I am a realtivley new (okay brand new) Mac user. I only got it 3 days ago. I am looking for a video editing program that is more powerful then the iWork '06 one, but less powerful/expensive then the Final Cut .

I am running a Macbook Pro
1.83 ghz processor
1GB of RAM
And 120 GB hard drive

Try Quicktime Pro ($30 from Apple) or iMovie, it came with your computer.

Final Cut Express isn't as daunting as FC Pro, but it's a bit more robust than iMovie. Enjoy.

I would think iMovie would do just fine, unless you are into professional edditing for a company.

FC express is not universal and will not even run on intels (from what i hear)

pllay around a little more with imovie. for my last project i used that instead of final cut

I just bought this G4 with OS X-10.4 Tiger. I can's seem to find iMovie! It should have it right?

I was using IMOVIE for a couple months till I got used to it. When I sensed that It wasnt enough for me, I purchased Final cut Express. Its very inexpensive through the Universities purchased with a student discount. Im still not using it to its fullest extent yet, but I did think IMOVIE is a good starter for the beginner.
