Dan, FCP really isn't too bad once you've got to grips with the basic keys (A, B and N basically). The biggest faff when you're starting out is getting your head round how it deals with the media - that's a different thread though :-D
Thanks dude, if you can excuse the slightly poor cable routing on a few of the shots haha - had to set them up in like 5mins. Hopefully will be coming in March if funds allow! MIGHT have my new Sony Z5 by then so I'll bring it along if I have it get some nice footage!
I found Final Cut Pro to be way easier than anything made for Windows. Basically once you've logged footage its a case of double clicking clips, trimming the in and out points, putting them on the timeline, dragging and dropping any correcting filters you want/transitions, and double clicking on them on the timeline once more to alter settings.
