    The simplest video task of all time: take a couple PNGs and output some form of video, is already too much for this. Lots of pretty surface, but not much actual ability underneath...

    Linear video editor supporting basic cutting, filtering, encoding, batch scripting, and many formats; ideal for single-file edits, trimming, re-encoding, and simple cleanup but not for multi-track or montage projects requiring nonlinear editing capabilities.

    Although I like Avidemux, you cannot capture video with it.

    Simple, yet powerful program for quick edits (whether muxing or re-encoding). Seeking through key-frames is simple, and there are some additional filters for simple tasks.
