Thank you, Shane. I am a "reading" kinda guy, so I've installed FCE but not opened it (until I've read at least part of the book) and glanced at the online manual. But I will take your advice and look at the tutorials. I never even tried iMovie08 -- is 09 any better?
I thought iMovie HD (06) was a pretty good program, except for the lack of audio possibilities (can't even monitor one track while you attempt to dub another, that's lame!). You probably don't remember, but do you recommend any particular tutorial to start?
Thanks again,
david
