I wish it could handle more than 10% of QT files. In reality FCP only handles QT files that are video files. That's about 10% of the (current and soon to be gone) QT capability.

You can edit with L&T proxies and then media manage after editorial. I've done that with RED material.
To be clear: I know AMA allows immediate editing but the recommendation from Terry, and others, is to use AMA to make selects and transcode those to DNxHD before editing. To me that's so close to L&T, where you make selects and transcode before editing, that I'm just not seeing the difference - for the recommended workflow.
To be further clear. I know that FCP/L&T doesn't allow any editing before transcoding and AMA does, but people are recommending against that unless it's a very short and quick turn job.
