Open Movie Editor is a free open-source non-linear video editing and post-processing program for Linux, and included in the Ubuntu[2] and Debian[3] repositories.
The developer previously had worked on the Cinelerra project, but started the Open Movie Editor project when he started making amateur films because he felt the available software wasn't meeting his needs.
[5] Open Movie Editor supports the Frei0r plugin framework for video and audio effects.
It uses the Gmerlin audio/video library and primarily exports to QuickTime formats, but will also natively use ffmpeg for rendering options.
The developer announced 08 Dec 2009 on his blog that he had to "reschedule OME into a lower priority class," putting the project seemingly in the same situation as CineFX and Kino.
