Is there a way to separate the audio and the video in footage? It would be very helpful if I knew how. Thanks.

when in the timeline of FCE, select the imported footage on the timeline,
and uncheck the link selection button at the end of the timeline...
( I have FCS, but I assume it is the same for FCE...)
this seperates the audio and the video."Everyone has to learn, so that they can one day teach."

OK, that worked. Now I have two more questions...
1) How can I fade in and out of black with the video clips?
2) When I put a different audio track to a video track, the audio is crackly and skips. How do I fix this? -
#2. How was the audio recorded? Meaning, outside of FCP,
does the audio play the same in Quicktime Player or iTunes?
You could use an audio editor ( my choice, Amadeus II) that
you could apply pop filters, denoise filters, and try and fix it.
Then, re-import it back into FCE.
#1 Fades are easy.
First create a Photoshop .jpg image of full black, 720 x 480 @72dpi
(720 x 576 272 dpi for PAL) and import that into FCE.
then, place the .jpg at the end of the clip.
Select the end of the video where it meets the .jpg,
and right click ( option click if you do not have a 2 button mouse)
and select Video Transition-->Dissolve-->Cross Fade*
and the video will dissolve into the black .jpg.
Adjust the length of the cross fade for longer or
shorter dissolve time.
(*might be slightly different between FCE and FCP)"Everyone has to learn, so that they can one day teach."

Since it plays fine in iTunes, and not in the FCE timeline,
I would suggest taking the file into an audio editor
( again Amadeus II is my choice, but the free Audacity should
also work) and play it there. If it plays fine, export-->AIFF
(16kbps, minimum of 44.1 khz) and then re-import that
into FCE.
Play it then in FCE, and if it plays fine, replace
your problem audio with this new audio."Everyone has to learn, so that they can one day teach."

STFM for FCP / FCE......
mrswlais correct, but to expedite things and because
i usually have PS open along with FCP, it's natural
for me to bounce a black jpeg in when needed.
*shrugs* either way works...."Everyone has to learn, so that they can one day teach."
