Of course!  Competition is good!  In our Darwinian world, the software 
with the most Intelligent Design is most likely to survive. :-)

From the feature sheets, it looks like LiVES is designed specifically 
for video at small to medium (SDTV) frame sizes.  It is not clear 
(yet) if Open Movie Editor is also targeted specifically for video or 
if there are plans to support the higher dynamic range content and 
resolutions necessary to make real movies.

Is there any open source movie editor capable of supporting modern 
film digital intermediates with stand-alone frames in 10-bit log or 
14+ bits linear at 2K resolution, and which supports edit definition 
lists (EDLs), and LUTs for display, as well as handles the conform 
responsibilities?  To me, these are the bare essentials to support 
editing a movie.
