      I have Final Cut but it's bulky and IMO very annoying to use :D
      Any suggestions on something lightweight for OS X?

      OMG never again,it runs like a dinosaur.
      I suppose I could give it a go again it's just after accidentally letterboxing something in college and it giving me a time estimate of 2 days (the computers were a bit slow) I've tried to stay clear...
      Is there anything else or is iMovie the best for a Mac?

      Have to say, I use it all the time and don't have any problems with it, unless I am doing something huge or complex.

      I also use Mpeg Streamclip for super simple stuff.

      Well, a quick google throws up ZS4 as the best alternative... i have no experience with it though.

      I'm intrigued though, think I will download it tonight and see how quick/ easy it is to use.

      Sorry about the last post, spelling disaster!

      If you get there before me let me know what you think! I'm looking for something a bit more precise like Final Cut, without the CPU hogging :)

      Well, that would be perfect for me too, I have alot of editing to do quick and my 4 year old mac book pro can't handle the strain of final cut.

      So I will tell you if you tell me :)
