Professional editors tell me, it is a life long learning process ... 😉
FC/e is no consumer toy, as iMovie. And, indeed, 80% of its fantastic features can not be found by clicking here, clicking there.
As most of us here, I would recommend to purchase a book of FinalCut Mastermind *TOM WOLSKY* (who participates here), he explains very hands-on, in a non-techie tone, how to wrestle that beast.
First steps are hard, but after a few hours you should be able to understand the concept of that app, the basics.
I made the mistake, after being for 6 years a die-hard iMovie user, to start with the obligatory wedding-video, a 2h master piece. after 3 months of 'work' and frustration, I trashed it, got totally lost. learned the app - now, me happy. (the wedding video was finished by a professional editor)
A word about Tom's writing style: English is not my native tongue, so, I when I say, it is easy to understand, you should either ... 🙂
