I am running a Macbook Pro

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.

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.
