[Question] Final Cut Express

I am wondering if it is possible to use final cut express to work on projects without any footage. basically like making an intro using a mix of sounds, images, cool effects, and maybe downloadable commonly used snippets of visual. Does the program offer the ability to do such a thing or is it solely for editing film. If my question is unclear please tell me.

 

Yes, i think the new final cut express has been altered to change it pricing to 200$ from the last years 300$. So correct me if im wrong but those extras were taken out. That is one of the reason i am asking this is because without extras like that it seems like the program is solely to edit film and not so much for amazing introductions and the such.

 

Alright, i am looking to start soft mainly with simple things such as what would be previews to something. Before i dive into anything big. Now as i see from apples website you have the choice of final cut express or final cut studio. Studio is far more than i need at this time. So i am wondering if express can do much. I do not have any footage or film to work with so i would be making mainly intros and stuff. as an example the name of something flying through space around planets and then exploding. No thats not something i would be doing but an example of what i would be looking for if it helps.

 

sadly i think that was the answer i more expected / is looking for. I knew i could not do what i was looking for simply with that one program but i needed someone who know there stuff to assure me on it. Thanks for telling me I really appreciate all your help guys.
