well, all your QT functionality IS supported when you first render to an
inbetween...
And i can see the logic in there, although i would kill for a text track
visible in FCP.
something else, your FCP stuff for tracking clips, does that rely on text
metadata inside the clips?

QT Text is ignored; QT transitions in files are ignored, QT filters in files
are ignored. QT wired sprites are ignored. Mutliple video tracks are ignored
(2nd and subsequent).
FCP supports a small subset of the greater QT functionality. Although it's
kind of a moot point (unimportant) because most of that "QT Functionality"
will go away as I really doubt Apple will bother to re-invent it as no-one
uses it much (other than us) and more can now be done with Javascript and QT
and Canvas etc than in "the old" QT.

An XML text file, and a QT movie all at the same time. :)

QT won't go, it's being "replaced" (but keep the name) with AVFoundation
from iOS. At least that's my expectation (and that the iOS frameworks have
references to 10.7 Lion)
