Just a little sticky to let you all know this forum has an extremely useful search function at the top of the page.
If you want to find a quick answer or solution, chances are we will have covered it before, so it'll usually be quicker to do a quick search for the subject rather than sit and wait for a reply from another member.
Usual questions are stuff like speeding up clips (type 'Velocity Envelope') splitting clips, applying effects, keyframing etc. Mostly it's all been covered before, so have a look first.... nothing to lose!
If you can't find it, ask away, we're here to help!
EDIT - Will start adding links to commonly asked questions and the answering threads as I think of them. Feel free to PM me with additions.
