A great site for all video info. Ceased to produce new content in 2007, but still has good content hanging around.
Check out the reviews before you buy, info crammed!
Tools & Downloads
 
FREE Preference Manager is a great little program to help with the task of trashing all pref files in all FCP Studio programs
FREE FCP Rescue is a great little program to help with the task of trashing all pref files, more basic than the one above. Make sure to download the program associated with your current software. When things act funky, this is one of the first things I try.
FREE From Tom Henderson. Why just use 8 point garbage mattes when you can use 50 points! Useful especially if you don't want to do this in Motion (where you should but that's ok).
FREE From Creative Cow. These 5 filters include filters to help you create: FlashFrame, Reverse Play, Fix Exposure, add VU metering, and other plugins.
FREE from pistolerapost.com. Some filters to correct your video or to make things look even more unique.
Sound/Music
 
This is a site where, after registering for free, you can explore and use remarkably well done sound files. These files cover a whole spectrum of sounds.
This is a site done by Moby where he offers his music for use in independent productions as long as they are not-for-profit.
