That's great to hear! Looks like we should write up something on video editing as these are things that a lot of people might be interested in doing in this day and age. I will check out pritvi for myself and see how it compares.

I was extremely impressed by the positive evolution of the FOSS video
editors. Not just in how they work, but in the better understanding
that the developers seem to now have of how video creators work.
As Paul mentioned, http://www.pitivi.org/ is probably the most
promising project that works right now. Edward, the main developer,
is extremely open to feedback and understands that usability is the
biggest challenge. It's all being built on Gstreamer.
We also had a good long talk with one of the developers from VLC. He
showed us a video editor they are building (only a couple months into
development). I was also impressed how far along they are and their
striving to understand of the video editing process. Because VLC has
a huge install base and cross-platform, this is very exciting.
Overall, I think most of us agreed that the incredible work people
have done the 8 years has really set the stage for a flourishing of
FOSS video editors. we have the libraries, the codecs, the
compression/transcoding engines. Now its really just the interface.
So try out: http://www.pitivi.org/
Its certainly not perfect yet, but better than anything ive tried so far.
