    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 :)
