Final Cut Express HD 3.5 from a Newbie, 2008-02-09 Apple Final Cut Express HD 3.5 (Mac)
I am a newbie to both Apple computers and Apple software. With FCE 3.5 I have a real love/hate relationship going on here. This is probably the most frustrating software that I have ever tried to learn, but when the results come out, they are fantastic. If you want to quickly piece together a fun little video with just a few transitions, then use iDVD. If you enjoy working your tail off and feeling a REAL sense of accomplishment at making a small step, then this is the software for you.
By the way, many of you will have noticed that you can get the newest FCE 4 at nearly the same price as FCE HD 3.5. You should be aware that FCE 4 does NOT have Soundtrack included nor does it have all of the features of LiveType 2. (Nearly 9 gigs is missing!) For the price difference I chose 3.5.
I am still learning this, but I have no doubts that I will become proficient in its use. Besides, I have an ace in the hole. Tom Wolsky has many books out on Final Cut. He is also a regular on the Apple Support forums. There is not any question that he cannot answer about Final Cut.
Also you should purchase a mini/dv camera with firewire output. USB ain't gonna cut it with Final Cut Express.
Hope this helps.
Pete
