How about kdenlive or cinelerra? I've been working a bit with kdelive
and it seems pretty straightforward and even usable ;)

I recently upgraded my mother's computer to 10.04 and now her Dell

HI there..
I just want to "share" my experiences with Os´s..
I started in the nineties with a windows machine, I tried 95, 98,
millenium, nt, xp.... It hanged really frequently (20 times in a day w cad software..) so
I assumed that as a normal function state from the machine..At some point I tried beOS and I found it great but I couldn´t do
anything w it..years later, I discovered that computers with the fruit thing and I
was really amazed, not just because of the stabilty (but still one
or two hangs per day with os 9.2), also because I could do audio in
real-time with them.. (well, coming from that windows nightmare,
even a gameboy was fascinating..)Then I got one.. and until the day, I´ve been using all the Os´s and
also tried almost all the hardware that was/is in the market.My experience with linux (about 4 years ago, ethic/curiosity )
started very slow, but definitely in an ascendent curve of
satisfaction & admiration..Nowadays to code and to travel, I use a small thinkpad with ubuntu
10 and the experience is just fantastic.. It´s actually so good
that I´m starting to hate all the mac shits.. Because when you
know where linux cames from and who works on it, you can understand
that sometimes you have to put energy on your side to look for a
driver or whatever (Not the case at all w ubu 10).What I can´t understand.... Is that this big companies (micr/appl)
with hundred or "thousands" of good programmers working for them,
are still doing crap... (seems that they are focusing energies in
making money & trying to protect his soft/hard instead of making
good code...)yesterday I formatted my mac and I installed the last system
(10.6 ). There´s a known bug on it that not just doesn´t connect
to internet, it also keeps sending packets to the router until the
router stops working,,,, (???).I had to reset the router from the linux and download one by one the
system updates for the mac. This bug is known since 10.6.0, I
already have the 10.6.4 and the bug it´s still not solved
completely.,.. (???????)This just shows that It doesn´t matter how many hundreds of related
posts you do in the official apple forums & related.. apple just don ´t give a shit about the problems of the users.... (specially if
your hardware it´s not brand new...).The ubuntu forums are far more clear and helpful than that,,
About windows, I will not complain anymore... (not neccesary), but
I still "understand" people that uses it, because there´s people
that doesn´t care about computers (even when they are working w
them..)what I do, when I´m teaching a workshop Is to carry one or two usb
sticks with a live distro (pure dyne / openartist ) and invite the
people to try a "truly" operative system..many of my friends, they have switched to Linux (at least
partially..) and they are happy w it.. (that makes me happy too..).If the trajectories of the operative systems evolutions follow as
they are already, It wouldn´t sound strange to me that in some
years, the amount of linux users (pure or mixed) will increase
massively.To finish, I would just like to thank to all the linux developers /
contributors for his hard work to make this incredibly operative
system.
