I find OpenShot such great project that I wrote an article of it for my website. http://victor.schutijser.com/openshot.php My website is in Dutch, but I hope more people will see how great this project is!
I just want to add my voice to this sentiment. I spent an evening trying to achieve the effect I wanted as a newbie using kino and pitivi on Ubuntu 10.10.
In frustration I installed openshot and it worked like a dream. Within half a hour I was uploading to youtube and could go to bed.
