Oh! You are me, only me nearly three months ago! Since I have just been through learning how to do this stuff, using FCE, please feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I can't guarentee I'll be able to answer them, but I can try. :) (O, and one thing that would have made my life easier if I'd known about it before: Apple editing software works in DV footage. It accepts other footage, but it's optimised for DV. Happily, it is possible to rip in dv through MPEG streamclip (and probably other programs too). You can then preview your clips and many effects without needing to render them first, which takes time. When you first create your project, select the widescreen option as appropriate and then choose either PAL or NCST as appriate and create your dv files in that format.) mac_vidding_101 is also very handy. :)
