Post-production troubles

I had a bit of trouble with the post-production work for this project when it came to the editing. I do not like the programme: Final Cut Pro. It's hard to use and doesn't do what I tell it to. I tried to upload the footage and it just seperated it the way it wanted to and not the way I told it to. It's proving to be very difficult and it's take about 3 hours just load the footage properly.
