Best Linux Video Editing Software?

[BOBSONATOR]

Hey, guys, i use Sony Vegas 6 on XP, just wondering, is there an equivilant or better for linux?

Thanks.

Most people would say Kino, but it's a KDE native app, of course that works to your advantage if you're running KDE.

Video editing, music making, and gaming is three things i dual boot for.
There's no way _any_ video editing app in linux even comes close to the complexity, and ease of use of Sony Vegas.

If you wan't to do some serious video editing using linux, then prepare to get your hands dirty, (it can be done) but in my world it's not even worth it. Sorry. I wish it wasn't so.

Cinerella is nice, and does everything I like but it's the devil to install on ubuntu and I wish the main prgrammer wasn't so stuck up, aparently his gui is holy than thou and doesn't even want to improve his shoddy icon set with improved tango icons so it'll never look 'intergrated' or even well produced.

Fork + Gtk2 + Tango + Mencoder = Cinerella2

Kino is a GTK+ 2.0 app, NOT a KDE one.
