Mac Newbie here and I just purchased a Vixia HF10 HD Dual Flash Memory Camcorder. I want to do some amateurish video editing, but I've heard that Premiere CS3 is easier to learn than Final Cut Pro....any suggestions for which program to get? Any pros or cons for each would greatly be appreciated.

If you are able to figure out Premiere you can figure out FCP and FCE with ease.

plus they don't make Premiere for OSX anymore since apple has taken over in that department.

Actually they do produce Premiere for OS X. They added it back sometime last year.

OP. If you are doing amateurish editing, start with iMovie or Fiinal Cut Express. You other options are much more expensive.
