I'm looking for good consumer-grade video editing software for the Mac that is not iMovie or Final Cut Express. A long, long time ago when I was using PCs, I used Pinnacle Studio (versions 6, 7, 8, and 9) for video editing. It wasn't crazy-powerful, but it had just the right mix of features and ease of use. It was absolutely perfect for what I needed. Version 8 or 9 was the sweet spot in terms of features. After that they started adding on unnecessary bloat and cutesy interface stuff that got in the way of editing.

I'm essentially looking for something like that, but for the Mac. I can't stand iMovie '08 or '09, and I can't go back to the previous iMovie HD. Final Cut Express seems a little beyond my experience level, I think. Is there anything out there between iMovie and FCE, for people who have a little bit of experience in basic video editing and want a clean, open timeline with precise editing capabilities? Googling for 'Mac video editor' is pretty much a wasteland of crap.

Please don't tell me to just give iMovie '09 a try. I know they changed it since '08. Yes, it's better, I've used it. But it's still not what I want.
