The BLAG developer (Fedora derived distro) made similar claims a year and a half ago or so, and compiled it for BLAG, which meant you could install it in a similar versioned Fedora. I wasn't very impressed with it, and I do editing for a living. I tried to load every video file I have on my machine and it kept giving me errors saying the formats were incompatible. The layout seemed nice enough, and I finally got it to work on some clips, but, I don't see the excitement. It did the things it could do well, but it was lacking in many basic features. I think the BLAG developer reached the same conclusion because he seemed to cease supporting it after awhile - maybe it was a dependency issue, but, I never heard much more about it from that quarter, and I just checked his repo and didn't see it. Cinelerra is the most capable of the editors I've tried, and I've tried them all, but, it has many quirks and bugs, and features that don't work, and it has a steep learning curve, but there are many guerilla producers around the world regularly using it to make everything from home video to indie films.
