Is there somewhere I can download the manuals for the programs on final cut studio 2?

There is a link on the menu in every application, that will lead you to its manual. It is the same text in the same layout as the printed manuals that come with the discs.

On the installation disc there is also a folder, that contains all the manuals. I think it's called documentation and is part of the extras folder.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Hope this helps!

Maybe these Apple tutorials might help:
