Maybe you are familiar with the wonderful Inkscape screencasts published 
by heathenx (http://screencasters.heathenx.org/). While he usually use 
mecoder the most, he introduced me recently to Blender for video 
editing: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/_misc/bve/bve_01.html

I am a bit scared by Blender's GUI and would like *a lot* to use PiTiVi, 
but in my experience PiTiVi is unusable, I am not able to get form it 
anything else than crashes. So currently I stay out from video editing 
or use mecoder from the command line when I must do something.
