Our video editing objectives and styles are very different. I edited this one in about 20 minutes, including a loop in the music track and blending natural sound in and out: <a href="http://www.roblimo.com/node/200" title="roblimo.com">Stick Out Your Can</a roblimo.com>.
I use this video as a fair comparison because it, like yours, was shot "on the fly" (and in my case on the spur of the moment) with a hand-held camera, and has simple, static titling.
Some of what I do is much more involved. Mixing multiple sound tracks takes time. Ditto creating animated titles. And remember, clarity of rendered output is important, too, and is an area where Cinelerra -- at least for me -- consistently falls short compared to the professional-quality video tools I use, although it is about as good as most consumer video editing programs. We won't even talk about chroma-key and other compositing tasks. That's a whole separate reality. Let's not go there.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)
Note that I happily use open source software for everything I do aside from video, including The GIMP for graphics work and OpenOffice.org for all my document-handling, spreadsheets, and slide presentations.
You and I have different video production objectives. Cinelerra is fine for what you do, but needs a *lot* of work (and not just on the interface) to do what I need.
