Exactly how good are they? A few years ago I went ahead and tried every open-source video editor that I could find. Kino and Cinelera couldn't even open my video files that I had (they were DV format only). Jahshaka crashed every other minute and had the most disorganized GUI that I have ever seen. They were all so unusable that I ended up using Windows Movie Maker and an old copy of Cyberlink Power DVD for the project I had at the time. After that I bought Premiere Elements.
Things may have changed, but I didn't see a single editor that I thought was worth using as a basis for anything.
I have used Open Movie Editor on Linux, it has some drawbacks but otherwise it's a solid and well working editor. I have started to port on OS4 the dependencies it requires (
libsamplerate is the first I have ported, I'll recompile it as a shared object now that the new SDK is out), and later will try to port the application itself. The GUI uses FLTK, we already have an old port of it but all the ports of FLTK apps I have tried don't work, I have the sources from the original porter and I will try to fix it as well. I haven't set any release date yet, as this port is still in its early stages.
