For those who use this program here are a few questions: 1) is it easy to use the interface compared to imovie 3? 2) Can you project the image using an old LCD that only shoots 800x600.(imovie 3 only allows 1024x768)

Im sick of the imovie3 "unexpected quit" problem and can get the final cut express for 124 educational discount.

Wrong forum. Should be in software.

In answer to your question, Final Cut Express is easy to use but slightly harder than iMovie. I'd recommend you get a book if you have difficulties. Apple has done a good job of making it easy to use yet powerful.

2) Can you project the image using an old LCD that only shoots 800x600.(imovie 3 only allows 1024x768)
Can you clarify what you mean? You can't project an image using an LCD

Not sure about the project an image question, but yeah, it's fairly easy to use, but it's also a different world from iMovie. Mine came with an instructional DVD, which helped an awful lot, I'm not really the manual type.

sorry about the wrong forum --i skimmed the reading and posted in wrong section --to answer you --can FCE project an 800x600 image (that is the max the old lcd projector i have can produce) b/c imovie3 can not. If that is the case then I need to look into getting a new lcd projector.

I just set my screen to 800x600 and launched FCE. I didn't hook the camera up, and it launched, but the window sizes were all out of whack. I suppose you could resize them. At least it runs in that res, I think that it's been reported that iMovie won't even launch. Good Luck.

that is correct --imovie 3 will not even launch when you have a projector that throws a 800x600 image. I sure hoe that FCE does
