Try broadcast2000 for Linux video editing - supposed to be very good.  I
have only had limited success in video so far due to the large number of
incompatable/propriety fromats available, but used to use it for audio. 
There may be something in the Berkely MPEG tools that may help as well.  I
have installed it but so far cannot read the manuel which is in either a
framemaker .mif format or an exported postscript that nothing I have will
read!  Some of its features look vey enticing, if I could only figure out
how to run it!
