You installed FCP 6 on a completely unsupported OS and unsupported QT version. Check back a few months on my article on why that is a very, very bad idea. Upgrade to FC Studio to a version that's actually been tested with Snow Leopard and the new QTkit architecture. Not surprising that it didn't go smoothly. Bottom line: NEVER install FCP on any OS and QT version that is not listed in the approved configurations for that version of FCP. Of course, if it's just a hobby and you like experimenting and living dangerously, then by all means experiment. The rest of us can learn. Unsupported configurations are not for the professional. :) You did what? You installed FCP 6 on a completely unsupported OS and unsupported QT version.

Just wanted to note that, despite what's supposed to happen, a Snow Leopard installation doesn't always detect that Pro Apps are present and automatically keep QT7 (in applications>utilities). At least that was my experience on my macbook pro with FCP6. I had to go back and manually reinstall QT7 from the SL installation disk (a simple enough procedure). Interesting article, Philip.
