NItris DX v. 3.5.9.7 title tool “Bug”

After creating a title through title tool, and then placing said title in a sequence (either by itself or as an upper video layer): when opening up that title via title tool (in effects mode), the background layer (if there is one) reverts to a small one-quarter-size-screen in the upper-left portion of the title tool workspace.
AND (we found this out by trial and error)….If the title tool button (“V”) isn’t clicked twice after opening the title in effects mode, as soon as you click on the BOTTOM HALF of the title tool screen (for whatever reason) an application error appears and app freezes.
 
This does not appear to be: settings-related, specific font-related, or Interplay-related. The saame thing happens with Marquee title tool titles.
Our workflow,though is through title tool.

We're running symphony Nitris 3.5.9.7 and Interplay. This "bug" did NOT occur with our eralier version of DX (3.5.4.1.1). We sent a "black box " with the enclosed app error and bug into Avid and are awaiting a resolution. Our workaround,as noted,is to double click "V" when in title tool. The background (if there IS one) p[ops back up full-raster…and clicking in the title tool workspace is not a problem. But if the editor forgets to double click "V"…app error and crash.
Anyone seen this before?

Importing FCP files to MC

I have been using the MC trial and have tried to import files captured with FCP. I have noticed that MC takes a long time to import the files.  These are .mov recorded in standard definition. I believe that MC is transcoding these files. Is this normal or should MC recognize the Quicktime files? Thanks in advance.
