Im new to the entire editing side. Never owned a camera but have always been interested in this. I would like to give final cut a shot and maybe play with Motion as well, I just have no footage to use. Can anyone send me something just so I could maybe play around with???

Thanks
 
Open iMovie, and import from the iSight camera. (File-->Import From Camera...)

A Google search may find some samples, but I don't know of any off hand.
 
A very good question to which I will provide a very good answer. :) If you want to do something interesting, you can get all sorts of public domain and freely downloadable files on-line. Google Video has some NASA archival stuff. Then there are PD videos all around. Have a look around.

I'll get you started:
