    Hullo all

    As per the title really; I'm looking for an open source (or free) non-linear video editing package for Windows. I already dual boot Ubuntu Studio which comes with OpenShot; to be honest it does pretty much what I need, but I'd prefer something that's based in Windows. Having to reboot to Linux to to do editing when all the recording is done in Windows is a bit of a PITA.

    I tried Lightworks, but I couldn't get it to recognise the video format I was importing; which was daft, because it's uncompressed video (recorded with FRAPS) and there's no point compressing it into a different format if I'm going to have to render the video again when I finish editing. I might give Lightworks another shot though.

    I'm aware of Blender's built in video sequence editor, but Blender scares me...

    Short of forking out money I don't have for something like Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas, or using what I've got now, anyone got any other suggestions? And by that I don't mean Windows Live Movie Maker... :D
