Final Cut blues: crawling back to iMovie (for now…)

After some weeks of tinkering with Final Cut and being amazed and dazzled with its capability, I’m - only for the short-term - returning to iMovie and here’s why:

GRATIFICATION WITHDRAWAL!

Santa is disappointed too.

Yep - Final Cut is absolutely amazing and in-depth but it’s darned humbling!

No matter what I do in Final Cut, it looks like ‘The Suck’ (…as my man is known to say). I’ve ripped up footage, mis-aligned audio, and haven’t posted project-related clips on the blog in for-ev-ah (despite interviewing folks on a regular, fantastically fun basis e.g. footage is ready to fly!).

I fear this means I’m impatient in learning this. Ok! But the truth is, methinks learning in a collaborative environment with this may be useful. Or is that wimpy?

What’s your Final Cut (Express or Pro) learning-curve experience?!
