Here's a question I had while trying to edit my Monster Bash videos.

What's the best/easiest to use w a Mac?

I tried to use iMovie, but it wouldn't let me import the raw GoPro files. I ended up loading the files to my iPad, then using iMovie on the iPad to edit. I'd like to speed up more the 2x, then slow back to normal speed (kinda like how you could with a VCR), fade and add music to the audio in the video.

I'm far from a pro, and need something pretty simple.

I've heard about final cut, and I'm sure there are other options too.
