Hi Adrian I know exactly what you mean...FCE had me stumped when I first got it... (many editions ago)
The book 'Final Cut Express Editing Workshop' by Tom Wolsky got me through the initial phase and from there on I built my knowledge through basic experience. I think the book's still in print and relevant to the current edition. It sure ain't iMovie but it's a very powerful program. There are also some free videos on the apple site. In the end, good movie-making is about the story and the flow, not the clever effects.
