I believe you’d be looking for “none”… CineForm is also a very good codec, and even though you need to purchase it separately, the pricing just came down significantly…
There is a better way…It\’s called CineForm NEO3D, http://www.cineform.com/neo3d/
Right and left eye are combined into one file (left eye in the essence, right eye in the metadata…no sync problems), and you can adjust convergence in FirstLight, as well as control exposure and primary color correction for each eye separately or together…you can load .look files (3d LUT) and any Firstlight changes are non-destructive metadata implemented by the codec.
You can also change display type…anaglyph, side by side, etc depending on what 3D display you\’re using downstream from your display card or your AJA card.
It\’s the most elegant system I\’ve seen up to this point…
I don’t know if “left in the dust” can be used on anything more than a personal level…everybody has the application that resonates with them.
FCPX looks like it has potential, but time will tell when it is released and running. Since QuickTime is being gutted and rebuilt simultaneously, It will be a substantial change.
I have to admit that background rendering is a bit of a catch-up feature as Avid and Adobe (as well as Edius and Vegas for that matter) don’t render at all. Pinnacle had background rendering 7 or 8 years ago…I’m not sure that I would have introduced it as if it was cold fusion, but I guess the users who were there liked it. However, no real assessment is possible from a keynote presentation, so we’ll wait until it’s released.
The last two versions of Media Composer have been rather impressive I’d have to say.
Editing applications simply need to fit the application and the user. Feature sets and working metaphors are individual preferences to a degree.

Premiere Pro CS5 handles RED R3D on the timeline…no converting…all the RAW demosaic controls accessible in the software…half, quarter, eighth res decode for faster response during cutting…
I just thought I’d offer that. It seems there is a lot of “work” and not much “flow” in some of the pipelines I see explained with RED footage and various applications.
So…it’s a thought.
