Oh yeah I use FCP and have always used an external NTSC monitor. Although I bet I could get away without one for the stuff that I do just for the web. But then again at least I know all my stuff could work in NTSC if I ever released it that way.
I just think it would be cool if FireAnt had a NTSC out the way FCP does. I don't know if that's even posible though. Just wishful thinking on my part, I guess.
