Hi rob, I am mainly a strong Adobe CS3 user (also canopus edius when needed, 
and Digital Fusion, because  work in a Matrox Reseller), and I love FLOSS 
tools. I can`t code, i don`t know anything about writing a code, but i know a 
lot about what an editor needs, and what other editors (the-company-i-work`s 
clients), and I see that fancy transitions and templates helps the users (like 
hollywoodFX, softXplode, proDAD, etc...) so I have founded a project to create 
artwork for NLEs and compositing softwares in linux, and we come very close to 
Open Movie Editor, and we expect to see our project implemented soon there.

GVFX is a blender 3D file with many scenes (each one has transitions) so the 
NLE tool will just ASK for a blender render, indicating the SCENE NAME and the 
involved clips (with In/out points).
We know that this could take A LOT OF RENDERTIME, but that`s how hollywoodFX 
works, but if they still in the market is because the user wants  that, so I 
will try to replicate it in linux.

this is the project`s blog, you can download all the files:

Other cool idea that i have suggested to Richard Spindler (which is somehow 
implemented in the new version) is using UV rendered blendermaps as DISTORTION 
MAPS (like in SHAKE or DF+). OPEN Movie Editor (OME) doesn`t have (yet) a way 
to animate parameters, but whn it does, you will be able to animate the 
beggining and end of a clip`s effect to achieve a transition.

to know more of this:

if you are interested in cool 3D transitions we think there are ways of using 
blender GAME ENGINE to make CLOSE-TO-REALTIME 3D transitions, for now, we use 
the slow (but HIGHER QUALITY) default RENDERENGINE.
