kdenlive. As i just posted to lwn.net...
I've been lamenting the same thing for years... I don't need to do Hollywood effects, I just want a simple timeline to dump images, video, and sound. If it can handle a huge number of formats, that's a bonus. Something along the same lines as audacity in the audio realm (as opposed to the more powerful and more complex ardour).
kino has been solid for years (the 90s?) and so has firewire for me. But for editing, it just doesn't cut it... Cinelerra has always been crashy for me and the interface makes me want to run. Jahshaka looks "interesting", but I just don't get it (though it has done a lot of good work on underlying libraries apparently). LiVES and others are more geared for vjaying. Pitivi has "cutting" on it's TODO list... KDEnlive, looked good, but I haven't checked it out in awhile.
Until today. I grabbed SVN, dumped in some fotos, dropped in an mp3 file, an mpeg4 video, export timeline to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.vob and guess what? It's working. And it even has a sensible interface. At last!
