I'm trying to get something similar to the 24 effect on the show "24" starring Keifer Sutherland. Does anybody know how to achieve that in FCP HD?

If so, I can't recall which magazine it was, but some magazine that was on the newsstand in January had exactly that tutorial. I seem to remember that it was a UK publication (and was around $15 or so, which is why I didn't buy it) and it had How-To columns for Motion, FCP, etc.
Can anyone help me out here?

1. Lay down the 4 separate clips you want to use on V1-V4
2. Starting on V4, double click on a video track in the timeline so that it opens up in the viewer window.
3. Go to the "motion" tab. Under "basic motion" use "scale" to resize your to the size you want it. You can also use the "crop" section to trim off any parts of the picture you don't want to be seen.
4. In the Canvas window turn on "image+wireframe" (I don't remember which option this is under off the top of my head) and you'll be able to drag the now shrunken video image around the Canvas window.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 for each video layer.
**EDIT** Whoops, forgot a small step.

No, its for Final Cut Pro(that is what fcp is isnt it)
I doubt you could do it in iMovie HD. Looks too complicated.
