I was hoping for someone who has actually done this to answer. "Tool
X is what I use, and I do Y and Z with it." There's no end to sites
that have lists of things available. Given that it takes multiple
hours to build most of them, I'd rather see if someone else has
actually used one before first.

: ok
: so I give up.. what does "non-linear" mean in this context?
Non-linear in this context means that I can take a video stream. I
can subset it into clips and arrange the clips into an order of my
choosing and save the result as a new video. Bonus if the meta-data
can be saved so I can tweak the edits at a later time. kino does
this, but only with DV video.
