I recently had a chance to produce some training videos and a DVD of a community theater project using Adobe Premiere. Previously, I'd been an iMovie sort of guy. I'd given up on finding a decent open source video editor, despite having a tweaked out Linux laptop that was ideally suited for video work (at least from a hardware perspective) and iMovie always did everything I wanted it to.
