I had to do a video for some mates in a band, and used Kdenlive for it's speed and ease of use:

I have been using Kdenlive for most of my videos for the last 3 months.

Thanks AulickAmber, I find Kdenlive easy to use, relatively speaking, it is easier asnd quicker than the likes of Sony Vegas, which is good I feel Kdenlive is a better option for working to a deadline for day to day use. It certainly is a valid option, and a reason to use Linux rather than Windows.

I would tell any newbie to video, to give Kdenlive a go, they may well be pleasantly surprised, how easy it is to use compared to the paid for opposition, yes Cyberlink and Adobe, I mean you! especially Cyberlink with your nag screens to buy additional add ons!
