There's also a commercial product, Lightworks with a free beta available to use, if you register. There's a SlackBuild here.
Caveat: haven't tried it personally, it's on my todo list.
Although there's a "beta" available, lightworks is available all platforms, whether free, or for payment. Registration is not requires (I checked ) The "free" version is limited in some functionality. The Version comparison is here: http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option...102&Itemid=213
Some of you youngsters may not remember that this was a popular software distribution method in the last Century, ofter referred to as "shareware" or similar moniker.
Avidemux is an excellent program, but doesn't really qualify as an editor - other than at the most basic level of "cuts only". I often use it for removing the commercial breaks from off-air recordings, as it allows me to strip them out without re-coding, thus preserving quality and being really fast. However, a good editor will allow for much more sophisticated joins, including (but not limited to) mixes, wipes, cutting sound and vision in different places, titling, sub-titling, DVE, etc, etc - all things beyond Avidemux's capabilities.
However, Avidemux does make an excellent transcoding tool to prepare video for editing in less capable editors.
