premiere can open FCP projects, I did it last week.

Deco,

Thanks for the quick answers, but not every media program can open  
Quicktime, right? Is this open source, or does anyone who wants to  
incorporate it have to pay a royalty to Apple? If the latter, I would  
be very suspicious. I thought avi was more open.

I thought Apple has said that FCP X is not compatible with FCP 7,  
hence no importability. Are they actually planning to issue a  
converter? Won't there be losses in the conversion?

Of course I know about PhotoShop's proprietary format, and others that  
other programs create, such as cpt. This is why I save final files as  
tifs.
