Getting screwed by QT, and what’s happening in QT development ahead of new FCP.

The Terence and Philip Show Episode 6 http://bit.ly/9Q31QN

The episode when Philip explains how QuickTime’s flexibility caused difficulties when imported to Final Cut Pro, which leads to a discussion on what is QuickTime; how the event-based nature of QuickTime isn’t ideal for video and what would need to change. Plus what is a framework, QTkit and what development has happened in the Cocoa-ization of QuickTime, necessary for any future Cocoa 64 bit Final Cut Pro. And a short discussion on the pleasures of Flash.

Note: Although Philip says “no QT on an iPhone” the player shows the QT icon but that’s the only thing in common with QT on OS X.
