Let me tell you, Final Cut is the most un-intuitive frustrating piece of software out there. I usually catch on to things fairly quickly, but FCE has just kicked my a## forever.
Until now.
I have found Izzy the Videomaker who also has made Final Cut Express tutorials. He is an excellent teacher and even has a zip file with the same thing he's working on in the tutorial so you can follow along. Highly HIGHLY recommended.
