P-5.1a still has bugs and stability problems, but I MUCH
prefer its interface to an admittedly brief encounter
with Final Cut Pro (too much stuff between me and the
timeline for my taste - I preferred the more intuitive
P-5.1a solution...). Also, a new G-3 with FCP took
almost FOUR TIMES the time taken by P-5.1a/Raptor on
a 450MHz PC...! Too slow for me.
