A video editor should simply have a clips/effects browser, a playback window, a timeline, and a menu bar, not some weird stuff like cinelerra has. Also, they should all be in one window. All those windows just crowd up the screen.
Other than that, there are Linux equivalents to pretty much everything, well, except maybe Macromedia Fireworks (well, you could use Gimp) or Flash (no Linux comparison). | There is the professional editting program Mainactor for Linux. Its a few years out of date but much nicer than anything else I've run across. There is a trial for download on their site. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=re...M5MX2xmep8yXWQ
