Q. Also I've heard they go hand in hand as well sort of. How is that? Also what are the best video editing Softwares for the Mac? I hear final cut studio is but is there anything better out there that's under $500 for an iMovie wiz? Thanks guys haha
A. Motion is used to create and edit motion graphics, titling for video production and film production, and 2D and 3D compositing for visual effects. Final Cut Pro is professional video editing software. Basic film cutting / editing is done in Final Cut Pro. Special tasks related to effects are handled by Motion. For a couple of years, Motion was included with FCP.
You don't need this stuff. You are not making a Hollywood movie or a Superbowl commercial. For home movies made on a $200 camcorder that you can operate with one hand tied behind you, iMovie is all you need.
"is there anything better out there that's under $500 for an iMovie wiz?"
There is nothing better out there. End of sentence. 49% of Hollywood editors use Final Cut Pro. Second place goes to Avid Media Composer with 22%.

How can I watch my imported videos from my camera on my mac book?
Q. I'm needing to edit a movie I final cut and for some reason the videos I imported from my camera can only be watched on iMovie. iMovie is a pain in the ass, so how can I use the clips as videos for final cut.
A. Hi Clark:
You've been around Y!A long enough to know that the more details you give us, the better we can answer.
First, what brand & model # camera or camcorder do you have? Or are you referring to the iSight webcam ON your MacBook? [Makes a big difference as to file format and video-importing into FCP.] And which model MacBook (some don't have FireWire) and which versions of FCP & iMovie you have is also important to know. [iMovie has gone through major changes since v6, and I've heard nothing but complaints about FCP X.]
Some versions of FCP can only import camera footage via FireWire. And if you haven't updated your QuickTime version lately, you might not handle HD video properly.
Give us the file extensions for the video clips you currently have on your Mac's hard drive, and if they are in HD, add what resolution & frame-rate (e.g., 720p @30fps, etc.) they were shot at.
Hopefully you know the "Additional Details" drill: mouse-over "Edit" on the Action Bar, click the link & type away.
I'll look for an update, and post one myself.
hope this helps,
