Re: Who would like a unified interface for FCS?

I agree with Walter, Tom and Rafael ...

[Walter Biscardi] "You would end up with a completely bloated app that featured everything in one but could not do everything well."

[Tom Wolsky] "...things would be improved with a single, integrated application? I don't think so. I would think quite the opposite is more likely to happen."

It might even be appropriate to change Walter's "everything" to "anything". And, what about the 75% of the time inside of FCP you're not working on authoring a DVD? Or, what about the people who choose to use other tools like After Effects instead of Motion? Why bog us down with a bunch of stuff we don't need and that would inevitably get in the way whether in terms of interface or resources?

[Rafael Amador] "integrate Color as a plugin to work in the time-line."
Seems to make sense since, for most, coloring isn't a task that's separate from editing the way motion graphics and DVD authoring are.

[Rafael Amador] "eliminate Compressor, as an stand alone application and I would implement a proper export option in FC/QT, instead of the crappy "QT conversion" (the only magic of Compressor, apart of the high quality filters, is that offers a bunch of presets to people unable to build their own one).

Couldn't agree more that having to go to a separate app to output your work is silly ... me thinks the last part of Rafael's comment refers to one of the many places Apple has tried to be all things to all people ... are we talking about "pro apps" or not?
