This sentence here? This breaks my heart. I was so excited: a vidder who uses Linux! But not for vidding, I guess. I've been trying to find someone to help me get video editing to work on my machine, but I'm starting to think it involves mystic chants and initiation into a secret brotherhood...
I can only imagine how frustrating that must be! Every bit of vidding how-to I've ever seen assumes either Windows or Mac software.
Clicking around, there are a couple of non-linear video editing programs for Linux. Cinnelerra might be your best bet for a powerful non-linear editor, and AviDemux seems like a good program for getting source into a format you can edit.
The biggest challenge, as you say, is finding someone to help you get it all to work. Not many people have used Linux for vidding, as far as I can tell. Perhaps you can be a pioneer!
