Final Cut/Aperture Guides?

[Metalface Mark]

Can anyone recommend any good reading material to get the best out of these two programs?

Im keen to get involved in making some videos and utilising aperture properly, at the moment Ive bought aperture and have the final cut trial, its obviously an expensive bit of software and I dont know if i need it over imovie for what im doing, but Id like to find out a bit more.

I couldnt get my head around Final Cut at all when I tried it, I tried to mix a clip together the same way I would with imovie but found it pretty hard to do.

I guess Ill do that the next time I make one, stick on a guide and see, I need to do it sharpish while I have the 30 day trial though.
