No. That's why it's E and not P. E just handles DV. Not many differences between Express and Pro for the casual user - but that's one of them. Since you don't need the full power of the latest Final Cut Studio, you could try to get hold of a second hand copy of an earlier version of FCP. Also, I understand that (shockingly) some people actually use illegal pirate copies of FCP4 or 3 or 2 all of which do most of the things that FCE does and more. R

Overall its similar to how I would be using Premier Elements on the PC, however there is one big problem with FCE and I'm hoping someone here can offer a solution. Note: I also got the "One To One" training thing from the apple store, and have at one such session asked about this. The guy - although he did try admirably to find a way to do it - ended up saying "well I guess you can only do that in Final Cut Pro" (FCP). Here's the thing ... In FCE, you have these "easy setup" options. They setup the project with settings such as: 720x480 NTSC. In FCP, you can apparently create your own "custom" setup profiles. In FCE ... I can't find a way to do that. My digital still camera saves to 320x240 (square pixel). I'd like to find a way to setup the FCE project/workspace for these settings as needed. Isn't there a way to tell FCE, that I'm working on a 320x240 project?! I hope I dont have to spend $1300 just for the ability to set the size of my videos ... that's just crazy talk ... surely apple/mac doesn't claim the creative higher ground if this is the case.
