There is something named Jahshaka that has glanced my interest.
I've no personal experience with it though.....
I occasionally use my computer to do edits of video and would also
be interested in a linux solution that just works. For the moment, I
use adobe premiere since it mostly "just works" I need to be able
to concentrate on my content and not get distracted by quirks of the
the tools.
