Summary: For a person who have both Mac and PC always confuse with which one should they choose to edit video. Here I give you some suggestions avoid choosing the worse one and make edit work more smoothly.Most folks will tell you that both can do the job, and that is quite true. Almost all the video pros I know who are using this level of hardware use Macs. You can draw your own conclusion. My experience, as a non-pro who has nonetheless been doing a moderate amount of video digitizing, rendering and editing on Macs and PCs since the mid-90s, is that I can usually do the same amount of work in less time on a Mac. If you're already a pro with most of your experience on Windows boxen, your experience may be different. This depends on what editor you use.

Summary: You have both FCP and iMovie, you are confused with which is better for editing HD videos? If so, here give you the solution what you should choose.
Q: Which is better for editing HD videos, FCP or iMovie?
I recommend experimenting with both to see which best fits your needs. iMovie may be sufficient and Final Cut overkill, or the reverse may be true, iMovie too simplistic and the tools in Final Cut are needed. It also depends on what is "small videos" (I'm deducing you mean "shorts" of some sort). If: videos of family gatherings to share, iMovie will likely work for you. If: a short film for mass distribution, Final Cut.
Something you may not know about Final Cut Pro/iMovie:
As a non-linear video editing software which provides non-destructive editing of any QuickTime-compatible video format including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM (via plug-in), and 2K film formats, Final Cut Pro/iMovie made up 49% of the United States professional editing market according to a 2007 SCRI study. Such strong user group still leads to some video format incompatibility issues with Final Cut Pro/iMovie. This is why many people wonder the best video format for Final Cut Pro/iMovie so as to edit video in it at liberty. However, there are still some incompatible video formats that cannot be imported to FCP/iMovie, such like some 4K videos or high definition XAVC videos, etc.
