Apparently Final Cut Pro won't directly import AAC. I had to use QT Pro to convert to aif first.

Not a huge deal, but still an annoyance that could be easily fixed.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

It's also annoying that FCP won't use MP3 files very nicely.

You have to keep in mind that Final Cut is a professional product. AAC and MP3 are far from professional standards.

use QT Pro to convert the files to AIFF

Last time I talked to a developer working on FCP (just prior to the release of FCP 4) they told me that they had no intention of ever adding that functionality.
