How far along has Linux gotten with video editing apps?  Do we have
any really good apps that are *intuitive* and powerful?

I'd be perfectly willing to pay for good software.....

There is no such thing as intuitive software.

Yes and no. No, there is no perfectly inutitive software for everyone on
the planet. Yes, there is some software which is intuitive enough that
anyone with a decent grasp of what is to be done can get by without much
additional help.

An original definition of "intuitive".

Your reply is not helpful.  If you do not have sufficient knowledge of
the subject then perhaps silence would be the best course of action.

By the way nobody, are you really the owner of nobody.com? If not, it is
usually considered rude to use that address which could attract spam or
otherwise use resources of the mailserver at that address. It is an actual
used domain.

What exactly are you trying to do.

I use Avidemux for simple cuts.

Maniactor is supposed to be a very good commercial program but I have
never used it.

When I am dealing with dv from my camcorder I use Kino for simple edits.

There is a live cd with Cinelerra on it. From what I have read it is as
far from intuitive as you can get but extremely powerful.

And so is 127.0.0.1 smarty pants. Like just about every recipient of
your post near enough.

Side note - it was perfectly obvious to anyone wishing to help just what
the OP meant be "intuitive" - even if it does means *slightly* different
things for some clever people. As for you having no clue to what he was
talking about then you clearly missed the bit about "video editing".

I need to do fades, cut-n-spice, add background music and other basic
stuff.  Want to input AVI's from my security system and input from a
camcorder (not yet bought).

Thanks for the info ....

That is not a domain.

"Intuitive" almost always means "Works just like whatever I am already
familiar with".  If he would say what video editing software he is familiar
with someone might be able to point him toward something similar.
