Ubuntu Studio great for audio production, not so hot for video or graphics
Ubuntu Studio has received a fair bit of attention. The multi-media production offshoot of the popular Linux distribution is worth a look for audio production but, according to Linux.com, leaves a lot to be desired for serious video or graphics production. Nathan Willis writes, "Don't misunderstand: there are video and graphics applications in Ubuntu Studio, but they are standard fare available in almost any run-of-the-mill Linux distro. For graphics, the offerings are nice ones -- some of free software's best, such as Blender, Scribus, Inkscape, and Hugin. For video, the picture is less rosy. You get Kino, a capable (if not fancy) DV video editor; the less mature but similar editor PiTiVi; and if you can manage it, the aforementioned Cinelerra."
Overall, Ubuntu Studio's shortcoming reflect the shortcomings of the software available for the Linux platform. We are however wondering, where is the video equivalent of Audacity, or when is it coming along?

I'd say the more appropriate question is where's the video equivalent of Ardour. Audacity's great for basic audio editing, but Ardour give Pro Tools a run for the money.

If you want a straightforward video editor, take a look at Avidemux and VirtualDub.
