Hi Zach,

I don’t remember having much trouble installing it – fairly straightforward. Once you start working with it, you may need to make adjustments to the default settings, like real-time rendering quality and which drive to render/save video to, depending on the type of video you are working with, how many layers, size of files, speed of your Mac, etc. I wound up keeping the real-time preview quality at lowest setting, plus I bought an external drive (500GB) to use for the raw video and render files. Maybe the rumor you heard was for the Pro version, but the Express version should install fairly easily.

Thanks for the comment and glad you liked my video!

Greg

I heard a rumor that this program was incredibly hard to install. Please let me know if there is any truth to this or I’ll just get a new computer with it pre-installed.

-Thanks

(BTW nice video)

Hi Victoria,

Sorry it took a while to get back to you… been busy with the holidays and all dat… Thanks for your comments!

Yeah, the new imovie is weird and not as good as the older version, where you could easily add audio tracks.

Final Cut Express lets you add as many audio tracks as you need. I created my own music video with it (the one on my blog), and it was easy to add audio tracks and sync the video to it. FCE is a very professional program so it may take you some time to learn compared to imovie, but you can do some amazing things with it once you learn the basics.

You can also edit AVCHD video with it, but you need one of the newer Macs with the Intel processor to do this (if your Mac is new, then it’s most likely got the Intel chip).

Here’s the page on apple.com about FCE for more info: http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/

Hope this helps.

Take care and good luck with your video!

Greg
