OpenShot is a great program. The version of MLT that comes with Karmic is too old (not frame-accurate) so you need to manually compile the latest. Once you do that, it's smooth sailing.

Rich and intuitive UI, great features, quick results. It will be a winner if it makes it into Lucid.

Surely there's a PPA that would be easier than compiling from source?

I couldn't find any PPAs so I used the OpenShot build wizard. It worked great -- fire and forget.

It does expose a gstreamer bug though. After the wizard installs frei0r you won't be able to run Totem/Rhythmbox/etc. To get around this I just dual-booted. Here's more on that:

Of course, this should be all sorted out for Lucid.
