There are many good video editors on the market and many of you no doubt have your favorite. What about the Linux user? Is there a comparable product that can allow a Linux desktop user to edit and produce video?

There is and it's called Kino. Kino is a non-linear digital video editor for Gnu/Linux and it's a very good product. I've used it on Fedora, Centos and most recently Ubuntu. It captures video in RawDV and AVI format in both Type 1 and Type 2 DV. It can export in a large number of formats including Raw DV, DV AVI, still frames, WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4. It can import and export still frames. I prefer it to the commercial products I've used because of the formats it can export. My use of Kino has been primarily for home video. This summer I discovered that Kino offers an integrated video publishing interface to the Blip TV video site.
