We stopped by CompUSA, and picked up Final Cut Express. It’s not hard to see why it’s such a popular program. The most used work paths have been carefully smoothed to be hyper-efficient. It’s not as intuitive as iMovie is, but I picked it up very quickly. The included DVD showing how to use it was very useful.

Here’s my first test video clip made with Final Cut Express using video from our first trip to Europe: Monte-Tobogganing in Funchal, Portugal (5megs).
