I like FCP's quick import of media, but it does introduce the problem of organisation. After one long drawn out project earlier this year I was left with various elements in a range of different places, it was a pain to try and tidy it all up to backup. This is a much much better solution.<br/><br/>I'd like to see something can go the other way well, look at an FCP project and gather all the imported media elements into one place sensibly.

Kudos for the DH team for not only having such a good idea but for turning that idea into something that looks so nice to work with! They've done a bang up job with this one, and the price point is excellent.<br/><br/>For what its worth tho ... it doesn't automatically copy stuff to your Capture Scratch as it doesn't (and can't) know where that is. You have to specify the "media destination" folder before you start using it.<br/>I really wish Apple would address that, either directly in their XML support (with a an import option flag to copy the import media to the Capture Scratch) or by putting the Capture Scratch info into a unencoded plist preference file so that developers can access it.
