     My favorite feature of Final Cut Pro, after messing with it for just a
few minutes, is the fact that you can jog your way through a video without
having to reset the cursor- just reset the ball of the mouse and keep holding
the button. This is highly intuitive once you do it and I found myself
actually trying to figure out why this was so easier... it was that intuitive.
     I haven't been able to play with it for long, but it reminds me of the
first time I used the Mac.

     Now if Apple can only realize the goof they made with the interface
change in QT-4, and make it look like QT-3 (i.e. the rest of the Mac
interface) things would be much better.

     Don't I recall correctly that one of the features of QT-3 was realtime
color correction? I know Terran was starting to offer a product that did
this, but what ever became of this functionality?
