Video Editors for Linux

One of the reasons why many people refuse to switch from proprietary operating systems is (in their opinion) the lack of good creative programs in Linux. And if Photoshop can be replaced by Gimp, and Wavelab is replaced by Audacity, then there is no substitute for Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas.

I decided to dispel a little myth. Indeed, a full replacement for these powerful editors yet. But people who want, say, to mount their vacation or other amateur video, can be useful
