They have a long way to go then. Other than Kdenlive, there's nothing else on Linux.

I don't entirely agree Jack. Cinelerra has improved dramatically with the ffmpeg based GG version, although it is only available for certain distros, Flowblade is a credible alternative and so is Blender, although it's much harder work to use more than the basic effects. These are the only ones with some form of videoscope, which I deem a must for any NLE.

I suppose it depends on your requirements and preferences.

Just my two penn'orth!

Lightworks has been on Linux for a few years now and has a history of editing high end feature films.

Big difference though between the free and licensed 'Pro' versions. Although they support the same import formats, the free version exports only 'web compatible' (1280 x 720) H264:

Lightworks is freemium software, it doesn't have hardware sales to cover the costs, so the commercial aspect is aimed at 1080p and above. Licensing codecs involves costs, therefore there has to be a model to cover these.

However, Lightworks does have an extremely flexible Pro license, in that you can spend a year editing your "no budget" feature film and then take out a one month Pro subscription. Export the film on whichever digital format you want and then Liightworks reverts back to the Free version.when the month is up.
