There's a relatively new GUI package getting some attention right now. It is called LiVES (LiVES is a Video Editing System). Might be worth taking a look at.
http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=home It's a step up from Kino, but not quite the beast that Cinerrela (sp?) is. It allows you to add effects to your video (text overlays, fade-ins, etc.) supports multiple tracks, and allows audio to be added in after the fact (or even recorded separately or have it's own effects applied). The way it works is that it ignores formats while you are working on the video (as much as possible at least), and then converts everything to the correct format when you render the final video. So you also have a good deal of control over the selection of the parts you want to work with. The down side is that it is at version 0.9.8.5 - so it is in beta mode, and shows that in some ways. Not to mention the documentation for it is a little lacking at this time. But it's worth checking out if you need video editing..
