Thank you for posting this lesson. I have been searching the internet, trying to find out how to use Final Cut Express. I find the user manual a little hard to understand. You have made it clear on how to start editing a video. Can you do a video explaining how to add different titles and transitions to the movie. I really want to start using my version of Final Cut but I can't get how to do titles!!! argh!!!
Great lesson, very easy to follow...I'm keeping my eye out for part two :)

Thank you so much. I had my system for a month and could perform anything. I have Final Cut Express 4. Is there a big difference from HD? If you have an online class, I would like to sign up for it, or is there a book you recommend that is user friend
